Sadly nobody says "surf the web" any more

  Nor the "world wide web", ask the younger ones what www stands for and they get really confused. If you notice nowadays all websites use just https:// https:// rather than https://www https://www.

    And good riddance, there was never a good reason for using www. in the first place and with SRV records to direct other services to different IPs if needed it makes even less sense.

  It's also been quite some time since I've heard anyone talking about the "information superhighway".

    That was a Microsoft term, Bill Gates wrote a book about it in 1994, and then wrote a second edition a year later replacing the phrase with "internet".

    Even the information superhighway has gone out of fashion.
