Help stop PowerPoint abuse

If you work with PointPoint or similar slideware software (e.g. Impress from OpenOffice) please read these articles to help stop abusing your audience and enhance your communicability by expressing your information better.

First Five Ways to Reduce PowerPoint Overload by Cliff Atkinson and Richard E. Mayer.

Next, Edward Tufte's essay on PointPoint is available from him in a booklet format, or you can at least read an excerpt from it. There is an article from Wired Magazine (Sept 2003) that is also available, PowerPoint Is Evil.

Just think how much more effective and popular you can be if your presentations are shorter and clearer. And think of your audience's endless gratitude.
