About the show
This show gives you practical strategies you can implement for better human to human communication within the modern digital landscape, which includes a (partially) dead internet.
From educating in an authentic, engaged way to producing your own work efficiently for an audience, it's possible to stand out in the era of mass produced content online when you have a strategy. As a human, just as you are. Performance meets authenticity when you bring more YOU to your audience.
What is the "Human Internet Theory"
Jen deHaan coined the term Human Internet Theory in summer of 2025 to represent the idea that human-made creations (writing, visuals, videos, music, and more) should be an important part of the internet. That removing artists and creators from prominence online, the "dead internet theory", is a problem that needs to be addressed with the "human internet theory". Even for AI learning, training and use - otherwise, AI could very well end up eating its own tail in an internet primarily in use by automation and bots.
This theory suggests that connection, ideas, and iterating our way to new creative endeavours is essential to have an internet that remains worth using.
We wanted AI to do the laundry, right? Not the art...
