Any mechanism that permits the high speed transfer of data from one computer system or network to another, like the internet, cable, broadband, etc. The World Wide Web is the ultimate information superhighway. The term is associated with Al Gore who introduced the term in 1978. See related links for more information (via the information superhighway!)
