| IBM very much uses powerpoints... they don't rely solely on them though, and neither does Intel. Would agree with the general point made with the first article though, its a very common problem. Last edited by Kougar : 30th November 2007 at 14:14. |

| It's a question whetere you use it for internal or external communication. Because most of the press is lazy, Powerpoint is good so they can copy and paste stuff. You can also not try to change a customer so you have to use powerpoint there as well. |

| for presentations it's all nice, but I absolutely hate the fact that University professors starting using powerpoint for their lessons and just printing out these no-info holding PP books and call them "study guides"; really very very lame

| Indeed, it seems that the powepoint part of our readers get bigger and bigger while the article part becomes smaller and there are less books to read. I see it as a chance however, when noone bothers too read stuff, reading books become a powerfull weapon of knowledge. |

| Agree, on the other hand they can be an asset when trying to remember what exactly was said when I was talking with my fellow students |

| People= professors? In College professors only care for the essence, it is up to the students to dig into the detail and search for the sources and supports. Unfortunately, this has been the same over the last 40 years, back to the days I was attending school. However, college is to train students the ways to look for answers which don't come to you.
