PowerPoint is the Devil!
PowerPoint is the Devil!
And no, it's not the a cute little daemon like this:
For me, Lisp hacker Peter Norvig sums up why in PowerPoint: shot with its own bullets:
Imagine a world with almost no pronouns or punctuation. A world where any complex thought must be broken into seven- word chunks, with colorful blobs between them. It sounds like the futuristic dystopia of Kurt Vonnegut's short story Harrison Bergeron, in which intelligent citizens receive ear-splitting broadcasts over headsets so that they cannot gain an unfair advantage over their less intelligent peers. But this world is no fiction--it is the present-day reality of a PowerPoint presentation, a reality that is repeated an estimated 30 million times a day.
Spread the word.
