I don't see a lot of "flaws" with Powerpoint because its functionality is very simple. I would say there are 4 key components to presentation: 1. predetermined agenda/topics for discussion (what people use powerpoint for) 2. ad-hoc discus

Ok, the author is a bit of a moron. He said stupid things and detracted from what I am guessing his point is. He also didn't read about the Netflix algorithms and how they actually work (all around terrible job of reporting indeed.) Howev
