While looking at a newsgroup
While looking at a newsgroup posting from an old AT&T ad campaign (via fury.com), I’ve come across this oh-so-familiar piece of not-so-technological technological jargon:
INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY.
*shiver* You remember that phrase? Everyone was riding the fucking information superhighway, and even worse, everyone was using that damn phrase. “Are you plugged in, man? Are you riiiding the information superhighway? You know, Al Gore invented the Internet — without him, no one us would be cruising down that giant, uhm, highway of… uhmm… information.” Yeah.
Aaah, the internet glory days. Now the Information Superhighway has tollbooths every 100 yards, and is littered with giant billboards for “GET OUT OF DEBT” and “INCREASE PENIS SIZE 1-3 INCHES NATURALLY.”
(*pause* Where IS Al Gore, anyway? Did anyone stop to tell him that he looked like Commander Riker with that damn beard on? And did I mention that contestants are posting to BlindDateBlog now?)
