Presentation Text

Powerpoint has not changed much since it was first introduced as Aldus Persuasion. The idea was to replace the overhead projector and lugging around copious numbers of overhead transparencies. Artisits were using Aldus Freehand to produce transparency artwork making Persuasion a logical step for the executives making the presentations. Persuasion was bought by Adobe as Photoshop became more popular with digital artists, then Microsoft grabbed it up renamed it PowerPoint, packaged it with Office, and added a clip art library making it the default for business. The popularity as a business tool moved the creation of presentations from the artist to the presenter. Again, Powerpoint itself still hasn't really changed much.

PowerPoint's interface and editing capabilities are very outdated, and cumbersome.

A hammer does not a carpenter make.


Presentation Slides

The first slide would be up as everyone entered the room with a powerpoint logo and a picture of an overhead projector.
The second slide would have the timeline shown with Aldus, Adobe, and Microsoft.
The third slide would be a stone hammer and a square wheel.
