The cost of the widespread use of PowerPoint may have prompted Scott McNealy, chairman and CEO of Sun Microsystems, to describe it in August 1997 as "a huge waste of corporate productivity," and to ban its use from his company's meetings.

The people who inhabited the Japanese islands in ancient times believed mountains were places of power, as did ancient people in many other places around the world. To people living near them, mountains were thought to be the abode of spirits of the dead as well as of the kami. In some cases, a mountain was believed to be the actual body of a kami and was closed to all but specially trained and purified priests.

Extra notes/possible narration

Mountains in Japan have long been considered the realm of the kami. Many Shinto shrines used to have a mountain as their sanctuary, with the shrine buildings as a kind of stage from which worshippers could petition the deities. Notable shrines still keeping this relationship include Miwa Shrine near Nara, Fushimi Inari Taisha in southeastern Kyoto, and Kamigamo Shrine in northeastern Kyoto.

Mountain shrine. In Shinto, when a mountain is considered an object of worship, a yamamiya may be established at the summit or on the side of the mountain, as at Sengen Jinja on Mt Fuji. In some cases, the yamamiya may be regarded as an "interior shrine" (okumiya) in contrast to a shrine located in a village (see satomiya) or lower on the mountain. Some scholars see the yamamiya associated originally with ancestor worship, and thus also with the dual complex of mountain god (yama no kami) and rice field god (ta no kami).
