The tone of the article sounds so breathlessly over-excited that it's bordering on self-parody.
Welcome to every Wired article ever, certainly from its inception well into the mid-2000s at least.
Today it's at best amusing, but those were times just 1-1.5 generations ago when that was truly, genuinely generally enjoyed (by techies & youngsters) as neither Tired nor Expired but (Hot)Wired, and as a needed/welcome breath of air in an ocean of seemingly-immutable last-century whiffs & echoes =)
