Laughably outdated term for the Internet. Mostly used during the 90s by yuppies who made their own awful-looking web pages.
"I just spent the afternoon cruising the Information Superhighway!" - toolbox in 1994

A cheesy, ebullient, woefully outdated term from the 90's, which means "Internet". Coined when all the people were massively wowed by the sheer awesomeness of the Intertubes. Nowadays in disuse unless you use it for comedy.
"With my brand new computer and the Internet, I have all the information I want within a single click of my mouse! If I want to find out how to look after a cat, I just have to type it in a search site, and WHAM! There it goes! How to buy a car? You can find it! Today's newspaper? You bet! Information for my daughter's chemistry paper? The Internet has it! Want to know about my son on student exchange in Norway? No problem! I just write him an e-mail, click "Send", and my letter travels all the way through the Atlantic and reaches him instantly and for free!"
You heard it: the Internet is the future of computing! Call now, and join the new Information Superhighway!

A word used by really hip intellectuals to describe the Internet. See also: the Net, World Wide Web.
I'm not sure what the definition of outdated is. Let's look for it on the Information Superhighway!

What the Internet used to be called in the Pre-YouTubeozoic era, around the early 90's. It is now generally frowned upon to use this term when talking about the Internet, unless you are looking for a quick way to clear a room.
"The World Wide Web" is another similar term although it is of a lesser offending description.
DAVE : Man, I was cruising the Information Superhighway all day and I scored some sweet Ace of Base tickets!
JOE : You mean the internet. Right Dave?

A word used by old computer slaesmen who've never used the internet, but act like they know shit because they caught thier acne faced son surfing for BBW porn a couple of times, and memrised the URL for said BBW porn.
Oh yeah sure Mrs. Adams, I uses the internet thousands o' times. I can tell you the information superhighway is completely free of unsuitable materials. You need a password to get onto tha' stuff, and it costs lots o' money on a credit card. No such thing as hackers neither. There is just one nerd who lives in a garage somewhere in Russia, and this little device will save you from all the bad stuff an'a hackers.
