Why Wired?
Because the Digital Revolution is whipping through our lives like a
Bengali typhoon - while the mainstream media is still groping for the
snooze button.
And because the computer "press" is too busy churning out the latest
PCInfoComputingCorporateWorld iteration of its ad sales formula cum
parts catalog to discuss the meaning or context of social changes so
profound that their only parallel is probably the discovery of fire.
There are a lot of magazines about technology.
Wired is not one of them. Wired is about the most powerful people on the
planet today - the Digital Generation. These are the people who not only
foresaw how the merger of computers, telecommunications and the media is
transforming life at the cusp of the new millennium, they are making it
happen.
Our first instruction to our writers: Amaze us.
Our second: We know a lot about digital technology, and we are bored
with it. Tell us something we've never heard before, in a way we've
never seen before. If it challenges our assumptions, so much the better.
So why now? Why Wired? Because in the age of information overload, the
ultimate luxury is meaning and context.
Or put another way, if you're looking for the soul of our new society in
wild metamorphosis, our advice is simple. Get Wired.
