yes it is remarkably routed just like a human brain. However the internet has no cognitive skills, Yet.
It works a lot like our brain, just missing a few parts.

Sure it does. If you consider the human itself is a part of that system. The internet is an extension of our own mind.
Search engines can adapt web pages to user needs. These hyperlinks bear a remarkable resemblance to the human brain. Synapses that connect neurons become stronger with repeated use, and disappear when usage declines. Similarly, global brain’s algorithms will reinforce popular links, while rarely used links will diminish and die.

Mycelium has also been known to stretch vast distances relative to its size and send information to and fro through its web, more nutrients here or less nutrients there etc.
All information will come in by superrealistic television and other electronic devices as yet in the planning stage or barely imagined. In one way this will enable the individual to extend himself anywhere without moving his body—even to distant regions of space. But this will be a new kind of individual—an individual with a colossal external nervous system reaching out and out into infinity. And this electronic nervous system will be so interconnected that all individuals plugged in will tend to share the same thoughts, the same feelings, and the same experiences. There may be specialized types, just as there are specialized cells and organs in our bodies. For the tendency will be for all individuals to coalesce into a single bioelectronic body.
