Title. Computers and the Internet are some of *the most important* things to come out of recent history almost *entirely* due to the fact that they can *give anyone any information they need*. But how does this happen? How the hell could something *made by humans be smarter than its creator*? It seems so fucking impossible for something to be smarter than its creator, but computers pull this off *every single time one’s created*. This pretty-deep question has seriously bugged me so hard that I’m having a bunch of strangers on the internet who know better than me answer this.
Also, please use less-technical terms that could be understood by a 13-year old, thanks.

Sorry to borrow from a reply of yours, but important point :
> But how does the internet virtually have all the information in the world
It’s important to know that the internet itself contains **nothing**. It’s just a really neat network of networks perfected by us humans.
When you think you are getting *on* the internet, you’re in fact letting your device *become* the internet.
You use programs on your device, to ask other devices for data, and it’s all done using the network that contains nothing.
