Does anyone say "The Information Superhighway" anymore?

[Placebo]

I heard my English Professor say it and almost fell off my chair, who says that anymore?!?! HA!

1. the cool kids say "internets" now.

[Xithras]

13. "Internets" technically isn't incorrect.

The Internet began its existence as a way to connect existing computer networks to each other over huge distances, hence the name "Interlinked Networks". That mouthful was quickly shortened to "Internets", and then just as quickly "Internet".

Because the root words that combined to create "Internet" are plural, placing the "s" on the end is technically correct.

14. Oh.

Does this mean we have to stop mocking Pres. Bush? :P

[Xithras]

15. Absolutely not! Mock away!

Just don't mock any of us old hands that occasionally forget which decade we're in and slip out the wrong name ;)

Bush is ALWAYS fair game!:spank:

[Phillycat]

2. "Interweb".

[On the Road]

3. The Same Kind of People Who Refer to "the Internets"

That's about it.

[Menshevik]

[AlCzervik]

5. No because "The highways became more few"

[CornField]

6. LOL - one of my favorites!

7. I didn't know anyone much referred to the internet

as the information superhighway. I have always called it the internet and that is working fine for me. I'll leave "internets" to Bush.

9. Really?

[TheDebbieDee]

10. David Letterman used to call it......

"The Information Superhighway to nowhere!" :7

[Xithras]

11. I wish "surfing" would die.

Who the heck came up with that, and can I beat him senseless? I've been an Internet user since 1988 (no web back then) and first heard the term "surfing the Internet" back around 1994 or so. I thought it was a dumb fad that would pass into history quickly, but keep getting proven wrong.

12. Better known by its proper name which is ..

AOL.

And by the way, with new AOL 9.0 the World Wide Internet is now faster than ever.

[Droopy]

16. I said that just the other day

My mom called and asked what I was doing and I said I was spending a lot of time on the information superhighway.

No, really, nobody says that anymore.

[mcscajun]

17. Nope...I just call it the 'Net

small n, big N, no difference.

18. only if making a corny joke about they are stuck on the on ramp
