Power Pont is Evil
I think that Tufte is completely wrong and very unprofessional in his arguement. I feel that Power Point is a great way to help audience members feel part of the presentation. Many people are more of a visual learner than an audio learner. Some people understand the message better if it is written in front of them instead of them being told the information. He says that it is slide after slide, well that is why it is called a slide show. It helps the audience keep track with what the speaker is saying. Tufte says that in grade schools that kids often write slides with a few words and a picture from clip art. These kids are learning how to use Power Point and the many tools and options that help to make a slide. he aks like these kids are going to be making slides like this all their life. I also think that Tufte is unprofessional in his arguement against Power Point. I believe that it is extremely inappropriate to use curse words in an argument such as this.

Wow...not a fan of Tufte's argument OR his approach, I see.
ReplyDeleteHe definitely cherry-picks his angle here, and he overlooks some of the positive aspects of Power Point in his haste to decry it.
