Power Point Is evil
I personally do not like this article and I feel that this is totally bias. I do not agree with anything that he portrays. I feel that power points are brilliant and it gets information across better than the traditional projector style. Its colorful and its interesting. For example my psycology professor uses powerpoints with her lectures. I can obtain the information better and psycology becomes easier to understand. It's 2010 come on now. The writer is acting like he is stuck in the old days or something. He makes it sound like power point is taking over and I dont think that it is, or ever will. Power point is simply just another means of getting information across. Power points makes boring information interesting and easier to pay attention to. Its modern and the world is changing everyday, so there is nothing nobody can do about it. I wouldnt exactly say that its the only brilliant means of getting information across but there is nothiong wrong with it. Powerpoint is brilliant when necesary.

It is absolutely biased, Tiff - most writing is biased, even the stuff that pretends not to be : )
ReplyDeleteI don't think Tufte is claiming to provide some sort of objective, neutral stance here - the title alone reflects that this is his OPINION - it's an argumentative piece.
That said, I think he is too hard on PPoint for many of the reasons you mention...
