Power Point

PowerPoint like all forms of communication can be used in the wrong way. PowerPoint is best used when showing statistics and graphs and a limited amount of bullet points. The best way to make a PowerPoint is to keep it the least complicated as possible. This rule of PowerPoint making was obviously broken in the slide from the Defense Department, from the New York Times article, which showed the complexity of the strategy in Afghanistan. When creating a PowerPoint presentation one should think if they will unitentianly cause "death by PowerPoint"; the sensation that is felt after a 30 slide presentation. So it is best to try to get your point accross in the least amount of slides, only state the main points, and try when giving a PowerPoint presentation to exlpain in your own words what you mean by the points instead of just reading each line of information.
