Power Point

Power Point can be a very useful application to present a large amount of information in a condensed form. While it is a great tool, many people cannot properly convey the information in a way that is not boring to the audience. Ever have to sit through a powerpoint that's not interactive, the person is reading every slide (like we can't do it ourselves...), and every slide is white with black text? Yeah, I've sat through a few of those. Another thing that is annoying are the text, flashing photos, and sounds. They can completeley trash a good presentation and distract the audience. Power Points need variety, but it should be done in moderation. Also, why do people give handouts of the presentation before giving it? Why would we even pay attention to it when we can flip through the handout and finish it 30 minutes quicker? Just a thought...
