how the internets work
I’m going to shamelessly steal something from Einstein and contort it to serve my own self-aggrandizing purposes. Since he’s dead, I don’t think he’ll mind. Even if he weren’t dead… I think I could still kick his ass.
You see, the internets is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. This is how you get ones and zeros. Squeeze/meow = one. No squeeze/no meow = zero. Do you understand this? And WiFi operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.
That is all.
