A well-known Irish public figure commented a number of years ago that PowerPoint is the creation of the devil.
Like all modern technological developments, PowerPoint, when used properly can be a most enhancing pedagogical tool.
But when it is badly used, when people simply fill the space with text and read from it, it must be one of the worst possible methods in attempting to convey information or instruct people.
And then to add to the insult, make sure that the PA system is ineffective, well, it's the perfect miserable experience.
Sitting through a day of PowerPoint badly used is certainly a close encounter with the devil.
I know. I have been there this week.
It was also a first for me to attend a book launch and no copies available for the hoi polloi.
