Information superhighway. Abstract computer art depicting the information superhighway, showing a computer highway of zeroes and ones running towards the Earth. A personal computer and a computer circuit are superimposed. The stream of zeroes and ones (binary digits) is a notation used in computing to code information. Images, sound and computer data can all be reduced to zeroes and ones, and transmitted at the speed of light around the globe. The information superhighway is a growing network of globally linked computers, televisions, phones, and communication networks such as the internet and world wide web (WWW).
