I hate PowerPoint

By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Aug 28, 2012

Do you share my distaste for PowerPoint presentations?

Do you share my distaste for PowerPoint presentations?

(Do you share my distaste for PowerPoint presentations?)

Here’s my complaint.

Here’s my complaint.

(Here’s my complaint.)

The fellow doing the presentation

The fellow doing the presentation

(The fellow doing the presentation)

Generally provides a handout

Generally provides a handout

(Generally provides a handout)

Then he shows each page of the presentation on the screen

Then he shows each page of the presentation on the screen

(Then he shows each page of the presentation on the screen)

And he reads every word on each page aloud.

And he reads every word on each page aloud.

(And he reads every word on each page aloud. )

So you read each word on the handout,

So you read each word on the handout

(So you read each word on the handout,)

Read it again on the screen,

Read it again on the screen,

(Read it again on the screen,)

And hear it in the oral presentation.

And hear it in the oral presentation.

(And hear it in the oral presentation.)

Every word.

Every word.

(Every word.)

THREE TIMES!

THREE TIMES!

(THREE TIMES!)

Just send me the memo, please.

Thanks.
