I present

You’d think that communication would be easy with all the technology

we have.

That ideas, plans, concepts, reviews, analysis could be passed on so easily

to all.

An audience would be persuaded, informed, kept up to date, instructed

at once.

But

I’m giving up the will to live, I’m going to fall asleep

The speaker keeps droning on, I’m falling off my seat.

Slides are full with paragraphs there’s fewer words on a page of a dictionary

I’m sure.

The speaker has over 100 slides to show, attenuation of data is not a skill

they know.

People say they hate public speaking so much yet talk for hours

non stop.

But

My eyes are feeling heavy, I think I might just snore

I’m going to make a run for it to the nearest exit door.

Slides are used as a script the medium being stronger than the message

it seems.

Backs are turned to the audience the speaker ignores them whilst speaking

for ever.

My definition of eternity is this beginning, muddle then merciful end

please stop.

But

I want to scream ‘It makes no sense a law maker we should appoint

And pass immediate legislation to outlaw PowerPoint.
