Powerpoint! Useful or not?

Powerpoint presentations are an essential part of any business or venture. But sometimes presentations can be really boring and slow. The five things that I dislike about a powerpoint presentation are- 1. When the alphabets come out one by one and it just keeps going. 2. When all the slides have a different theme or background color to it. 3. If there is too much word art and pictures al clustered in one slide. 4. When all the colors are differently matched so you cannot read anything properly. 5. If there is too much excel data or too many clustered charts that you can barely even read the data, let alone even understanding it. 

But even with all the negatives of a powerpoint presentation, it is definitely a very handy tool. If we have to present an idea in class or a business is presenting its contract to a large group of investors, powerpoints are definitely the way to go. Instead of using the standard white board, powerpoint gives you a chance to add different kinds of themes/backgrounds, there can be custom music, custom animation, any kind of data whether basic excel sheets or charts can be added, even pictures can be used. Pretty much everything is possible to be presented by a powerpoint. And thus it makes for a good presentation. And as I mentioned earlier, specially for a business idea presentation, powerpoint is definitely the best bet. Because it covers all the aspects of a presentation.
