Wired (1-year)

I am an older geek (demographically I am probably very OLD compared to the average WIRED reader) who enjoys staying informed about emerging and fast-evolving technology of every type/sort/ilk. Unlike other hard-tech magazines I read, WIRED is unique in that it places a "human" face on technology, no matter how razor-edged it might be. How many tech and/or hard science magazines even pretend to present the "big picture"? Humans are developing tech at a furious rate, and WIRED helps me ponder tech's implications/impact on society, the environment, finance, etc. Yes, I am interested not only in tech, but in hard and soft sciences, socio-economics, politics and other arenas which impact our world. WIRED satisfies all these interests.

The issue (first one) I got was completely filled with advertisements you had to literally hunt for content.

too many ads, not one single finished product.
what is the point of this magazine? aw yeah, i've heard about
the global warming but don't ask me what where why is happening type of
no-information?
no, thank you, it is a waste of time, and lots of trees...

Wired Magazine is a very interesting and useful magazine, and at this price its even better. Its nice to know I'll always have a good, large magazine to read for bus and subway trips.

I've always bought this magazine on the newsstand. It's informative,funny and responsible. Now I'll never miss an issue.
