Edwarde Tufte thinks Powerpoint is an ineffective way to communicate information becauseof the number of words presented to you per minute.
something on the order of 6 words per minute versus the 1000 to 2000 that we can read.

A condensed version of everything I want to say in this presentation:
PowerPoint is the most basic form of data-mapping. It relates to the memory theatre and the Art of memory
Both Tufte and Byrne’s criticism of powerpoint have foundations, however it still is a tool that can be used correctly.
Tufte misses the point about social interaction and learning made by powerpoint. Oral modes of communication are obviously slower than text but, as our crit today showed us, no less important.
Though hard to articulate, I feel there is a connection between the mapping of large quantities of data and the way in which we present information to each other in a social context. Both use convention to communicate, and both offer a specific window into a specific body of knowledge.
I feel the connections go deeper, but because this a talk I can only facilitate conversation and outline the cursory points.
