It almost doesn't matter whether he calls it an information superhighway, an infobahn, or a National Information Infrastructure. What matters is his personal and sincere interest in computers and communications and the fact that his enthusiasm has raised our popular consciousness of telecommunications. The media cacophony over phenomena like the Internet fosters an open architecture and emphasizes access by all Americans. Continental Cable, the local cable company in Cambridge, Massachusetts, now offers Internet access at 500,000 bits per second. When fiber reaches the home, by some estimates, we will have access to as much as 100 billion bits per second.
Most people generally make a false assumption that more bits are better.
More is more. In truth, we want fewer bits, not more. Our needs fall along a spectrum. At 7 a.m. on a workday, you are less likely to be interested in browsing stories. Serendipity just does not play a key role then.
