Date: Tue, 10 Dec 1996 21:50:34 GMT Server: NCSA/1.4.2 Content-type: text/html The Information Super-Hypeway Everywhere you turn, every newscast, newspaper, magazine, and radio show is saturated with it... The Databahn. The Convergence. The I-Way. They all act as if they've stumbled into the Secret of the Universe. Digitilliterates who wouldn't know an RJ-11 from a 7-11 suddenly babble on about webs and nets as if those were the One True Path. Just look at the sappy road images they trot out. Enough to make a country-and-western singer puke. Everything is "an on-ramp to the information highway." "A detour." "A rest stop." "A tollbooth." "A dead-end." "A rut." "A fast lane." "A U-turn." They've turned it into the Information SUPER HYPEWAY.

PC Computing, June 1994
