The application of humanities disciplines to the internet as a cultural and historical artifact. It examines the internet’s intellectual genealogy (from military research to counterculture to commercial sphere), its representation in literature and art, its impact on concepts of authorship and intellectual property, and the ethical frameworks emerging from networked life. It treats the internet as a text, a set of practices, and a space for meaning-making that requires interpretation, not just measurement.
*Example: “Her dissertation used human sciences applied to the internet to analyze how early internet utopianism—once celebrated as liberatory—became the ideological foundation for surveillance capitalism, showing the continuity between 1990s rhetoric and present-day platform power.”*

Get the Human Sciences Applied to the Internet mug.A field that studies how human cognition interacts with the internet’s technical features: hyperlinks, search engines, multitasking environments, algorithmic recommendations. It investigates how the internet changes the way we think—distributed cognition, the Google effect on memory, the impact of constant interruptions on sustained attention, and the cognitive cost of navigating digital interfaces. It provides evidence for how the internet reshapes mental habits, both enabling and constraining thought.
Example: “Cognitive sciences applied to the internet revealed that relying on search engines changes how we remember: we recall where to find information rather than the information itself, outsourcing memory to the network.”

A cynical observation that, on social media and internet platforms, the official record of events—who was banned, what content was removed, what narratives are preserved—is controlled not by users but by those with power to delete, edit, and conceal. Moderators and administrators can erase evidence of their own abuses, fabricate justifications for bans, and shape community memory to favor their clique. The phrase warns that appeals to “the record” or “what really happened” are futile when those who control the record are the same people who caused the harm.
“History on Social Media and on the Internet is written by Moderators and Administrators.” Example: “When she tried to appeal her ban with screenshots, the mods deleted the evidence threads and said ‘we have no record of any harassment.’ History on social media is written by moderators and administrators.”

Mr. Vain, Rush
You took my love, I thought I was the only one
You took my love, it feels like you did it for fun
You took my love, but my heart keeps telling me you're the one
You took my love, took my love
Loquita, I don't play, you know what time it is with me
You want my heart, you got to work
And show me that you'd ride it there for me
I can see right through your eyes, and I know what you tryin' to do
You tryin' to rob, steal, take my love, well fuck you
Take my love, ha ha, not a woman on earth that can do that
Say what, I don't know where you from, or where you been at
I'm letting you know what's up, and if you don't play by the rules
Oh baby, you get cut, I talked so much, you took my love
You took my love, I thought I was the only one
You took my love, it feels like you did it for fun
You took my love, but my heart keeps telling me you're the one
You took my love, took my love
Yaoh, I'm in the club, and the place is poppin'
Sip-sippin' bub and the bass is knockin'
Times are great, 'cause I'm with my crew
But my smile is fake, 'cause I'm missing you
Baby you know that I didn't learn my lesson
