In this Ted Talk, Holman shows us what a hacker does when they get bored. In the beginning of the show, he said that his hotel room was boring to a normal person but to a hacker, they would notice that the tv is a little different from the ones they have at home. So they would play around with it and realize that they could see what people in the other rooms are seeing. Then he realized that he can change what they are watching, so it became a hilarious prank to switch what other hotel guest's tv channels. What I found hilarious is that he created a robot that looks like a hoberboard with a iPad on top of it and it would go around the hotel looking for people with an internet connection. The robot was roll towards the person and then show them their username and password. Imagine how shocked that person would be. Another was when there was this hacker called Sammy who made a code so that anyone that sees his social media account automatically becomes his friend and their page would say "Sammy is my hero". I thought that this was funny becauase just imagine everyone's faces when they log back into their account and found that their page has been changed to "Sammy is my hero". I mean that person might be confused and slightly freaked out but it's still a funny prank.
