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.

Computers and the internet are only as smart as the information put on them. The fact you can get all the information you want isn’t indicative of a smart computer, but rather smart people putting things on computers, which at the end of the day are just machines that process information.
Or in other words, computers are just kinda dumb, they do what’s asked of them and not much else, but you can tell them to get information on a topic which was either made by someone else, or by another computer told to write or make something.
