Information superhighway. Abstract computer art depicting the information superhighway, showing rows of personal computers running towards the Earth. A night scene of lit skyscrapers and cars on a highway is superimposed. Images, sound and computer data can all be reduced to zeroes and ones (binary digits) and transmitted at the speed of light around the globe.
