Was it just me or is Tufte saying Powerpoint is Communist?
1. Is the responsibilty of the loss of information soley on the system Powerpoint or is the responsibily on the presenter (user) lack of being able to use it?
2. I understand the importance of documents and the written word and how it can translate information better than PP; however, aren't the purpose of presentations to provide the concised version of the information on the written documnet? Isn't the system Powerpoint just one of tool to help get the point across?
I agree that Powerpoint can't be the only source in which an information is given ( like in the case of the NASA presentation) but I don't see why it should be discarded in presenting "serious matters".
