Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think that creating new tools to fix the apparent problem is missing the point. the point is: public speaking isn't nowhere near the comfort zone of most people – which is fine. it's something that can be trained and developed, and once that process is complete, most people suddenly stop trying to hide behind a story-telling set of superboring slides and start giving great presentations.
- nchlswu 15y agoYou're 100% correct. PowerPoint just amplified the symptoms of what's wrong with presentations (corporate, academic or otherwise). People started to shift their focus to things that didn't matter as much (the slide deck) and deviate from the content. These same problems will occur no matter what new presentation tools are invented and will continue to be the same annoyance. At the same time, products like the Screen.io are providing tools to facilitate good aspects of presentations and these are types of tools that should be built.
