I have basic understanding of hardware. I get wifi, kind of… But like, shouldn’t there be cables in the ocean to connect our continents? But that’s so stupid. How is it done?

You’re correct!
It’s actually all quite impressive, check out the below interactive under sea cable map [here](https://www.submarinecablemap.com/).
Edit: Interestingly, most cables are owned by many telecommunications companies at each end, however, there are some owned by single parties e.g Google!
Edit 2: There are stats on each cable including date laid, ownership, length etc
