The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint: Pitching Out Corrupts Within
RES P 93.5T838 2006
In corporate and government bureaucracies, the standard method for making a presentation is to talk about a list of points organized onto slides projected up on the wall. For many years, overhead projectors lit up transparencies, and slide projectors showed high-resolution 35mm slides. Now "slideware" computer programs for presentations are nearly everywhere. Early in the 21st century, several hundred million copies of Microsoft PowerPoint were turning out trillions of slides each year. What is the problem with PowerPoint? And how can we improve our presentations?
