The whole Idea of the net is to have it worldwide but how we still have one Info super Highway even when we live on other worlds?

Sci-Fi based answer; in Orson Scott Card's Ender series there is a means of faster than light communication called the ansible(he borrowed this idea from another, but I didnt read their stuff). Basically, you split a certain particle in half and the movement of one side is instantaneously accounted for by the other side no matter what distance there is between the particles.
In the real world, this idea is actually being researched because certain particles actually do exhibit qualities similar to those in the novels. The principle is referred to as "non-locality" or "entanglement." Its been a few years since my particle physics course, so this is where my explanation will have to stop. Look it up though, its pretty cool stuff.

Since you would never be able to talk to or communicate with everyone in this world now via the internet, why do you think that your would have time to deal with other solar systems? Anyway, if we are able to travel to other systems in timeframes that make communication reasonable, we can shared data. If there is a long time lag, say 100's of years, again it wouldn't matter in regards to internet connections.

If we ever crack quantum physics then maybe we will use the quantum similarity principle. Right now its just science fiction but the gist of it is that 2 atoms can know and mimic each other no matter where there in space. In other words, what happens to one set happens in the other. Using that you could manipulate the atom or atoms on your end to send information to the other end. It would all be instantaneous too. Wormholes would work too but then you might run in to the whole space time continuum thing.

Wireless communication is now possible. Unfortunately, there's a 40 minute lag time between Mars and Earth, even with radiowaves traveling at the speed of light, so I guess instant messaging is right out.

How did we survive before?
Perhaps each world will have its own net. With massive terabyte updates of information as often as they can.

unless we beat the speed of light - or warp space - we will have communications witha heck of a long time in gaps waiting for a reply.
