Another birthday in the news, PowerPoint is 25 years old (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/8207849.stm). I’m not so sure how happy I am with this one, although one of the developers is supposed to be a KU alum. Having been numbed by crappy presentations over the years, I have always wondered if PowerPoint is the root problem, or just the tool of choice. It’s now ubiquitous and like Word, there’s almost no way to function in the professional community without a copy of it on your PC or Mac.
