In this podcast, "Imagine a future with no Internet," by Dr Jan Jervis, PhD, her two AI hosts invite you to engage in a thought experiment and consider the profound transition our world is experiencing that is not just technological, but also human and energetic.

Jan's central premise explores how the disappearance of the Internet would redefine human work, the tools we use, and what we value as a society. Her work explores the surprising notion that some AI systems, specifically "On-Device AI" or "Edge AI" and "Custom AI Installations," can still function offline, whereas most widely used cloud-based AI systems cannot.

Ultimately, Jan suggests a world without the Internet could see a decisive shift towards more "human-first experiences" and human community networks. It would emphasise the renewed importance of timeless human skills, such as design literacy, creative thinking, emotional intelligence, storytelling, and sensemaking, for survival and thriving.

Jan Jervis prompts us to consider how we would integrate the wisdom gained from the digital age into this new reality, rather than simply reverting to a pre-Internet past. Read the blog post here: https://janjervis.com.au/future-with-no-internet/
