This blog post is about the article “Death by PowerPoint”. It talks about how many people fail at making their statement using the PowerPoint system, and how ineffective their presentations can get. Some other ways you can improve your slideshow presentation is to not have too many slides; be precise and get to the point. Similarly, don’t just read off the screen; know your stuff ahead of time. It also states that when the presentation does not make a good impression, the presenter doesn’t look good either. Nevertheless, the article seems to focus on the visual aspect of the presentation. People are more interested in something when it looks appealing. However, as the article states, you should not overload your PowerPoint presentation with multimedia. Another important part of avoiding “death by powerpoint” is to be familiar with the technology that you will be using in your presentation (don’t fuss with it at the last minute). Some other parts the article focused on included the “b” key (which you can use to blacken the screens of presentation so that the audience will focus on you), and the physical motions of the presenter. To conclude, know what you’re talking about and be confident.
