How PowerPoint Degrades Decision Making

"Unfortunately, as soon as they graduate, our people return to a world driven by a tool that is the antithesis of thinking: PowerPoint. Make no mistake, PowerPoint is not a neutral tool — it is actively hostile to thoughtful decision-making. It has fundamentally changed our culture by altering the expectations of who makes decisions, what decisions they make and how they make them."

  1. Do yourself a favor and check out Ed Tufte's "The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint" for a sharp and funny analysis of why PPT rots our brains.
    I particularly enjoyed the Gettysburg Address as a deck.
