-The Hacker Generation was rooted in the hobbyist movement, a sub-culture of do-it-yourself electronics buffs. These were the people who bought the [[Altair]], a precurser of the first personal computer, when it was first advertised in 1976. In the San Francisco Bay Area the appearance of the [[Altair]] stimulated the formation of the [[Homebrew Computer Club]], where members such as [[Steve Wozniak]] and [[Lee Felsenstein]] discussed how to make a personal computer.
