- potency 1y agoBut I don't wanna be the show. :(
- jimbokun 1y agoThen why are you giving a talk?
- admissionsguy 1y agoThey are making me do it
- andrei_says_ 1y agoI think it’s the story that’s the show. Not the slides not only the storyteller. But also the storyteller and also the slides. Every TED speaker is coached to start with a personal story.
- kmoser 1y agoAt 27:50, he relays a story about a grad student who did an experiment to see what the audience retained better: the slides, or the presenter's words. It seems the slides won out. So apparently the slides are the star of the show, whether you like it or not.
- jimbokun 1y agoBut if the slides are very sparse, it make YOU the star of the show.
