The information Superhighway!

I love hindsight- it creates so much humour! Anyone else remmember the old phrase that is the title of this blog post, from back in the 90's? Well, think of the irony that this was thrown about when the internet was new, and dial-up was the only connection.

Yes, the days of the AOL 9.0 "Free Trial!" discs, when you'd get about 7 in the door everyday, and end up using them all as beermat's, or mobile's for toddler's bedrooms. Made neat frisbee's too. But when you think about the old whiring connecting time of the crappy modem's, it becomes funnier and funnier how inappropriate "information superhighway" was. Nowadays, that wouldn be like an "neglected information B-road that's half quagmire leading from Norwich to Surbiton. A pretty shite transportation network i'm sure you'll agree.

And remmember how much fun the internet was? You'd look up utter crap just because you could! Garden furnishngs, how to milk your very first Yak, a brief guide to owl defecation. Well, unless your garden furnishings need some yak milk and owl crap, I don't think it was particularly useful.

Still, I miss those days when the internet itself was a marvel. But the pornographic capabilities have increased, so hey. Balances out I guess :P
