    That must be one of the worst demos I've ever seen. I got dizzy going through it. Ugh.

Prezi looks good but only replaces boring bullet points with pretty bullet points. To really focus the presentation to the speaker's voice I find that HAIKU DECK for iOS really removes bullet point syndrome. http://www.haikudeck.com/ http://www.haikudeck.com/ (I don't work there.)

Prezi gives me motion sickness. I don't see the point.

  Using it right is a little bit of a skill. Too much panning and zooming can be bad, but just the right amount makes the presentation seem more fresh and alive than a ppt. I've been using prezi for a few years now, and almost always get good audience feedback. Like any tool, you still have to know how to use it, it will not do all the work for you.

    I looked at a sample Prezi, and it had way too much panning and zooming. Of course, then again, I was quickly clicking through it, whereas normally I'd imagine there'd be a couple minutes of talking and delay between each step.

    Prezi adds nothing to the content I'm presenting. Its one animation gimmick and that's it. The best slide presentation software I've seen so far is SlideShow, but its for programmers only :) http://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/publications/icfp04-ff.pdf http://www.cs.utah.edu/plt/publications/icfp04-ff.pdf

When transmitting information on screens, you can only fit ~7 lines of ~7 words each at a readable font. This inhibits the transfer of complex narratives. Fancy animations and zooms can't fix this inherent limitation of the slide format.
