It’s just too easy to do.

Author Seth Godin’s Really Bad PowerPoint post on this topic hits the nail on the head.

Business Week has a great article about how Steve Jobs is a master at giving presentations. He doesn’t use PowerPoint, rather a program for the Mac called Keynote.

This is where you have 20 slides for 20 seconds each, giving you 6-7 minutes of content. Since it is typical for presentations with PowerPoint have too much text and too many bullets, I believe that using this format will force me to get any technical materials into something that helps the attendees feel smarter, rather than make me look smarter. The goal is to educate and empower, not show off.
