another great WIRED article – the New Rules

// July 17th, 2009 // No Comments » // technology

WIRED is by far my favorite magazine (and one that I still subscribe to rather than read solely online). This month’s issue had a very entertaining article titled How to Behave: New Rules for Highly Evolved Humans. The article, along with having some great illustrations and awesome typography (as usual), detailed the do’s and don’ts of today’s internet-hungry society.

Here are a few that stood out for me:

• Ask a Basterd: Am I a Jerk if I Dump Our Sucky Rock Band Bassist? (Funny)
• Meet Online Friends in the Real World (Sad)
• If You Can’t Buy It Online, Feel Free to BitTorrent (Surprising it’s promoted)
• Balance Your Media Diet (Pictured below – Scary…mine’s usually combining multiple “food” groups at once)
• Ask a Basterd: Can I Post My Wife’s Butt on Twitter Without Asking? (What?!)
• There’s No Such Thing as Too Many Friends (Hmm)
• Ditch the Headset (Funny)
• Don’t Work All the Time – You’ll Live to Regret It (Sad, but true)
• Holsters: A Style Guide (Wow)

Breakdown: 9hrs total daily intake (1.0 gaming, 1.25 social networking, .75 microblogging, 2.5 news [1.0 aggregations/blogs, 1.5 traditional], 2.5 entertainment [1 podcasts, 1 online video, 1 dvr/tv])
