yeah look at this - this way

your brain is a computer, it has a hard drive, some ram, some input
devices...

your mind is your highspeed t1 connection

all information that enters your mind comes from the internet
(the universe, God)

you can also load stuff in your brain without using the internet, ie
education, books, interaction with others which is analgous to CD roms,
disks etc.
