I used to think that the best presentations are those where the slides are text only and the speaker just reads the text out aloud. Just repeating the text of the slides verbatim Because then I can download the slides at home, read them for myself, and do not miss anything. If the speaker would say anything important that is not written on the slides, I would actually have to go to the presentation, and am annoyed when they talk too slowly and angry that I cannot stay home. Although my perspective is changing. Now I have glasses and cannot read as fast as I used to. And nowadays there are HD video recordings. With a video recording it does not matter how the presentation is done. In any case I could stay home and watch the recording at 2x speed
