Do Powerpoint Right

As I've observed before, people can use powerpoint badly. Reading what's on the slide, duplicating streams of information and making a bad presentation worse.

Of course, as with email, it's not a problem with the tool, but with the people that use it.

If you do it right, powerpoint lets you make a presentation better. Show images you couldn't convey with hand waving. You just have to do it right. And leave the screen behind when you don't need it.
