FWIW, this was the same content he gave us at Hack The North when he was visiting less than 24 hours ago. It makes sense to copy it down and repeat it rather than try to memorize all of it.
- tucaz 12y agoI'm not sure this is about memorization. Teachers give the same content over and over again and do not memorize (in the sense of repeating it until it's memorized). Great presenters do not memorize their speeches. They practice it until it's natural. I agree that content is king, but the one reason why we attend to classes, events and speeches is to see a great delivery of the content being presented. If not, better handle the written version by email and be done with it. I'm pretty sure Steve Jobs wouldn't be remembered by his presentation skills if he read the whole thing. That's also not the reason why I remember my physics teacher from 10 years ago.
