The horrors of PowerPoint
See here.
I tend to share the viewpoint that slides do not necessarily make a good speech.
The article does not mention, however, that busy speakers often try to sell “back of the enveloppe” presentations as a surrogate for drafting a paper ahead of a conference (the typical reply being, “Apologies, I cannot write a paper for the conference, but I will come with some slides…“).
