Power Point is Evil!

I would have to agree with Tufte’s side of the story. I believe that Power Point is not the best way of getting material into the public. Personally, I think that Power Point is a very boring way to present a certain topic. This might just be my opinion, but I would much rather do something hands on than sit and look at slides on a Power Point. I do believe that in a business setting it is one of the best ways to get your point across, but even then I think that it would be much better to make a poster or something bigger. This way you can interact more with the presentation than sitting at a computer changing slides. I believe that this affects audience interpretation in a negative way. Like I said, I think that Power Point is a boring way to get the information across to the audience. I believe that if you do something that is hands on, the audience is going to remember what you talked about. If you are just looking at a slide every five minutes, it is going to be harder to remember what was talked about.
