PowerPoint Blog Assignment #5
In the artical the culture of "the deck" this lady is talking about her experiences useing the microsoft. Mainly she talks about the deck which are power point files. She is saying that to have visuals and documentation on a slide is bad. Power point is a tool to view visual information and not written documents. She is saying that the speakers should not use power point to show their written documents. They could use other tools to show their written documents. No one wants to read pages full of power point slides. With a written document, however, there is no reason for shallowness or ambiguity. To be differnt people should start useing a well written detailed document for the handouts which should be also simply designed.

He is absaloute agains the people that use power point. He says that power point is just to shortain big work sheets. Here the people has the option to read a 120-page business plan or a 12-page bullet point summary, where most would choose the bullet points. Here he is strongly saing that bullet points on a screen make information harder to understand, not easier. So bullet point has nothing to do in a power point.

There are some people that want to try to fix the problem. But they dont konow how to do it. The problem is that the organizations dont dont know where to start. He says that it is not hard to fix this poblem but everyone wants it too.
