At the Technology, Entertainment and Design conference on Friday Wired Magazine announced it will be releasing content for the iPad this summer. Chris Anderson explains "I'm from the media world, and as you may have heard, we have lots of questions about our future. The good news is I think we found part of the answer...we think this is a game changer."
First of all, I appreciate his honesty. And because I believe he's brilliant, this statement gives me chills. I used to have a subscription to Nylon Magazine. Then it went digital and I stopped reading it. I was confined to my computer and the beautifully designed spreads lost their essence on the screen. But I understand why they went digital, and I wish I could have gotten more into it. That's why this announcement from Wired is huge for the magazine industry. If I can have the same content, design especially, to carry with me in the same way I would carry a hard copy magazine, then I think I would actually read magazines. I can have more than one subscription and not feel like I have to carry around a suitcase to read them on the go. And, honestly, it makes the iPad more appealing.
