few．Not long ago, the Information Highway was a new road, with not many users．Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide．Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway．Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair．Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowed road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever．Then, of course, there’s Mr．Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go．But don’t trick yourself; he pays for that speeding．‎ ‎ Passage 2‎ ‎ Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it?
