Prezi

Death by PowerPoint is a sad and unnecessary thing. A wise person once said to me 'never use PowerPoint to deliver text to an audience'. I often wish I had heeded the advice.

If we must insist on still using these presentational tools they should at least have some visual interest and be an aid to free thinking.

This is where prezi comes in. It is like a cross between a mind mapping tool and PowerPoint. Have a look at my first brief attempt to get a feel of it;

Impressed?

I am , and so is everybody I present to using it. Perhaps it is just a tool to disguise a bad presentation. Noone will be interested in the message if the medium is so good looking. Or perhaps the message really IS the medium?
