The information superhighway will be a high-capacity digital communication network, which in time could revolutionise the way we shop, socialise and work.
The groundwork for this technological behemoth is already well underway, with computers already communicating with one another to allow users to send electronic mail (President Bill Clinton is already connected) and access news, weather and even some shopping services. For the information superhighway to really take off though, it needs more capacity than the UK's ageing network of copper telephone wires can provide. Is Britain prepared to invest in the sort of high-capacity fibre-optic cable network that can make the technological utopia a reality?
If they only knew what was coming our way. We have access to internet via our smartphones (that we keep in our pockets when not being used), the IoT devices also login to the world wide web and some of them make orders via internet, and so on. Some of us may have been prepared for accessing the internet via PCs but the world of today would have looked amazing in 1994.
