Torture? Yes!
• PowerPoint Is Evil– Power Corrupts.
PowerPoint Corrupts Absolutely.– By Edward Tufte
• Imagine a widely used and expensive prescription drug that promised to make us beautiful but didn't. Instead the drug had frequent, serious side effects: It induced stupidity, turned everyone into bores, wasted time, and degraded the quality and credibility of communication.

Torture? No!• Learning to Love PowerPoint
– . . . PowerPoint makes hilariously bad-looking visuals. But that’s a small price to pay for ease and utility.
– Although I began by making fun of the medium, I soon realized I could actually create things that were beautiful. I could bend the program to my own whim and use it as an artistic agent. The pieces became like short films: Some were sweet, some were scary, and some were mysterioso.
• David Byrne, Wired Issue 11.09 | September 2003

Before PowerPoint?
• There was magic!– Magic Lanterns!
• The magic lantern -- the first projector -- has been around since around the 1650s. Soon after its invention it became a showman's instrument. By the end of the 17th century, wandering lanternists were putting on small-scale shows in inns and castles, using a lantern lit with a feeble candle. These shows featured a wide variety of tales including spirits, goblins and devils -- hence the name the “magic lantern.”
• Where it ALL Began

And then there were slide projectors and film strip projectors

And there were plenty of presentations on slides

In 1985, presentations weren’t made on PC’s much, though
