My ex-boss used to have me spend hours of doing Powerpoint because he claimed to be a "visual learner". I always theorized that this sounded like a load of BS. My theory was that he was just too lazy or ADD to actually sit down and read and comprehend things. If you haven't seen Edward Tufte's writings about PowerPoint[1] yet, you should. A funny take on what's wrong with PowerPoint is Peter Norvig's online essay about the PowerPoint version of the Gettysburg Address.[2] [1] https://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/powerpoint https://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/powerpoint https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0001yB https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=... https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0002PP https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=...
