Banning Power Point. So I guess you've never seen a good presentation then? Classic example, watch a TED.com talk.
I'm sure they don't all use Power Point at TED but that's not the point, its not PowerPoint per se that you're getting at I don't think, its presentations right? Because just banning Power Point within Government gets nothing but a change in software provider; and knowing governments it couldn't possible free FOSS so it would cost millions to roll out some other expensive shit.
So its seems like a dumb idea to me banning Power Point; or do you actually mean ban presentations with slide shows all together; because that would just be super stupid. Everyone finds it easier to interpret data when pretty pictures are involved, why would you get rid of that?
Largely because no-one remembers the content.
Moan about time wasting; un-needed presentations, meetings that are about future meetings, that sort of shit; don't ban and effective method of representing data during a talk?!
I don't believe that Powerpoint *is* an effective way of presenting very much at all.
