Is Powerpoint Truly Evil – or Just a Crutch?
PowerPoint: Killer App?, Washington Post
“But NASA — like the rest of corporate and bureaucratic America — seems powerless to resist PowerPoint. Just this month a minority report by the latest shuttle safety task force echoed the earlier concerns: Often, the group said, when it asked for data it ended up with PowerPoints — without supporting documentation.”
Editor’s note: Wouldn’t it be something if NASA engineers were forced to use complete sentences – and perhaps even paragraphs when they were called upon to explain things – instead of word streams with bullets for punctuation (in Powerpoint) where nouns and verbs often get confused.
