Best magazine on the digital world, 2002-02-28
I bought my first copy of Wired from the newsstand in 1997 and I have been a subscriber ever since. Not every issue is great and the change in style over the last few years has been up and down. Still, the vast majority of the time I find myself devoting 2-3 hours after its arrival in the mail to reading it from cover to cover. The articles cover every aspect of technology and society. Features on the Microsoft trial, the Open Source movement, and biotech are what anyone would expect in a tech magazine. What sets Wired apart are stories on roller coasters, ship bone yards and autism. When I was stationed in Korea for a year it was not practical for me to transfer all my magazine subscriptions. Of the two I transferred, Wired was at the top of the list. If I could only subscribe to one magazine, it would be Wired.

Great Magazine but more ads than content, 2002-01-01
This magazine is great, however, it seems to have more advertising than content. The good part is that most of the advertising is for stuff in which the reader of this magazine would probably be interested.
 Sadly, its time has passed., 2001-11-24
I used to love Wired, and read every issue cover-to-cover. Unfortunately, it's now just a shadow of its former self. Since being sold to Conde Nast publications (or even before?), Wired has been stripped of its meat and transformed into even more of an ad-laden pseudo-catalog than it once was. The irony of the title has become even more obvious as online forums and publications have matured while Wired's writing has lost its urgency and its ad/content ratio has degraded. Unless you're looking for a catalog of geek toys to flip through, your money is better spent elsewhere.

 Great Mag for Gen X/Y/Z, 2001-11-06
Wired was one of the first mags to tackle the new digital generation. And they did it with gusto: raw reviews, edgy editorials, controversial topics and great feature stories. You always uncover insights into the future... how different technologies or political situations will impact our lives. Many other magazines have tried to copy Wired, but they still have my vote as the best for Gen X/Y/Z!!

not just another computer magazine, 2001-11-02
Wired pushes at the forefront of technology reporting. This is
a thick, colorful, dense magazine. Some articles are among the
best ever written, and some aren't. Wired lets their authors
write really really in depth long articles when they need to.
This is more of a magazine about how technology impacts society
than it is a typical technology magazine. I look forward to
recieving this every month because there just isn't anything like it.
