Superhighway?? I don't have any idea about that. But for me, it is a internet connections. One of the early nicknames for the Internet
was the "information superhighway" because it was supposed to provide
the average person with fast access to a practically limitless amount of
data. For example, Imagine a car (a file, for instance) parked in parking lot A (a
computer). The car needs to get to parking lot B (another computer
located miles from the
first computer). In order to get to the other parking lot, the car had
to be driven (retrieved) on the highway. From the highway, the car gets
on the freeway
or interstate (the superhighway), and then gets on back to the smaller
highway leading to parking lot B. While on the highways and freeways,
that same car
travels along with lots of other cars (other files being retrieved) on
their way to other parking lots. The car reaches parking lot B and stays
there. The Internet is a worldwide computer network made up of thousands of
autonomous networks run by no one. It's one vast superhighway formed by
many converging highways, the computers or separate networks.For these networks to be able to communicate with each other, they use a common set of protocols called the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol or the TCP/IP. TCP/IP is defines that computers use in order for them to be able to exchange information and communicate within the network. Popular discourse would have us believe that the Information Superhighways will just be a faster, more powerful version of the Internet. Many people use their internet using a modem or router like Wi-fi, Smart Broandband, MyGlobe etc. From now, so many people using internet faster and they can connect to the internet through cellphones. Internet is important to us because it can gives information to us, we can communicate with other peoples, you can watch video and movies from internet or listen to your favorite music, play online games, and more. But Internet sometimes gives virus or bad communication like porn sites, so internet is not always good and safe.
