Death by PowerPoint

P.P.? Why does every forum, convention, meeting, bat cave, conclave, powwow, congregation, and/or cattle call have to include an hour-long funeral via PowerPoint? Because nobody knows how to engage an audience anymore. It's almost as if society has forgotten that stimulating an audience actually helps them learn and understand presented material. But we say, "F(_)ck that homie," and drive on with our brainwashed Micros0ft society. Captivating speech is not taught in college public speaking classes. Maybe that's saved for acting class. What is taught is that you must have a presentation, you must physically speak to your audience, and you must use today's ever uninspiring technology to do so. Yawn. That sounds like a dead-man's checklist. Anyone can read what's on a projection screen, but that'll never make an audience shit themselves so hard that they'll never forget what you had to say on 12 March 2005. We need to fight back people. Or fall asleep if you prefer.
