And now, a word to the wired: E-mail is no excuse for lousy English.
And the short attention span of the wired reader only makes things worse.
What does wired mean in the above sentences?
"Wired" here is a pun: it means both "wired up to the internet", and "in the state of hypertension that follows overmuch excitement or activity".
In fact, there's a double pun in the first example: it's also a play on the phrase "a word to the wise".
