24. Killing Me Microsoftly


           1900 power point was invented witch changed everyone. Before power point, people used slideshows or plain imagination, yet after the invention everyone from 4th grade teacher to business worker, everyone uses it. It has its advantages and its disadvantages. Some people like it and others hat it. And the author himself said how Power Point swallows humans idea, there trace of though. Yet it is an easy way to make something hard understandable. It captures peoples attention, especially kids. And finally the author also talk about Power Point not slowing discussions anymore, were they previously were “allowed”.
            Personally I think Power point is not as important as it used to, this might have appeared differently to the Author because of the timeframe he was writing it. This program does not necessary take way the time of discussion, people can just pause it and have a discussion anyway. In some ways, Power Point only opens time for discussion. Yet tho, it is a useful tool for almost anything. The Author was clear in his text and gave various examples witch helped readers comprehend his point of view. Overall he Wrote a good essay with his point of views, yet with space open for discussion.
