The document criticizes overuse and misuse of PowerPoint presentations. It argues that PowerPoint is often used as a crutch by presenters to fill time without conveying essential information. Specific complaints include presentations with too many text-heavy slides, unnecessary clip art and logos, small font sizes, and printing out slides even when they are being projected. The document suggests PowerPoint hinders clear communication and wastes resources like paper and time that could be better spent.

3. “PowerPoint doesn't bore people; people bore people.” And so outlawing PowerPoint won't change anything. But you can see why I would blame PowerPoint:

4. “Of course it wasn’t convincing. That 60-slide PowerPoint wasn’t to convince people, it was to break their will.” A 2-hour meeting where the boss does all the talking from his prepared slides. How is that any different from how they brainwash new recruits into a cult?

24. “125 PowerPoint slides? Well, I hope you’re not presenting a case for how efficient our department is.” Managers got the idea that the more text you could put on a slide and the more total slides in the presentation, the better it was. That somehow it made you look smarter and more capable. But the truth is the more you cram into a presentation, the more it seems like you can't ever come to a point, and that you can't tell the wheat from the chaff.

25. “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t invent PowerPoint.”

26. “It only takes 4 slides to explain how an atomic bomb works, so please stop calling your 72 slides 'an overview'.” If all you're going to do is project the script you're reading from, then why don't you just let us read it to ourselves. It will be faster and we can do it from our desks.

27. “The creator of PowerPoint must be rolling over in his grave right about now. What? They’re not dead? I’ll be right back.”

28. “China may have a great economy now, but let’s see how they do when they get PowerPoint. This is our Trojan Horse. If we can get them to learn PowerPoint and give them a few buzzwords, their economy will be brought to its knees in no time! = +
