death by PowerPoint
Bad slides don't help
Don't read this slide. There is nothing on this slide of importance.
At this very moment I am trying to make rather interesting point about something
or other.
Are you still reading this.
Have you looked out the window today there is a world of things out there.
Did you know that if you are reading this you are not listening to what I am
discussing.
I might as well have printed this out for you and used a lovely image, you still have
all the information but that way you care.
Look I told you to stop reading this it really is utter drivel.
Hum hum hum lunch time soon. I have some cheese and pickle sandwich's.
I wonder when I can next get coffee.
I hope you will take something away from todays session
Really stop reading this you can read faster than I can speak
Put your arm in the air if your reading this drivel.
Hopefully that made the point.
Tell you what I will shut up and give you a chance to read this.
Or not.
A good slide makes a point

Do you need to use slides at all?
