Power Point

I do not agree with Tufte's arguments about Power Point. I think that Power Point is a good and reliable program to make presentations for school or businesses. An argument that he makes is that there is barely any information for reading on each slide. Well, it is not intended to have a lot of information because it is supposed to show main points and be brief. Then, when you are giving the presentation you go into detail about each thing that wrote in each slide. For my school projects I have always liked to use Power Point because it is a lot easier to display information than to use something such as a poster board. The information you are providing can be seen to everyone since it will be on a big screen compared to little writing on a poster board. Although, in some cases it may be easier to display information in other ways, Power Point is commonly chosen because it makes everything a lot easier.

  1. Ease of use - you point out another benefit of Power Point. As far as technologies go, this one isn't terribly difficult to learn.
