1. WIRED arrived 20 years ago: "A burst of fresh air from a distant planet" "a postcard from the future."

3. How WIRED spots the future: Look for Cross Pollinators. Surf the Exponentials.
4. How WIRED spots the future: Favor the Liberators. Respect Audacity.
5. How WIRED spots the future: Bank on Openess. Demand Deep Design.
6. How WIRED spots the future: Spend Time with Time Wasters.
