it will take you too long to read this. the slide will probably change before you finish reading this. no one wants to read this. this is just a bunch of useless text. it is neither interesting or neat. all your audience will read is blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. the font isn’t even that great. don’t drain the slide with text. don’t bother reading the text. no one wants to hear you babble and babble and babble and babble and ramble and ramble and ramble and ramble on and on and on and on ….. on and on and on and on rambling and babbling and babbling and rambling and blah blah blahing about information that is not important. this is a POWERPOINT not an essay. keep it short. keep it simple. keep it easy to read.
