Classic Boring Presentation
• A slide shows a list of bulleted items while the speaker reads them off.
• Even worse, the speaker reads whole sentences and paragraphs off the slides.
• This redundancy of two information channels is ineffective.
• Most meeting attendees will read the list for themselves more quickly than the speaker can say them.
• The redundancy of text and image does not provide any space for thought or curiosity.
• Often the speaker becomes peripheral and even unnecessary.
