Well, I don't remember exactly but when I worked for AT&T in 1982 there was this big fuss about something called the information superhighway. We finally had a pilot system running about a year later. Another year later about 1984 The Net started to get traffic mostly from government institutions, educational institutions and a handful of engineers. I could be wrong about the exact years but there was definitely no information superhighway or (aka NET) in 1978. BenT |
