This is unlike the Wally we know. Normally he would have found out a way to escape the torture of a presentation...

Power Point can actually be useful if it's not used to read something people can read for themselves, which I call "Power Pointless." As a speaker, I would do Power Points and accompany it with the paper presentations that people could take notes on, but I would leave key slides out of the paper presentations thus allowing my audience to be more engaged and attentive. Eventually, however, I found that paper and pen still work most effectively and I dropped Power Point altogether.

I am actually living this strip. Putting together this presentation which is now 50 slides long. I wonder if the presenter plans on handing out "no doze" during the the meeting.

My impression of power point presentations is that they are "microsoft answers": perfectly correct, yet of no use whatever.

I wonder how many man hours [person hours? Person years??] have been wasted in meetings and Powerpoint 'presentations' that anybody not brain-dead could have flipped through in 5 minutes....not to mention day-long instruction sessions that could have been completely summarized on two pieces of paper, or sales pitches that would have taken a short paragraph and a dozen bullet points.

In my days as a corporate slave, it was plenty...and even our managers were skeptical of the whole process. I can only conclude that some upper executive type found it all entertaining and thought nobody else had anything better to do than join in the fun...
