I'm helping a co-worker with a powerpoint presentation. Powerpoint may be the most communication-damaging software ever devised. 200 words, about 2 minutes worth of reading, can fill 10 slides and be doled out (read aloud) at a meeting for half an hour. This is from a presentation regarding how to evaluate employees and their skills:
Writing Skills
Measures an individual's ability write clearly and concisely and to deliver issues based reports.
from the same source:
Client Relations & Ownership
Measures an individual's: management of the client relationship through understanding the clients needs and expectations; and meeting/exceeding those needs and expectations.
To paraphrase the famous quote: PowerPoint corrupts absolutely.

4. I agree, Powerpoint is dreck, but this looks like a case of GIGO, too |

LOL! Powerpoint was just made for managers who want to feel self-important. It's an idiot program that lets them say, Look at me! I'm designing! I'm creating slides!! I'm communicating!!!

5. Like blaming the english language for Bushisms. |

PowerPoint allows people to make presentations. It does nothing to force them to make GOOD presentations. That's the users responsibility.

6. It keeps my students interested. |

Not in my presentations -- nothing could do that -- but in their own presentations. They really like to do them in power point. I grade 'em on content, but I think they actually produce better content for the presentations than they would with index cards.
