几个同学做这篇阅读，但是做出的答案都不大一样，恳请大家帮忙分析一下，急需正确答案，谢谢！
Joseph Weizenbaum, professor of computer science at MIT, thinks that the sense of power over the machine ultimately spoils the computer hacker and makes him into a not very pleasant sort of programmer. The hackers are so involved with designing their programs, making them more and more complex and bending them to their will, that they do not bother trying to make them understandable to other users. They rarely keep records of their programs for the benefit of others, and they rarely take time to understand why a problem happened.
Computer science teachers say they can usually pick out the prospective hackers in their courses because these students make their homework assignments more complex than they need to be. Rather than using the simplest and most direct method, they take joy in adding extra steps just to prove their cleverness.
But perhaps those hackers know something that we don't about the shape of things to come. "That hacker who had to drop out of MIT is now a multimillionaire of the computer industry," says MIT professor Michael Dertouzos. "And two former hackers became the founders of the highly successful Apple home computer company."
When seen from this aspect, the hacker phenomenon may not be so strange after all. If, as many psychiatrists say, play is really the basis for all human activity, then hacker games are really the preparation for future developments.
Sherry Turkle, a professor of sociology at MIT, has for years been studying the way computers fit into people's lives. She points out that the computer, because it seems to us to be so intelligent, capable and so human, affects the way we think about ourselves and our ideas about what we are. She says that computers and computer toys already play an important role in children's efforts to develop an identity by allowing them to test ideas about what is alive and what is not. And the youngsters can form as many slight differences and harmonious relationships with the computers as they can with people.
