emember all that late-1980s talk about the Information Superhighway? You
Rlearned you’d get 500 cable channels, not just 50 (or, as comedians put it, 500
terrible channels instead of 50 terrible channels). Like most predictions involving
technology, this one was way off the mark. (Add this one to the growing catalog of
predictions gone awry, such as the famed remark by a 1950s IBM executive that the
world would need, at most, a dozen or so computers.) The Information Superhighway
didn’t happen at the TV; instead, it happened at the personal computer, connected to
the Internet and the World Wide Web.
