An Unnecessary Wall
I completely share Nicholas Bate's cogent concerns about PowerPoint.
It is a debilitating device that creates a rigid barrier between the presenter and the audience.
Long-time readers of this blog will know my preference for flip charts and overhead projectors. [I love those old projectors with the acetate roll that you can crank whenever a new page is needed.]
Both of those facilitate spontaneity and conversation.
With PowerPoint, the fancier it gets, the worse it is.
Nicholas is Old School with all of the virtues that implies and it's great to hear that we can expect another book from him in September.
