The Wired Manifesto

I just got the latest copy of Wired Magazine, celebrating the 25 years of its existence (1993-2043 ). One of the magazines I never ask for, but get anyway. They are mostly advertisements, but advertisements are now so common (in politics, for example) they seem to be a direct manifestation of our culture. Here is the Manifesto:

Why Wired? Because the digital revolution is whipping through out lives like a Bengali typhoon, while the mainstream media is groping for the snooze button. It has dealt with the complexity of being a media organization optimistically covering the forces destroying media.

One word is important here - optimistically, Probably the only people writing about the Web, who are.
