The Cognitive Style of Power Point

The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint: Pitching Out Corrupts Within, Second Edition by Edward R. Tufte makes me wonder:
- can you make a point in list format?
- why are we in such a hurry to get to our point?
- is Tufte making a statement by referring to PowerPoint as PP in his text?
- why do we think style is more communicative than substance?

Reasons to get and read this book:
- you'll never want to make a class presentation using PowerPoint again, even if it is required you do so
- if you never noticed irritating blips, beeps, background color and distracting graphics...you will after reading the book
- it will give you cause to sit back and really talk for a while about what you think, rather than give visual bites (the PowerPoint version of sound bites)
