p.p.i.e.

Tufte, throughout the whole reading, makes valid points and most of what he says, I agree with, however, he is overreacting. Yes, the images that bounce around can sometimes be irrelevant, and yes, because so little information can be put on one slide that there sometimes has to be a large amount of individual slides, but in general, I think they are a very productive way to present information. Power point presentations are easy to watch, can be entertaining, and typically pleasing to look at, therefore, people follow along easily. Also, I am a visual learner so I can remember things easier if there are visuals along with the points on the slides.
