"Death by PowerPoint"[edit]
•
“Death by PowerPoint” is a criticism of slide-based presentations referring to a state of boredom and fatigue
induced by information overload during presentations such as those created by the Microsoft application
PowerPoint.
The phrase was first coined by Angela R. Garber.[14] Further criticisms of the cognitive effects of PowerPoint have
been expounded by others, for example, Edward Tufte (2006)[15]and Kalyuga et al. (1991).[16] Wright (2009)
suggests PowerPoint is a convenient prop for poor speakers, it can reduce complicated messages to simple bullet
points and it elevates style over substance; and that these three things contribute to its popularity. [17] It can also
be called “PowerPoint Poisoning”—a term originated by Scott Adams of Dilbert fame.
Some presenters opt to combine a PowerPoint presentation with the display of 'live' 2 or 3 dimensional materials
using a connected Visualizer. This switching between media can help to reduce the likelihood of 'Death by
PowerPoint' occurring during a presentation.[18][19][20]
Boredom[edit]
“PowerPoint hell” is the tedium some people report on sitting through PowerPoint visual presentations that are
too long and complex, making excessive use of the software’s features and when the presenter just reads from the
slides.[21][22][23][24]
Retired Marine Colonel Thomas X. Hammes says that this effect, which he calls “hypnotizing chickens”, is useful
when the goal is to avoid divulging information, as in military press briefings.[25]
Add-on tools like YawnBuster and PowerMockup try to help reduce boredom from PowerPoint presentations by
making them more interactive. A presenter can add interactivities to the presentation which increase the
audience involvement.[26]
Military excess[edit]
A “PowerPoint Ranger” is a military member who relies heavily on presentation software to the point of excess.
Some junior officers spend the majority of their time preparing PowerPoint slides. [27] Because of its usefulness for
presenting mission briefings, it has become part of the culture of the military,[25][28] but is regarded as a poor
decision-making tool.[29] As a result some generals, such as Brigadier-General Herbert McMaster, have banned the
use of PowerPoint in their operations.[27] In September 2010, Colonel Lawrence Sellin was fired from his post at
the ISAF for publishing a piece critical of the over-dependence of military staffs on the presentation method and
bloated bureaucracy.[30]

33. Et klassisk problem ved de ældre
udgave af PowerPoint
• Billeder i præsentationen mangler
• Det skyldes at billeder ikke automatisk bliver
”sammenkædet” med præsentation, dvs.
gemt i dokumentet
Løsning:
• Gøre sit forarbejde, gem ordentligt
• Bruge computeren som præsentationen er
lavet på
