The Bright Future Through the Eyes of Wired

Any reader of this blog knows my thoughts about Wired Magazine. It offers very optimistic insights into the future and helps readers to best prepare for that future than any magazine on the market today, in my opinion. It isn't always done through powerful and persuasive articles (although there are plenty of them), but even through a simple picture like the one in this post. I apologize for the size, but you need it large in order to truly appreciate it.

If you look closely you will find:

Patient: Maggie Bond
Tumor Ex 30MG
Tablet
Take one tablet by mouth 3X daily for treatment of lung cancer. Tumor should disappear by day 20.

It goes on to mention quantities, the doctor, refills, etc. The date? 1/18/14. Right around the corner. Although this is fiction, I believe that the dramatic changes going on in medicine today supports such optimism.

Everything we read and hear shows that cancer is on decline, even as people are living longer than ever and we have our largest population in history. Furthermore, the treatments are becoming less invasive and with more dramatic results.

Sure, at this point, this is wishful thinking. But it is the type of optimism grounded in fact. This epitomizes the style of Wired Magazine. That is why it is one of the only magazines I literally wait for with great anticipation. This feature is called "Artifacts from the Future", which is a reoccurring theme in the publication. This picture speaks a thousand very optimistic words and offers hope and excitement about the future. That is also what Wired Magazine does for its readers each month. At $10 a year for 12 issues, it is a very wise investment.
