A screenshot of a Bright Eyes article from January 2001. Published by Seventeen magazine, on a very typical looking website for that time period. Brings me back to the old dial-up days, where the web was slow and ugly but still way better than it is now.

The business super highway is composed of many things, but it's you, the brave employee, that makes it hum!

Olden Times.

And more from the internet.

Took a bit of fiddling but I got Microsoft Fine Artist running on the Steam Deck 🎨

I loved this when I was a little guy and I still love it now.

Finger painting with the touch screen is neat too!

I'm a VERY Fine Artist 🧑‍🎨🐾

Mistigram: the only way this #teletext screen of the #InformationSuperhighway could be more #retrofuturistic would be if the artist @blippypixel had drawn someone travelling it via surfboard. (Mistigris' first homepage was hosted on Geocities, circa 1995!) This piece was included in the new MIST1121 artpack collection.

One of the more charming things about current online culture is the shared notion of what it means to dress like a woman who murdered her last three husbands.

Kape Yeel presents: Information Superhighway

We like the term of "bassdriven party jam"

They are an lternative pop/rock trio from Östersund, Sweden

Lyrically focused on surifng the internet a.k.a. the Information Superhighway in Kape Yeel language.

We added this song in this brand new playlist

Listen Kape Yeel in Spotify:

Driving drums, distorted basses and vocal chops used percussivly makes the track instantly catchy!

i love what the internet has done for mental health awareness

ill like wake up and my window is open and my purse and phone and a bottle of lyrica are missing and im like. okay well someone probably robbed me, i guess i should report this to the police since lyrica is scheduled + so insurance will cover it (something that happened a week or so ago) and like 10 or 20 years ago everyone would have just been like oh yeah that makes sense, you know? no one would have questioned the logic of that. but like now ill say that on line and someone will be like "well i dont believe in dissociative identity disorder but it otherwise seems way more likely to me that you blacked out and another personality took over your body and threw you stuff in the dumpster". and i'll just stop and be like. well i dont black out and havent since i quit benzos but you know what, otherwise that makes just way more sense, ill have to look this up. thank you so much for enlightening me with your twitter psychology degree

Hey ya'll - follow that link to the post about bifurcation.

we're all SO, SO tired.

One mistake that a journalist can make in observing these trends is to assume that, because the software-based tech industry seems to be struggling now, things will stay like this forever. More likely, we are in an intermission between technological epochs. We’ve mostly passed through the browser era, the social-media era, and the smartphone-app-economy era. But in the past few months, the explosion of artificial-intelligence programs suggests that something quite spectacular and possibly a little terrifying is on the horizon. Ten years from now, looking back on the 2022 tech recession, we may say that this moment was a paroxysm of scandals and layoffs between two discrete movements.

emphasis mine. i don't think AI is really going to be a splash on its own, it'll be more subtle than that. i think a bifurcation of what we use every day is more likely and will be felt by most people on the internet.

Me refusing to use anything but “information superhighway” and correcting anyone who says internet

I’m opening a rival 90s waldenbooks/kinkos pop up next door where you can photocopy books about the information superhighway, jump on a trampoline wearing moonshoes, buy a pack of cigarettes from a vending machine, then smoke them at the bar.
