Between the military, public school committees, and working for the government, I've been both "killed" and, less frequently, revived by PowerPoints, as have hundreds of my colleagues in each setting. As usual, you've eloquently expressed something we all think but can't quite say. PowerPoint is a tool. Like any other, it can be used for both good and evil. Your short, sweet, entertaining summation will be in the back of my mind henceforth whenever I click on that dumb icon to create yet another presentation. Oh, and thanks for reminding us that in spite of the slide show, we still have some responsibilities as public speakers. Here! Here!
