PowerPoint

When I think back to the worst presentations I have been forced to sit through. Everyone one of them had PowerPoint in common. There is almost no way to make PPT presentations interesting. By far the worst thing about PPT is that when people present using it, they usually have made little to know preparations on what they will say in their presentation and instead rely on the PowerPoint to do the work for them. Probably 90% of PPT presentations feature the presenter reading their slides to the audience. Often presenters insist on putting way to much information in each slide, the slides are meant to show bullet points, not essays. My AP US GOV teacher was a huge fan of PPT, everyday we did the same thing, sit down, turn off the lights and look at slides. Needless to say, there was a large amount of sleeping in that class. I'm sure there are some people that can use PPT effectively, I am yet to meet them, overall I wholeheartedly believe PPT to be the most useless and least interesting tool for presenting.
