Sixth: Power to your Point

PowerPoint is a software program that enables you to put key points, video's, pictures, charts and words into a presentation that responds at the click of your space bar.
it also induces the urge to ramble.
When you do a presentation you should make eye contact, yes? however when all your points and charts are on a big screen behind you you start to read off the big screen instead of looking at the people your presenting to.
as a program though PowerPoint is pretty easy to use and everything is clearly marked and all of the programs templates can be modified and customised if you really care that much.
and I'm not even done!
if you want to go really wild you can also customise the way the text flies in and out of your slide, you can also do this with the way your slides appear on the screen. some of them are quite extravagant and shouldn't be used in a professional PowerPoint.
PowerPoint also gives you the novelty of adding diagrams, pictures, movies, and music to help you make your point.
if your like me and cant be bothered to press a button when you need the slide to change you can also time all of the stuff in your presentation so that it runs seamlessly and you know how long your going to talk for.
now all you have to do is talk.
