  3. The Proto-hackers - Future Tense - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Hacking didn’t start with the computer age. Back in the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s geeks got their kicks from tapping into the phone lines. They called it Phone Phreaking. It was sometimes activism and sometimes straightforward mischief. Either way, author Phil Lapsley believes they laid the foundations for our current attitude toward technology.

    Phil Lapsley, Author of Exploding The Phone, a book on ‘Phone Phreaking’.
