In the Tribune, Julia Keller impose usage of power points is insipid compared to other ways of presentations. She starts the essay with a small anecdote that places a football coach in a dilemma; he has to decide whether he should make an heart touching speech or a banal power point to talk to the players. This dilemma points out the two type of people in this world, ones who use believe in themselves to tell the message or depend on power point to do it for them. Keller expresses the head aching use of power pint. it has become mainstream in society mostly among business man ans students. However, Keller doesn't forget to extol power point as it has contributed as renovation of giving presentations. The display of the visuals, verbalized ideas, and speaker's arguments on the power point has encouraged speakers using power point. Nonetheless, power points obstructed people from thinking further in creating ways to present their ideas. People now have become so relied on the power point that individual thinking is less valued when it comes to power point usage.
Julia Keller is a writer who expresses herself with many words. Julia Keller's ideas seem conservative in thinking that technology has created the worst of many things. She does imply that Power points have contributed in the beneficial outcome by renovating ways in presentations but she is very obtrusive to say that power point hasn't only done good in the society but also bad to the point that people depend on power points for confidence. She uses a logical fallacy in the beginning of the essay when she introduces the anecdote. She only gives the coach two options when there can be more than only two. Her language is great and the structure of the way she approaches the audience is pretty clear, but i didn't appreciate that fact that she was so obtrusive about her ideas.
