Wired.com was created as part of a grand vision of Louis Rossetto and Jane Metcalfe, who anticipated the transformative impact of the digital revolution. Rossetto, a journalist and entrepreneur, and Metcalfe, a film/video producer, used this insight to launch Wired magazine in 1993. Today, the site is managed by the publishing conglomerate Condé Nast.Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Wired.com focuses on how emerging technologies affect culture, the economy, and politics. They cover a wide array of subjects including Business, Culture, Gear, Ideas, Science, Security, and Transportation.**One interesting fact**: Wired.com is known for its annual Vaporware Awards, which humorously recognizes products, video games, and other technological goods promised, but never delivered by their developers. The tongue-in-cheek awards are a reminder of the gap that can occur between ambitious tech promises and reality.
