Getting An Audience Onboard With Powerpoint

Imagine being on a journey, travelling to an exciting, new location. Imagine you are the tour guide and your passengers are eagerly waiting for your commentary; they want to hear the delights and attractions of each stopping place. But wait! On this journey, there's only one direction, and there's no stopping off to take in the sights of any locations you pass through. In fact, there's no reversing and no breaking off in another direction. When some people deliver a presentation, it can feel exactly like this - a one-track journey. And this sort of presentation is not one that most audiences want to revisit.

And from that highly unlikely origin, the following millennia brought us cave paintings, hieroglyphics, the printing press, the town crier, sign language, semaphore, the penny post, Morse code, the pony express, the telephone, radio, cinema, the fax, television, email, the Internet and the text message.
