Powerpoint is really evil...

I agree with the author in this article because I for one have never enjoyed making powerpoint slides. My problem with powerpoint is that it is to simple for me. I always think to complex into things or just enough but never enough to fit it on a slide, "especially if I have to put clipart in there." I feel like powerpoint is to simplistic that people who need to present or speak on a very in depth topic would have big problems using powerpoint efficiently. I have always preferred projector presentations and speakers because it forces them to take notes in a way that people can take notes from the notes they have taken. I know it sounds confusing but what I am trying to say is that people who write down notes for a projector have also read the material and either memorized it or learend it to where they could present it without slides. In conclusion powerpoint is to simplistic.

    Yes, a bit - but I see what you're getting at. So you feel like power point is often a crutch for people that don't really know what they're talking about?
