Is Power Point Evil?

PowerPoint is often criticized for dumbing down presentations and encouraging non-substantive style over meaningful content. In a 2003 Wired article, information design expert Edward Tufte argued that PowerPoint's emphasis on short bullet points and slides encourages simplistic, shallow thinking rather than thoughtful analysis and discussion. The website PowerPointIsEvil.com was created to critique and raise awareness about the potential negative effects of overusing PowerPoint in business presentations.
