I had purchased an item from Amazon and was offered Wired on a Special Offer. I thought, "What the heck"! Glad I took the bait. Thank YOU, Amazon!

Wired HAS to be one of the most interesting magazines I have read in my sixty-six years. I read it front to back. Occasionally, an article my not be within my scope of interest, but by and large, most articles are interesting. Normally, the main cover article is the longest...but it is also the best written and most interesting article. Every month I ALWAYS have at least one article to "rant" about. VERY informative.

The last, long cover article I read was about the "coming of age" of robots. Oddly, not long before reading the article, I was recently pondering that question myself. What WILL we as humans DO, when robots do it all for us? The article answered my question. The "Industrial Revolution" 1760 ~ 1840 caused considerable consternation, posing by many, the same question I had. Sewing machines? Oh, the ruination! We adopted and lived through it...as we have ever since.

When I started reading my first issue, I thought, "Nah, not going to like this." I was wrong. By the time I got to the end of it, I was hooked. I renewed for for three more years, almost immediately after reading my very first issue.

Great magazine! I HIGHLY recommend it.

Loosing its edge.......

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2008

For many years wired was THE magazine of a technological future, presenting technologically driven material as a world changing force. This was nerdiness without submission, and one could be interested in technology without retreating from the world. The world was becoming technology.

There was plenty of technocratic bombast, many things that were written about died in the cradle, and Wired was as closely linked to the dot-com boom as any publication, but few magazines could grasp the present, and grasp ideas of the future so well as Wired.

Wired also had a countercultural edge because it, simply because the people involved with it were willing to play with, or at least touch, any interesting and new idea that fell within Wired's orbit. This was not a magazine for everyone, but it fit its niche well.

Lately something in the tone of the magazine seems to be changing. Rather than reporting from the inside of the technologically driven world, it seems as if Wired is increasingly chasing celebrities, and involving itself with things that are trendy in the media world.

Wired is not gone, per se, but frankly, when you see Martha Stewart on the cover, apparently because she is famous, and has hired people to integrate, in no novel or overwhelming way, a website with her other media activities, it is safe to say that Wired is becoming disconnected with its audience. While many articles are still interesting, the number of good ones is declining, and the tone of the magazine has shifted. One gets a strong feeling reading it that many of the staffers used to work at Cosmopolitan or Time, and are really more interested in faddish popular crisis and fashion than they are in technology. I can't yet say that Wired is bad, and there is no good substitute for it that I know about, but unfortunately, it seems as if the magazine is heading downhill.

Intelligent writing about a variety of subjects

Lots of great tech centric articles, but not just gear jabber - but social, politicaland genrral topics related to technology and it's role in the world. It's always an interesting read, though there seems to be a strange, thankfully infrequent, focus on sex tech. (Eeeeeewwww, seriously?)

Every Issue has Something of Value to read

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2011

I received WIRED free for one year and enjoyed it so much I've renewed for two years. The first thing that surprised me was the quality of the writing. Then, I love their offbeat approach, graphics and humor.

Some months I've started reading and thought, "Gosh, this is going to be a boring issue, I'll have to e-mail them" and then the next article will be a mind blower. The writing throughout is excellent, informational, entertaining, and sprinkled with humor, irony and pops to the mind.

I'm a 68 year old woman who (born too soon) loves technology and wouldn't be without my iPad. I don't understand much of the workings of all the hardware but I'm hooked to information consumption. This magazine is good for that. Thank you, WIRED, for giving us magazine subscribers free access to the tablet edition. Love it! Keep up the good work!

I might add that many of the negative reviews have to do with delivery and not the quality of the magazine itself. I think this is unfair because it drags down the total rate.
