I borrowed a friend’s copy of The Cognitive Style of Power Point by Edward Tufte many, many months ago (sorry man) and finally read it. Tufte rips apart the PowerPoint presentation from several different angles. His pamphlet-essay is basically a 23-page version of: “Hey folks, PowerPoint sucks because it only gets in the way and no one will understand what you need to tell them.” I think we all know that. I don’t think anyone I work with likes PowerPoint. I don’t think anyone I’ve ever met likes PowerPoint. That said, I guess this essay would be useful for people that do like PowerPoint, but anyone that likes PowerPoint isn’t going to seek out reasons to not like it. Ergo, I don’t know what good this essay could possibly do.
But the cover graphic is really cool.
I also like this picture. Bonus points for finding a Peugeot bike that’s still in use.
