Wired 11.09: PowerPoint Is Evil

I despise, loathe and abhor "presenters" who flash PowerPoint slides up on a screen and then proceed to read the damn things. I have openly walked out of such "presentations" and will continue to do so, happy to avoid wasting My time.

Solution: Look at Tom Peters' presentations or even Stephen Colbert's "The Word" segments. They both use slides to augment well-prepared material, not as crutches that treat the audience like idiots. Well-prepared presentations and respecting the audience: Those go hand-in-hand, you know.
