MODERATORS
Edward Tufte, of Information is Beautiful fame, generally advises AGAINST using PowerPoint for presentations largely because of the low information density. Powerpoint, generally, forces you to put a LOW amount of information on the screen which can really be a problem in some situations.
His advice: Create a Word doc and give that as a handout.
I asked a Zoomer to send me a PPT and he didn't know what I was talking about.
I call them pretty computer crayon drawings for management to feel special.... absolutely fuck all important is provided in a power point...I mean..."slide deck"
