PowerPoint may be pointless

From The Week: "The problems with PowerPoint are numerous: It puts the standard for communication at the lowest possible common denominator. It is wholly unnecessary and makes it hard to express any complex thoughts. And because most people don't have taste, most PowerPoint presentations are ugly. People can rarely pay attention to two things at once, so they typically read your PowerPoint presentation as they listen to you, and actually pay attention to neither. This is made even worse if your deck is just a readout of the things you're about to say."
