Death by PowerPoint
"Death by PowerPoint" refers to the phenomenon where presentations become overly complex, dull, or lengthy, leading to disengagement from the audience. This often occurs when presenters rely too heavily on slides filled with text, excessive animations, or cluttered visuals, making it difficult for viewers to absorb the information.
The term highlights the importance of effective communication in presentations. To avoid "Death by PowerPoint," presenters are encouraged to use clear visuals, limit text, and engage the audience through storytelling or interactive elements, ensuring that the message is conveyed effectively and memorably.
