''PowerPoint has consumed the best years of too many young lives, the goal is to make people pay attention to the speaker, not stare at the screen.''- David Silverman
''Several hundred million copies of Microsoft PowerPoint are churning out trillions of slides each year. Very few of these slides actually communicate ideas to an audience. Such misuse ignores the most important rule of speaking: Respect your audience.''- Edward Tufte
