PowerPoint Makes You Dumb

I hit an article "PowerPoint Makes You Dumb";needs register(free),NY Times. This said like that ...

Powerpoint is slideware program, so Powerpoint makes the matter simple. So people who was explained by Powerpoint pass over important items.

For example, Powerpoint contains 40 words per a sheet, or barely eight seconds reading. Faster! faster! you should pass through meeting more shortly, so Powerpoint makes article sum up.

People say that powerpoint serves many chart so we can know for more infromation. But Wall Street Journal contain up to 120 elements on average, on the other hand PowerPoint users typically produce charts with only 12 elements.

I don't think so. Powerpoint is for presentation. Presentation is informing outline in restricted time and space.

Do you know wizard of Powrpoint? When you start instant wizard, you will see this type of presentation...

-marketing
-business plan
-outline of project,product

This is just outline, not details. It is wrong to use Powerpoint for detailed reporting. If you want to reporting in-depth, you should use M$-WORD or M$-EXCEL (when calc, graph, chart).
