Seth Dickens - www.digitalang.com
There’s a Yale professor, Edward Tufte, who
wrote a whole book about how the
presentations we give are fundamentally
flawed. He explains how the mass of facts,
figures and information up on the screen
actually detract attention from what the
presenter is saying.
He goes on to mention many of the worst faults
of presenters who use PowerPoint.
Ummmmmm……
Faults like reading out every single word on
their ever so verbose slides.
