PowerPoint Is Evil vs. PowerPoint Is Not Evil

In the article called PowerPoint Is Evil, the man claimed that PowerPoint was evil because of how it did not give enough information. He also thought that a PowerPoint presentation concentrated too much on the presentation and not the actualy facts. Tables are always split up and words are minimal, which make a need for more slides. The more slides there are, the more little facts there are. All the little facts in a small amount of time are hard to process. Even though the information is hard to process, the actual reading on one slide is only about 8 seconds. This allows the audience not to get very much information on one slide and the presentation drags on forever just to get through all the facts. Mr. Tufte clearly dislikes Powerpoint because it has substituted a presentation and hasn't just been a tool for a presentation.
The argument that Tom Rocklin suggests is that PowerPoint is not Evil by itself. He declares that it depends on how the application is used while teaching and presenting. PowerPoint can help illustrate a difficul concept like it assisted Mr. Rocklin, however, it can also distract and not teach anything. Powerpoint presentations are not beneficial to everyone, in every circumstance, and everywhere. At times, notes on the board or a projector suffice. However, Rocklin believes that at times, PowerPoint can help students learn better if the technology provided is used in the right way.
