After reading PowerPoint is Evil and reviewing the Abraham Lincoln powerpoint I feel the point of those two readings was to show us how not to make a PowerPoint. The Lincoln slides were awful! It’s a very familiar set of slides that I’ve seen a million times and tend to make me stop paying attention to the speaker. I’m sure I’ve even made slides eerily similar to “Lincoln’s”. The biggest problem I saw with the slides was the fact that there was nothing relevant on the presentation. I would have gotten more just by listening to the speaker. In fact, the presentation would have been more of a distraction to me if it were actually presented. It could have even been worse and forced me to ignore the presentation altogether.
