In an era where the internet seems to have answers to every question, we must remember that true impact in a presentation doesn’t come from Google or ChatGPT; it comes from us. The internet is an incredible tool, but we shouldn’t let it overshadow our unique voices, perspectives, and expertise. When we present, the screen may be filled with slides and data pulled from the web, but our power lies in our ability to make that material come alive, to add meaning and context beyond what’s online.

Going “old school” in presentations means embodying our message with authenticity and confidence. Too often, we treat the internet like an oracle, constantly consulting it to validate our ideas. But we don’t need to rely so heavily on it—after all, knowledge flows through us as well. By being fully present and tapping into our own experiences and viewpoints, we can bring any subject to life in a way that no search engine can.

Think of the internet as a backstage resource, not the star of the show. Yes, it helps with information gathering and organization, but we’re the ones in the driver’s seat. We can captivate our audience by owning our power, by speaking directly to them, and by using eye contact, gestures, and tone to make the material resonate. When we blend our expertise with our personality, the presentation becomes more dynamic and memorable.

In a world overflowing with digital content, human connection and authentic delivery are more important than ever. So, let’s go hip by going old school: the internet can be a crutch, especially when we can carry on without it. Maybe without the internet, you feel like you're back to telling stories in a cave in front of a fire, but if you lose the internet mid-presentation, know that you can rely on your own mastery. When we take control, we shift from being just information relayers to becoming genuine communicators, connecting on a deeper level and delivering a message that’s powerful, personal, and unforgettable.
