I'm wired differently.

I left 'Wired' before it was sold to Conde Nast and Lycos, so I didn't experience that transition.

There's a kind of immediacy that comes with being constantly connected that I don't really relate to in my generation.

To the small group of editors and designers who would launch Wired in January 1993, technology represented the future's best hope; but to the media, the tech boom was yesterday's story.

We live in a cult of the upgrade right now. There's always something around the corner that will make whatever you think is cool right now feel obsolete.

With lower start-up costs and a vastly expanded market for online services, the result is a global economy that for the first time will be fully digitally wired-the dream of every cyber-visionary of the early 1990s, finally delivered, a full generation later.

My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it, and it will probably be poorer; less fun and less money.

It is, I believe, the greatest generation any society has ever produced.

I'm so envious of that genetic wiring that immediately puts a smile on your face. My genetic wiring just puts creases in my eyebrows.
