Power Point Is Evil

Edward Tufte has a good and understandable argument. I agree with some of it and disagree with some of it as well. Power Points are usually extremely boring and this makes them ineffective because no one pays attention because of they are too bored too care. I think Power Point is good for an outline of your presentation, little things can help you remember your points but still Power Point isn't effective to your audience, it can only help you, so there really isn't a point to making a Power Point when you could have note cards or a small outline. It is just a boring and overrated program. I know that whenever I see someone using a Power Point presentation I automatically assume the worst and this causes me to not really pay attention or care what is going on during it. I think this is almost how everyone feels when they see someone is using Power Point for their presentation.
