Citing Steve Jobs to defend slideshows only makes the case for what's wrong with slide shows. Jobs' slideshows were only ever a supplement to his presentation.

Citing Steve Jobs to defend slideshows only makes the case for what's wrong with slide shows. Jobs' slideshows were only ever a supplement to his presentation. If you removed the slideshows, the presentation would suffer somewhat (and only a little, if you ask me). However, if you removed Jobs, there would be no presentation. His slides were nothing you could review online later because you missed the live presentation.
