Power Point is Evil??

i do nt agree with Tufte's arguments about power point at all. Power point itself can nt be considered evil simply bcuz I feel it helps out a great deal to the audience. Power Points affect the audience interpretation in the since that it makes the presentation easier to understand. Rather than having someone stand in front of you reading a hand written presentation off paper. It is easier to keep the attention of those you are trying to inform. Pictures are always fun to look at and they my help to emphasize the idea behind the message you are trying to relay.

I do nt agree with teaching elementary school children have to use power point. Simply because I feel tht one should have mastered the skill of essay writing before hand. To me Power Points should only be used to enhance writings, nt totally replace them. Say you hav written a book and hav been invited to show a pre-screening of your writing. Well if your book is 350 pages long, no one is going to want to sit around and listen to you read it. Instead you could make a power point stating keep points n plot lines in the book.
