I wanted to be an elementary school teacher my whole life.

College just didn't even have computers for an under-curriculum when I started college.

My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.

Everything that has a computer in will fail. Everything in your life, from a watch to a car to a radio, to an iPhone, it will fail if it have a computer in it.

A lot of hacking is playing with other people, you know, getting them to do strange things.

I worked with such concentration and focus and I had hundreds of obscure engineering or programming things in my head. I was just real exceptional in that way
