The people who want to ban PowerPoint

A group of people in Switzerland trying to prevent the software world, the preferred presentation

Switzerland could become the first country to ban PowerPoint presentations, the performance of a new party in parliamentary elections in October. Poehm Matthias, founder of the anti-PowerPoint, said that ? 350 billion could be saved each year in the trench by the scourge of public speaking. Poehm believes that the software takes people out of work and teach them little. "There is a solution," he said. "A flip chart."

  • After leaving the academy seven years ago, I promised myself to never use PowerPoint again. They still speak at conferences, however, and have been known to rant to the organizers when asked in advance to my PPT. I inform you that you will encounter a series of maps on which I noted the key points, but not boring my audience to tears with slides is more uncomfortable than flying text, fonts picky or photographs.
  • Call me old fashioned, but I think I have a real debate of ideas rather than force-feed a lot more sleep with lots of graphics and the points projected onto the nearest wall . Sometimes I wonder why he bothered to appear to hear a colleague to clarify in his thesis, when we have kindly agreed to publish a list before the presentation. As the speaker is the construction of a statistically significant, the delegates ended a long time and do crossword puzzles instead.
Poehm
If he wins 10 000 signatures in his party is free to nominate candidates for election. So far, fewer than 300 people have applied to the cause. Unfortunately, I think the move to Switzerland is on the table for me.
