wireless communication. How does the signal know where to go? How is data transmitted through air?

Just like with sound, wireless (or radio) goes in all directions (like a donut). Radio waves are essentially light, but way below what is visible to us.
Note that it is possible to focus or direct radio waves. This was done with the “rake” antennae for old school television, dishes for satellite, and MIMO in WiFi.
