This article made a lot of sense, and I'm also really happy we weren't asked to make a power point presentation after or before reading it. It is interesting, though, to think about the way we porobably would have utilized power point if we were asked to use it for an assignment. Although this may not be ur presentation method of choice becausewe are so used to using our creativity, I'm sure there would be a lot of the random bullets, changing fonts, and the use of lists simply because power point seems to bind the presenter to show evidence in those limited ways. It seems important that presentations find a better tool for showing evidence, but is that possible? We already have things like photoshop, illustrator, and web browsers but none are nearly as user friendly as power point. Presenters also have the very effective tool of talking which often seems the best way to communicate, yet so many companies stress the power point aspect. This could mean people are lazy in construcitng presentations, or maybe businesses don't trust their people to pull off a presentation and think they need a slideshow to talk beside. It seems businesses are going to have to dig deeper tof ind better ways to create presentations rather than relying on power point or any other program to do thier job.

Why did power point come to be this standard of a presentation? Is it because it is the most accessable tool dedicated to showing evidnece. If it weren't created would businesses have better marketing strategies all together without ever being introduced to the terrible formatted power point presentation.
