Before the advent off the wireless technology era, the existing communication technologies were primarily powered by wired technology. From the telephone to the fax machine, communication was not possible without a physical connection between the communication device and the source of the power of the device. For instance, there had to be a connection between a wired telephone and the dial board for communication to be possible. Just as with every other wired device, wireless communication has successfully displaced wired communication.

Why should you learn hacking? First, to protect yourself. Cyber criminals are everywhere, stealing people’s sensitive data, infecting computers with ransomware, and gaining access to bank accounts. Once you’re aware of the techniques they use, you’ll be able to defend yourself. Second, you can become a “white hat hacker”, a cyber security expert who helps companies find vulnerabilities in their software. You can earn tens of thousands of dollars for discovering a single bug.
