Yeah, the information superhighway was NOT originally the web. Many influential people, like BillG, thought interactive TV and other such innovations would be the “big thing” until Netscape came out and began to completely transform the industry. Then, after a short bit, Netscape began supporting Java Applets and the world was made slightly crappier than it might otherwise have been. EDIT: I say crappier due to security flaws that were present with JVM and Applets early on
