I’ve been working on a talk and have seen the wisdom of chucking out the traditional bulleted Powerpoint list in favor of a completely visual (read: all pictures) presentation. For the last decade, Edward Tufte has complained PowerPoint’s density of information is so low, its only media analog is Soviet propaganda. Me? I just want the audience to fall asleep less. And since we gave a webinar on how to write a good presentation, I’m taking some of my own advice. After all, if this blog were a PowerPoint entry, it would read as follows:
- Working on a talk; how best to write?
- PowerPoint tradition = bulleted lists
- But… low density of information
- Tufte says, “Soviet Propaganda!”
- Want people to stay awake
- Taking own advice
So from here on out: PowerPoint Perestroika!
