PowerPoint makes you dumb.
12/15/2003 11:40 AM PowerPoint makes you
dumb. This is something I've suspected for a long time. It's been
reported in the NY Times, so it
must be true. I will now blame
every stupid thing I've said or done in the last three years on
Microsoft.

Coffee on PowerPoint
12/15/2003 08:12 AMPeter Coffee in eWeek meditates on what PowerPoint is doing to us. He
begins with Edward Tufte's piece on how PowerPoint misled the
assessment of the risk to the shuttle Columbia. Peter writes: Bad
presentations result from people learning to write with a model of
"topic sentence, body, conclusion," instead of a journalistic model of
"lead (conclusion), significance, supporting details." Peter says that
although media "don't just transmit facts; they alter both selection
and emphasis, creating different realities in the process," PowerPoint
isn't solely to blame for the bad presentations done with it. In fact,
he says, PowerPoint helps you...
The PowerPoint Mythology
The PowerPoint Mythology
04/09/2004 04:12 PMI spent yesterday consulting with a company whose salesforce is having
trouble explaining exactly what its software does, a common problem
with enterprise applications since software tends towards
functionality sprawl in ways that, say, refrigerators and asphalt
don't. Not to mention that this company's software is genuinely
innovative. The company's impulse is to address this need in the usual
way: Build a PowerPoint "deck" (sorry, "deck" instead of "slide set"
still sounds unnatural to me) with the sort of corporate overview
appropriate for an industry analyst. But, the deck a salesperson needs
is, of course, quite different. The rep isn't...

There

Even though, by
some measures, I've had a fairly hard life, there are times when I
look back and realize, "I've only ever had to make, like, one
Powerpoint presentation, and that was about sharks." And thank god for
that, because in my mind there is a tireless army of besuited
executives flying around the globe giving Powerpoint presentations to
each other, and as appealing as that may be, my two or three Red Roof
Inn stays a year are plenty, thanks. But to this mythical corporate
army, I imagine tools like the PageShot, a "portable presentation
gizmo" that fits in the pocket and hooks up to any NTSC or PAL
television (or projector) plus doubles as an MP3 player would
be the sort of wundergadget that, say, a videogaming cameraphone with
GPS and lasersword would be to me.
And yes, I use 'Powerpoint' in the Kleenex sense.

Companies Understand Themselves By
Powerpoint
04/09/2004 05:29 PMWhile there are some who still believe
Powerpo
int is evil, it's become a standard necessity in every day
business life. In fact, David Weinberger suggests that
Powerpoint is how companies understand themselves.
It's replaced the company story and has become "the company myth," so
that employees themselves can understand the organization they belong
to. Even in creating a sales pitch, companies focus on creating the
Powerpoint slides - mostly because it reinforces their own
understanding of the company they work for. While there are both good
and bad results that come out of this, I think it's also a statement
on corporate culture. Who gets to write the official version? While
you can make changes on your own, you tend to leave the corporate
story alone. While I'm not sure it's for everyone, I'd think that
more "bottom up" style corporations would be better off using
something like a wiki to define the corporate story. If you're
building a story around the corporate culture, shouldn't those
participating be a part of writing the story as well?

you to use on all of your presentations! I am not making this up.

Joey "AccordionGuy" DeVilla has posted a rumination on how we got to
the point where it is socially acceptable to break up with someone by
email. He concludes that it's a natural outgrowth of "PowerPoint
culture": "I think that the 'Dear Jane' emails that those people
received were inspired by elements of office culture: PowerPoint,
project post-mortems and annual performance reviews. Of the people who
told me that they were dumped via email, all of their boyfriends
worked white-collar jobs in which they either sat through or made
PowerPoint presentations."

05/19/2004 11:45 PMIf you have a PC that runs an older version of Windows, you don't have
the built-in slide-show software available to XP users. But there
could well be another sophisticated slide-show program on your
computer: PowerPoint. While Powerpoint is commonly thought of as a
business tool used to display mundane graphics like sales charts, it
works quite well for showing off photos. And millions of people
already own the software because it was bundled into their versions of
Microsoft Office.
David Byrne loves PowerPoint
David Byrne loves PowerPoint
12/02/2003 11:07 AMThis Thursday in LA, Wired Magazine is teaming up with the LA County
Museum of Art to produce
a
performance by
David
Byrne called "I [Heart] Powerpoint." I'll be there, and if there's
Wi-Fi, goshdarnit I'll blog it.
[His] most recent project is Envisioning Emotional Epistemological
Information, a book of artwork [and DVD] done with the ubiquitous
presentation software PowerPoint. "I have been working with PowerPoint
as an art medium for a number of years. It started off as a joke (this
software is a symbol of corporate salesmanship--or lack thereof), but
then the work took on a life of its own as I realized I could create
pieces that were moving, despite the limitations of the 'medium'."
