This year has been the year of the hackers and leakers.
So it was about time Hollywood too jumped the bandwagon.
Were now getting a full fledged prime time TV show revolving around hackers.
Hackers are becoming the new vampires ?
Why the comparison to vampires you ask ?
Theres no connection between the two you say ?
The entire vampire season really took off when Twilight series became a box office hit.
It also started a whole era of spin offs, TV series, books, etc.
picking up on the lone vampire who was more bothered about hanging out with teenage girls than drinking blood.
Hollywood started viewing vampires differently from the scary ones to the more genteel and loving ones.
I notice the same trend recurring with hackers.
The trigger was Anonymous, and then LulzSec.
They created a whole new meaning of the modern day hacker.
No longer was a hacker seen as a nerd living in his mothers basement and doing childish works.
And this is the hacker you and I will be seeing on our TVs very soon.
Two new shows one launched, one soon to be will follow the lives of hackers.
This seems cool but is far from reality.
If this was true every tom, dick and harry would be a hacker.
It takes years to become a hacker.
Ask a hacker and you will know.
Though we need to give Hollywood the benefit of doubt.
It caters to a general audience that doesnt really care for the finer details.
CBS premiered Scorpion in September with a healthy 13.8 million viewers and is the No.
2 new show this fall, behind NCIS: New Orleans.
Apparently, this seems to be changing.
