POWERPOINT

I agree and disagree with Tufte's argument. He says that there is little information and what not but sometimes charts and seeing the real information can really help someone see what you are talking about. It does take a lot more slides to tell all the information that you could just write in a paper but honestly who doesn't want to see it on a PowerPoint. Visual is more interesting and you can see the information first hand. Sometimes little information is better because you don't want to bore who you are writing to. In other cases more information is better and you cant just jot everything down on a slide that would defeat the purpose of doing the PowerPoint. Whether or not doing a PowerPoint depends really on what you are doing the project or research on, so it could go either way. Power points could affect the way people see the information because it is way easy to make something look better that way and you don't have to put all the facts down about what you are talking about. So it's more of a persuasive thing.
