powerpoint is evil (kyle)

I agree with everything that is said. I totally understand where he is coming from when he talks about how kids are being taught to make powerpoints containing so many fewer words than writing an essay on a given topic. Power points often give to many visuals and to little information which takes away a lot from what is trying to be said. This is less effiecent because you have to make so many more powerpoints to equal the same amount of information as if you had given an essay or bulleted facts. Plus the time needed to change slides also effects how the speech flows to the audience. I also could see how powerpoint would distract an audience from what is being said because of the visual detail that many put into a powerpoint.
