We're taking technology for granted.

I was thinking today that I don't hear the term 'information superhighway' nearly enough any more. In the mid to late '90s all we used to hear about was this highway, and how we were gonna go to exciting new places. Chip Douglas aka The Cable Guy, waxed poetic about it in the famous film:

The future is now! Soon every American home will integrate their television, phone and computer. You'll be able to visit the Louvre on one channel, or watch female wrestling on another. You can do your shopping at home, or play Mortal Kombat with a friend from Vietnam. There's no end to the possibilities!

We need to bring back that term. I want to hear more about this information superhighway, and how I can benefit from it. You've steered your way through the rest stops and gotten off at the wrong exit and ended up here, somehow. How does that make your future a better place?
