Another component of the Information Highway is a huge number of independent bulletin board systems (BBS) run by individuals and groups, which frequently have a specific focus, such as legal issues, computer games, communicating with parents of children in their school, etc. A BBS is a computer system run by an individual or organization that maintains files of information, news bulletins and/or software programs for users to access and also allows users to communicate with other users and to post questions, responses and other information to an electronic board for others to read and use. While these BBS's are not all interconnected, many of them are connecting with the Internet to retrieve interesting information for users and to allow users to send and receive e-mail through the BBS to others outside the BBS.

While the Information Highway exists today, it is more akin to a system of back roads--or at best, state roads--than the Interstate freeway system or Information Superhighway of tomorrow. Accessing the wealth of information available on the Internet, for example, requires a significant amount of learning and uses more complex "programming-like" language. With its growing popularity, however, more and more tools and services are developing to make it easier for the average individual to find and do what they want to do online. Plus, more and more of the independent services, networks and BBS's are connecting to the Internet, increasing all users' access to information and people.
