We humans like to think we invented networking. Ethernet cables. Wi-Fi. The cloud ☁️. Social media 📱. The whole digital circus. But nature is sitting quietly in the background… smiling. 😊 Because forests built their own internet over 400 million years ago —and it still works better than ours in some ways.
