Speech from M. Poehm, president of the Anti-PowerPoint-Party. Why you should sign in!

Since May 2011 exists the Anti-PowerPoint Party. The APPP is an international movement that is opened to proponents from all over the world free of charge, anonymous, and without any obligations. Signing in as a proponent, makes the movement the fourth biggest Party of Switzerland and thus people deeply and widely talk about the PowerPoint-issue. We don't want to abolish Ppt we just want the PowerPoint-CONSTRAINT to be abolished. By signing in you help yourself to see less boring presentations in the future http://www.anti-powerpoint-party.com/participate/become-a-member

@guh077 Read my book "The PowerPoint Fallacy" or come to my seminar - you will see how easy it is and how it just works. If you are a member of the APPP you can get the book for a special price! Sign in and finally do something!

powerpoint killed my family and raped my mother!

I find this concept a bit silly. Powerpoint is just a tool. If that tool is used badly or inappropriately that is not the fault of the tool itself. Also, a flip chart is not a viable alternative as it is much less portable and less scalable. A .ppt fits on a USB stick, laptop or tablet which can then be shown on a projector to much larger audience than could adequately view a flipchart. Also, how do I send a flipchart to people in different continents who are dialing-in to my meeting?

If you guys think that power point/Keynotes are bad then you have obviously never seen a Apple or Google press conference :)

[MrREH1962]

Having suffered through HUNDREDS of horrible, boring, stupid and cheesy PowerPoint presentations in my life I wholeheartedly agree that PPT presentations have KILLED the ability of most companies and organizations to hold exceptional meetings and presentations. I cannot remember ONE PowerPoint presentation that could not have been done better with a flip chart or a whiteboard with dry erase markers. NO MORE POWERPOINTS!

[gabri888777]

I think he should make a power point presentation to clarify the concept

[READYdot]

@RhetorikOnline Oh, ok! So it's all about selling your book!?

2:36 "Just... leave your daughter..." Really? Leave my daughter? Is that what he said?  Is it because she uses Power Point and should disown anyone who does?

[ycatstacy]

As someone who has made presentations both with and without powerpoint, I note higher levels of engagement without PPT. People struggle to read slides while the speaker is talking, instead of focusing on what the presenter is saying. Powerpoint has its place, but we really ought to look at the differences between using PPT and someone with a white board or a projector screen who can write notes or draw diagrams from time to time, but where there's the focus on the presenter more than the "show."

@ProzacR : How are people being 'forced' to use Powerpoint? It's used because it is the best tool (and please let me know if you disagree) available that does the job, whether you like it or not. I'm not some sort of Powerpoint evangleist, I just think this is a ridiculous tirade against a software tool (regardless of how it is used) and a laughable premise for a political party.

The internet, giving nutters a voice since 1994 :o)
