PowerPoint and the Military


Thanks to Bob for passing along this interesting article about PowerPoint use in the military. There are many quotes that I could have pulled out, but the final sentences were the best:

Senior officers say the program does come in handy when the goal is not imparting information, as in briefings for reporters.

The news media sessions often last 25 minutes, with 5 minutes left at the end for questions from anyone still awake. Those types of PowerPoint presentations, Dr. Hammes said, are known as “hypnotizing chickens.”
