extremely weird to think about the fact that the internet is a collection of physical objects, like, if i send a message to a person on another continent, there's a continuous physical path that each packet followed between each of our routers and it probably passes through an undersea cable which doesn't feel like something that should be real how did people manage that
also dynamic routing algorithms are kinda amazing like, you don't even have to tell the computer where things are it just figures it out from talking to other computers?? it just automatically figures out where the entire internet relative to it is??? huh????
