I believe that PowerPoint can be a very powerful asset to many presentations and assignments. It often adds an extra oomph that is needed to spruce up the dullest of messages. I keeps an audience focused and attentive in even the longest of presentations. Unfortunately PowerPoint can easily become a hindrance rather than an asset if it is used improperly. I do agree with many detractors in the aspect of it being more the operators fault that the PowerPoint program itself that a presentation becomes boring.
Users should be well versed in the language of PowerPoint before attempting to use it. There are many animations and the such that can be used to really enhance a person's work. PowerPoint is often condemned permanently because of a bad experience that may have occurred some time ago. Many users make the mistake of either overusing or under-using this program. It can be used for so much more than simply posting one photo or word onto a slide and clicking next. Likewise, it should not contain so much information that viewers become overwhelmed.
PowerPoint is a great tool that can be easily used by anyone who is willing to learn how to use it. Detractors should not so quickly condemn a program that can be such an asset. If used correctly, it can be one of the most powerful tools to use when conveying a message.
