Dance your PowerPoint

May 18, 2012

We all know what it is like. Death by PowerPoint. That feeling that you would rather be somewhere else….anywhere else. John Bohannon, a scientist by background, reckons that the best way to explain complex things, is to simplify them as much as possible, even to the point of doing away with words if you can. He makes a case for replacing PowerPoint with dance, he even runs an annual ‘Dance your Phd’ competition. Remarkably he calculates that the US loses $100 billion a year to death by Powerpoint.

If you’ve a presentation or conference call today, what about it? Just dance as if nobody is watching.
