One day in the mid-90s, my phone rang, and when I answered, the voice on the other end said, "Hello. This is the information superhighway calling."
I held the receiver out in front of me and stared at it, wondering if I was dreaming. #EarlyInternet #90s #InformationSuperHighway
Tech companies love to sell their gadgets to parents as educational.

“Today, reports of the day’s events are conveyed to the viewing public by way of alternate universes, The Fox News cable channel conveys its version of reality, while at the other end of the ideological spectrum MSNBC presents its version. They and their many counterparts on radio are more the result of an economic dynamic than a political one. Dispatching journalists into the field to gather information costs money; hiring a glib bloviator is relatively cheap, and inviting opinionated guests to vent on the air is entirely cost-free. It wouldn’t work if it weren’t popular, and audiences, it turns out, are endlessly absorbed by hearing amplified echoes of their own biases. It’s divisive and damaging to the healthy functioning of our political system, but it’s also indisputably inexpensive and, therefore, good business.” ― Ted Koppel. Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath. October 27, 2015. Page 13. “If all information is seen as part of a war, out go any dreams of a global information space where ideas flow freely, bolstering deliberative democracy. Instead, the best future one can hope for is an ‘information peace’, in which each side respects the other’s ‘information sovereignty’: a favoured concept of both Beijing and Moscow, and essentially a cover for enforcing censorship.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019

The rear of a classic PlayStation. The original ports have been (slightly amateurishly) replaced with modern HDMI & USB ports.
I've taken a break from attempting to sort out the insane wiring inside this classic #PlayStation case to make some progress on the #portreplication on the back. It seems to have come together well, and just needs some minor tidying. This #miniPC is ready to surf the #informationsuperhighway!
Time to ride the #informationsuperhighway!
Circa 1997 i'd guess, it was when he was running NeXT Computer, who's operating system eventually become OS X.
