I\u2019m getting tired of PowerPoint slides. \u00a0So are a lot of people.<\/p>\n
Why? They are another tool that\u2019s controlling us.<\/p>\n
They are excruciatingly predictable.<\/p>\n
We tend to use the slides as speaker prompts, not as aids to the audience.<\/p>\n
An abundance of slides actually communicates the speaker\u2019s insecurity.<\/p>\n
We devote too much of our preparation time to tweaking the slides and therefore have yet another excuse not to rehearse.<\/p>\n
Speakers turn away from the audience to read slides (and the audience can read faster than the speaker can talk).<\/p>\n
Slides give the audience another place to look, instead of at the speaker.<\/p>\n
Slides turn the speaker\u2019s thoughts into bullet points and make his or her speech mechanical and predictable.<\/p>\n
Finally, slides tend to divert the speaker from meaning to information.<\/p>\n
Visual displays can be useful, but clear thinking and a forceful argument are far more important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
