Human: Can you explain how the Internet works? Assistant: 
The Internet is a global network of networks that connects computers and other devices across the world. It works by transmitting data in the form of packets between computers and other connected devices using a variety of technologies like cables, fiber optics, wireless connections, and satellites. The data is routed by a series of routers through different networks to the intended destination. The packets of data arriving at the destination are then converted back into the desired format and reassembled so the user can make use of the transmitted information.
