Next year, we can get Powerpoint drunk…

Posted by Paul on June 21, 2007

PowerPoint turned 20 yesterday, triggering a couple of laps around the blogosphere for the old “Tufte vs. hapless speakers everywhere” debate. A couple of interesting articles included one focused on its founders (here at wsj.com; h/t Freakonomics) and another that sent me towards a couple of older posts by the likes of Seth Godin and Guy Kawasaki on how to use it without sucking. (I mean, “eat protein”… now that’s advice you probably wouldn’t have come up with on your own.)

Still, in a perfect world, PowerPoint would only be used for karaoke.
