This was an amazing documentary. I was blown away that people could figure out how to use tones to dial a phone, and how investing so much time and energy into a hobby could end up as something that is such an integral part of modern life. I wish that there were some similar thing nowadays, or that people would spend more effort trying to "hack" computers; concentrating on that rather than whether or not things will sell could lead to more innovation and faster-improving technology.
I also thought that it was funny how much the world overreacted to Mitnick; how could one man and a payphone cause a nuclear war? I also thought that it was strange that people tried so hard to catch him.
