	   - Why are hackers often socially backward ?

Because many socially backward people become hackers.  Once they
find an environment in which they can totally assimilate themselves...
they do away with any unnecessary (read any) social interactions
or responsibilities.  Cutting one's self off from people like this
is the sign of a very shallow and undeveloped personality.

	   - What makes one become a hacker, what is the driving force ?

Fun... like sex.  Some make love...some are just jerking off.

	   - Why are hackers getting such publicity nowadays (e.g. WARGAMES)

New social phenomenom.  Computers are making big headlines and so are the
poeple that service them.  Take particular note of that last statement.
