PowerPoint is Evil

While reading the article PowerPoint is Evil, by Edward Tufte, I laughed out loud several times! Tufte is so right on that he couldn’t possibly have hit the nail any more on the head than he did.

I reflected upon recent presentations and training sessions I have been to that involved PowerPoint® presentations. I can honestly say that I remember very little of the presentations, but could accurately judge the quality of the slides that were presented! It is a sad state of public speaking today that the audience need not hear the speech, only witness the “great slides.�

From now forward, I will always refer to this article before using a PowerPoint® presentation! You can’t call me Stalin!

PowerPoint® is a registered trademark of the Microsoft Corporation and I have used it without any authorization from Bill Gates or any representative of Microsoft.
