Thanks for adding to the dialogue, Michael. Folks want to learn and be entertained. While this doesn't always have to be multimedia, it does help.

I agree. The best presentations are ones that incorporate multimedia elements, such as video and images.
These features add to presentations, making them more appealing to audiences. Couple them with an
engaging presenter, and the presentation is sure to be a success.

Thanks, Jeremy. Like I said at the beginning, it gets me riled up when people hate on PowerPoint because the presenter doesn't know how to use it. And you're spot on: PowerPoint, Keynote, and other tools *can* do amazing things if they work in service of the presentation. Too many presenters believe they still have a “captive” audience just because they're stuck in the same room.

Appreciate you adding to the dialogue here

Yep, you nailed it. Way too easy to blame the tool and not the craftsman. As a former MSFTie, I've railed against PowerPoint a lot, but again, only how it is used, since I think, in the right hands, it does amazing things.

Thanks for the comment on my blog as well.
