#informationsuperhighway — Public Fediverse posts

One day in the mid-90s, my phone rang, and when I answered, the voice on the other end said, "Hello. This is the information superhighway calling."

I held the receiver out in front of me and stared at it, wondering if I was dreaming. #EarlyInternet #90s #InformationSuperHighway

I remember why!
Alta Vista was the search engine of the day.

Then Google popped up, and it was super effective. And for a long while, 6-12 months it was only something folks in the know used.

So by "googling" it, you were one of the #digerati

The in crowd.

Part of me will always live in 1998. The information super-highway is still a world of endless possibilities, where anybody can have their own website. If I don't like one website, I can just visit a different one today, or even make my own. A social media site is still only one website among billions. The internet is so much bigger. Each of us makes it bigger. The cyberspace utopia lives in my heart.
