e179 – Dissecting “The Great PowerPoint Panic of 2003″

Show Notes – Episode #179

• The recently released article in The Atlantic, “The Great PowerPoint Panic of 2003,” is the basis for a great conversation about how presentation design has evolved and PowerPoint was doomed. The article starts with “Twenty years later, the Great PowerPoint Panic reads as both a farce and a tragedy.” How could we NOT have a conversation about this and look back at Edward Tufte’s (in)famous pamphlet, “The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint in 2003.”
