    I remember use of the phrase “information superhighway” only really existing for a short window around the early days of the WWW while it was still novel and exciting and before it started to become mundane. I’d say you’re bang on for the window.

    Those were the best days of the Internet, and not just because I was a teenager who’d discovered there were pictures of boobs on it.

      “information superhighway”

      The term was actually coined by Al Gore in 1978 but came into widespread usage in the mid-1990s as the Internet took off.
