Windows Phone Thoughts: Hacking's History

"1960s - The Dawn of Hacking: The first computer hackers emerge at MIT. They borrow their name from a term to describe members of a model train group at the school who "hack" the electric trains, tracks, and switches to make them perform faster and differently. A few of the members transfer their curiosity and rigging skills to the new mainframe computing systems being studied and developed on campus."

I've never known much about Hacking, Cracking, and Phreaking, so this brief timeline was a very interesting read!
