Benjamin Franklin: Patriotic Hacker

I sure like the idea of thinking of Benjamin Franklin as a hacker. And a patriotic hacker at that! (Like most of us, I imagine.)

Franklin was a socially and politically effective hacker who created the leading edge of science, technology, and society. He was responsible for breakthroughs like lighting=electricity, and inventions like bifocals and the Franklin stove. His printing operation was the 18th century equivalent of the web (the number of newspapers in the colonies expanded from a couple of dozen to a few hundred during his life, and he funded the creation of several of them).
