Microsoft PowerPoint is a widely used presentation program that allows users to create media-rich slideshows to effectively illustrate ideas using multimedia. PowerPoint was created in 1987 and initially only available on Macintosh before being acquired by Microsoft and released for Windows. It has become the standard presentation software used in business, education, and other fields due to its ability to control slide flow and pacing.

8. A presentation conveys information from a speaker to an audience. They are
typically demonstrations, lectures or speeches meant to persuade, inspire,
motivate, or present a new idea or a product , and to accomplish the same a
medium is essential.
Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program which uses slides to
convey information rich in multimedia and is used to create complex business
presentations, simple educational outlines and much more.
It is a software, in which the presenter has the liberty to de
fi
ne the pace by
controlling the
fl
ow manually or having the slide swap at preset intervals,
which may also be different for each slide.
This feature was initially available only on powerpoint , until recently, which
makes the software stand out from its peers ( such as google slides, keynote,
etc.)
It was also the
fi
rst software to introduce video output of virtual slideshows to
digital projectors, which would over time completely replace physical
transparencies and slides.
Powerpoint was created by Robert Gaskins and Dennis Austin[6] at a software
company named Forethought, Inc. in 1987.
It was initially released for Macintosh computers only until Microsoft acquired
PowerPoint by the late 1980s, and released a windows version by 1992.
To ensure it’s worldwide patraonage , Microsoft released the software in 102
different languages.
PowerPoint was originally designed to provide visuals for group presentations
within business organisations, but has come to be very widely used in many
other communication situations, both in business and beyond.
While it was becoming dominant in business settings it was also used in
many situations, well beyond its original purpose, to include teaching in
schools[105] and in universities(and preparing their related poster
sessions[108]), driving helmet-mounted displays in spacesuits for NASA
astronauts,[112] giving military brie
fi
ngs,[113] issuing governmental reports,
[114] undertaking diplomatic negotiations, writing novels, and even as a
substitute for writing engineering technical reports,[122] and as an organizing
tool for writing general business documents.

9. As the uses broadened, PowerPoint grew and commentary about it began to
appear.
Powerpoint has been a trendsetter ever since it was
fi
rst launched in 1987,
and has been critically acclaimed by major cooperations like apple, google ,
alphabet inc, etc.
It quickly gained popularity amongst cooperate workers and businessmen.
Till date Powerpoint has maintained it’s reputation through various upgrades
in the software , which makes any user reluctant to use or try any other
presentation means.
