That’s a bit silly, since it is a noun at this point, meaning computing resources or computing capacity.

It’s nowhere near being a term similar to “information superhighway”, which was never a technical term used within the industry, it was purely used in communication mostly to the public or in government agency and contractor slide decks.

“Information Superhighway”, ha ha (and replete with billboards as we have come to find out).

As opposed, I suppose, to the library. Which is perhaps more like an information bike lane. (Or a pedestrian walkway?)
