Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - technology for technophiles I've subscribed to Wired Magazine for several years, though I confess that that I don't read every issue from cover to cover. This is a magazine best suited to Silicon Valley technophiles. There are a lot of ads for the latest gadgets, and the short articles about these new technologies appeal to more avid gadget collectors than me. So why have I not cancelled my subscription? I keep reading Wired because of the feature articles. They are well researched, thoughtful, and clever; they often cover an aspect of the business or culture of technology that other magazines miss. I can still remember some of the best articles -- an article about why FedEx is really a high tech company, an article about how fiber optic cable is laid and what that means for the economics of broadband, an article about how the European Commission's Competition Bureau is shaping the global technology business through its regulatory authority. If you are a technophile, you s!hould subscribe if you don't already. But even if you're not, you should consider it if you work in the tech sector or have an interest in how technology affects all of our lives. Rating: - Still bleeding edge, which makes it different The best thing about Wired is that it has stayed true to its roots over all of these years. Wired has always had a forward-looking, sophisticated attitude toward technology. You can tell that every article is well-researched and no feature in the magazine is an afterthought. In every issue, you will find: - stories about the unsung heroes who are really responsible for pushing the limits of technology - some politically-oriented article that shows the growing interplay between technology and politics - cool digital and electronic gadgets (that usually cost a lot of $$) - fun stuff like Jargon watch, Wired vs. Tired, and even some of the ads (how often can you say that?) Beyond that, I find Wired is the best place to read about things like the melding of human and computer and the progess of technology outside of the U.S. So, I find every issue interesting. It's a little less useful to me as an investor in technology stocks, but it does offer me that broader perspective on technology that helps put investable ideas into context. The clincher is the price - a small sacrifice for so much intriguing and entertaining content. I once considered discontinuing my subscription, but realized that it's so different from everything else I read and just one decent article an issue makes it worthwhile. Very glad I kept it. So, if you've never read Wired, I would give it definitely give it a try. Rating: - Wired is back to define what digital culture is I remember when I first read Wired, back in 1994. They were on their second year: now it's been ten years Wired's been around, and it can be said without a doubt that they've contributed to shape the digital culture every bit as much as they have reported about it. I have been and on-and-off subscriber of the magazine and hadn't been for a while, but ever since their edition about Music earlier in 2002 (May, I believe) Wired is back to its old self. Over the course of its life, it's had a couple of cycles it's gone through: from awesome, to mediocre, to awesome, to mediocre... Now it's back to awesome. The new editing team has made an extraordinary effort at defining content in ways that result appealing and go in line with the times. This, I consider to be the most remarkable accomplishment they have: the ability to redefine themselves to adapt to the world around them, as opposed to trying to force themselves down readers' throats. Get your Wired subscription today. Although the content is online too, you miss a lot of the reading experience... plus, c'mon: it's only a buck an issue!
