	Information Highway
		Information Highway is a term attributed to former American vice-president Al Gore in the 1990s and refers to the delivery of digital media over high-speed networks.
		Although the term Information Highway has been called a flawed metaphor, it serves an important role in providing a catch-all term for developments that are in chaos and are poorly understood.
		Industry and government have concluded that the Information Highway will be the driving force behind economic growth of the next century through new services delivered to home and business and through the transformation of existing services.

		The information highway initiative is essential for Canada's success in a new global economy in which value, jobs and wealth are based on the creation, movement and application of information.
		Canada's information and communications infrastructure will be a "network of networks," creating vital communications links among Canadian businesses and their clients; among industry, government and universities; among artists, cultural organizations and their audiences; among hospitals, clinics and patients; among schools; and among communities, large and small, from one end of the country to the other.
		The information highway is an ideal vehicle for these industries to display and distribute their wares domestically and to the world.

	Information highway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The information highway is a term used especially in the 1990s to describe the Internet.
		The official project was dubbed the National Information Infrastructure (NII) and went beyond the interconnectivity of just computers; the scope broadened to include all types of data transmissions between a plethora of places, people, and devices.
		Both terms are used less frequently now that for many people the Internet has become a less abstract and more concrete thing; the highway analogy, though useful and apt, has perhaps served its purpose.

	Conceptual Blending on the Information Highway:
		Though these information highways can still lead us to places in space, their most important function is the destination to which they lead in time--a society transformed by information technology.
		Building the information highway is both laying the conduits on which information travels and transforming the U.S. federal regulatory system to provide needed legislative definitions to adjudicate commercial transactions in the future.
		Information is valuable only insofar as it fuels about transformation; hence what is needed is not better protection of the information from others but simply a way to pay information-creators based on the timeliness and usefulness of their information; presumably the more transformative the information, the more money the creator will make.

	Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
		When information is organized in a hierarchical database, the user is forced to commit to a certain class of information before he can view more specific data that fall under that class.
		When information is organized in hypertext, as it is on the Web, however, instead of the privileged relations between a class and its members, the organizing principle is the interconnectedness of all knowledge.
		So far as information technology develops means of communication that enable people to keep track of their commitments and to see how their speech acts open new domains of action, information technology supports the ethical sphere.

	Privacy and the Canadian Information Highway
		Another principle entails freedom of individuals to choose whether or not to connect to the information infrastructure, to accept or reject services that may affect their level of privacy, and to be free to subscribe to, and be charged for, only those services they wish to receive.
		In addition, the increasing matching of public sector information with private sector information, such as the matching of data on welfare recipients with bank or financial information to ascertain eligibility, also are seen to narrow the gap.
		The question of whether the information highway should be designed to provide high levels of privacy protection and whether it will slow the pace and raise the cost of innovation is also addressed by many respondents.

		As was the case with Britain’s experience alerting of the bank fraud in Australia, the Internet’s ability to disguise a perpetrator, as a legitimate business operator, is as essential to cybercrime’s success as the ability of the end user to stay informed of such tactics is to its failure.

		HSIS provides information about the safety performance of the highway system and, more specifically, the effects that changes in highway design and operations have on safety.

		Rather than the deliverers of information and assessors of students' reservoirs of stored factual information, teachers become the facilitators of learning--the coach that guides students to discover new areas, to ask probing questions, to question information found, to develop new theories and to search for information that supports and refutes these theories.
