Power Point

I agree and disagree with Tufte's arguments. For younger children I feel that it is more important to read and write rather then type ten words on a slide an move on. Reading and writing is something children are going to have to do everyday so they should master the skills at a younger age. They should learn Power Point later on in the future. However, for business people Power Point is great tool. Giving presentations is made easier and more efficient. The main topics are focused on rather then every minor detail. I would not go as far as saying Power Point is evil because it can be a good tool when used at the proper time. Therefore, the audience interpretation for Power Point during a presentation or a project for older people such as high schoolers and business men/women is more positive than for younger kinds using the program.

  1. Probably better for older students and business persons than kids, yes. Although the capacity to produce pictures gives kids something else to look at...?
