Powerpoint allows us to incorporate images, text and hyperlinks into presentations helping to explain and present our ideas in a more efficient manner, it edits our ideas and organizes our thoughts into a digestable format. Powerpoint has obvious advantages over traditional presentations especially in the way in which it gives people more confidence but it also has a negative effect on the way we present our ideas. It limits to a certain extent the dialogue between lecturer and audience 'instead of human contact we are given human display' (p.5). An exciting presentation can make a bad idea look attractive, instead of thinking about the quality of our ideas we are thinking about what font to use.
