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.
