Below is a selection of recent newspaper and magazine
headlines, courtesy of the CPSR/Berkeley Newsletter:


        Lost on the information highway
        (Washington Post, Dec. 16, 1993)


        Roadkill on the information highway
        (Washington Post, Dec. 6, 1993)


        Traffic jams already on the information highway
        (New York Times, Nov. 3, 1993)


        US West-Time Warner deal could put a pothole in the
        information highway (Washington Post, May 21, 1993)


        Looking for a road map to the data highway
        (Washington Post, April 5, 1993)


        Building the on ramp to the electronic highway
        (Time, May 31, 1993)


        Hitting the brakes on the data highway
        (Business Week, Sept. 27, 1993)


I'm afraid we're going to see a lot more of these.
For instance, I think the following are inevitable:


        Toll booths coming to the information highway.
        Car pool lanes proposed for the information highway.
        Rubbernecking delays plague the information highway.
