That is an interesting post. Various things strike me as amusing. Wired wasn’t a ‘networking’ mag at all in the first year or more, nothing internet. By the time he hears about the Web I had been publishing a magazine called The World Wide Web Newsletter for six months.

Silicon Prairie. Texas Instruments. Xerox. Compaq. Amstrad. Ability Plus. Radio Shack. Much harder to create the future when you also have to beat the path.

And things people today consider as perks => food at work, sleep capsules etc originally were created because people were working 18-20h days and literally were sleeping and eating in front of the screens because they didn’t want to leave the office, not because it was a perk
