Plenty of people envision hackers as evil people who intend to harm the innocent. Ethical Hackers are now kind of becoming the alchemists of the 21st century, they speak the language of code, the language that drives so much of our lives. Hackers speak many languages, but in principle what makes them alchemists — is they all speak the mysterious language of code. The coders, the developers, the designers, the user experience experts are driving our world. Ethical hackers speak the language of code that is the lingo that essentially is binding us all into one universal binary language. There are many sponsored hackathons and hacker events as there is a growing appreciation of their skill and expertise. Hackers are becoming the new elite, the solvers of some of societies largest issues and are cutting apps that are fundamentally changing the way we evolve and live today.
