The insidiousness of PowerPoint is beautifully and convincingly expounded in the little pamphlet by Edward Tufte, "The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint: Pitching Out Corrupts Within". (www.edwardtufte.com/tufte) It makes me shudder when I hear elementary school teachers boasting that every student in their class learned how to make a PowerPoint presentation to the class. It even makes me shudder when I hear some of my colleagues tell me they deliver their in-class lectures as PowerPoint presentations.
