Powerpoint is Evil (BG)

I personally dont agree with Tufte's argument but at the same time i get why he would think that powerpoints are turning speeches and reports in a sales pitch. when i was taught how to put together a power point, i didnt feel like it was a sounding like a sales pitch. I was taught tha tit was supose to be an outline to help you in your speech or report if you got stuck you could refer to it. i can see where Tufte would think that powerpoints are evil and can turn speeches or reports into a sales pitch. Powerpoints are used by companies to try and sale something to a buyer. and with technology taking over, powerpoints are used for so much more. In the end i guess if i have to make a choice on if i agree or not with Tufte, i would have to say i dont agree. I think that its how you present the information and how you say it that makes it seem like a sales pitch or not. I dont think powerpoints are evil, i think that they are very helpful. Powerpoints dont always have to be busy or packed with information, it could be as simple as a list of bullet points and a picture relating to the topic. I think it all depends on alot of other things other than just the fact you are using a powerpoint alone.
