Dumping PowerPoint
Robert Middleton over at the Action Plan Marketing Blog just posted a great entry on why you should stop using PowerPoint.
Best quote from the post? Robert tried to explain one of the reasons people use the PPT crutch:
"Sure you'll bore everyone to death, but you won't look bad doing it."
His primary point of the article is that a presentation needs to be dynamic, engaging, entertaining, and exciting. If it's not -- PowerPoint isn't going to save you, or make your audience feel any more involved.
If anything, dimming the lights for your silly slideshow will simply make it easier for them to slip into a coma.
