• …But there is no such thing. We collectively choose the world that we want, not just as consumers, but as people who have and promote ideas.

  And the great irony is that with this article, Anderson has done a masterful job of showing exactly how and why human beings try to shape the technological narrative of their worlds. We make arguments for personal and intellectual reasons based on our experience, desires, and ideological leanings.

  Anderson doesn’t work on, nor believe in, the economics of content on the web, and so while he’s making his case against the web generally, he’s also making the specific point that print and tablet editions of Wired make sense, but its website (which he doesn’t edit) does not.

  That’s certainly an argument that can be made, but it’s impossible not to notice — if you worked at Wired.com like I did — that Anderson’s inevitable technological path happens to run perfectly through the domains (print/tablet) he controls at Wired, and away from the one that he doesn’t.
