If anything, Powerpoint, if used well, would ideally reflect the way we think.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you like overheads, you'll love PowerPoint.
I work intentionally to try and make dense, complex things. We can move between genres and forms, from something that looks like a PowerPoint lecture to something that looks like an informercial to something that looks like a cinematic melodrama.
PowerPoint may not be of any use for you in a presentation, but it may liberate you in another way, an artistic way. Who knows.
A location-aware tablet will let us use what's called geodesign to compose participatory, what-if scenarios onsite, using maps that several people can share - something we could always do with paper but that's been a challenge with digital maps in the field.
There's not a lot of art forms where you can control your presentation and your ideas.
I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
Most people who are on the inside of a technology have no idea what it's like to look at from an end user's point of view. This is why they have focus groups. I'm really familiar with this because I worked 10 years for Hallmark Cards in the U.S.
I like giving the audience a lot of stuff to look at, and rewards for repeated viewings and paying attention.
Personally, I find visualisations great for helping me understand the world and for sifting the huge amounts of information that deluge me every day.
PowerPoint makes us stupid.
