"Power Point is Evil"

Edward Tufte talks, in the blog post, about his disdain for power points.  I have sat through many meetings myself having to look at slide after slide while the presenter reads each one word for word.  How boring!!  While power points are definitely over used, I do believe they have a time and a place.  I think power points should be there only to enhance a presentation...use a slide show a picture of what you are talking about, or to show a chart or graph that goes along with the presentation.  Just like Edward I really don't think power points should be used as the full presentation for someone to just read from.
