Do you think PowerPoint is mostly used well?

I am not sure if PowerPoint is mostly used well, but I don't think that it can be bad as well. It just depends on the speaker and how they present their PowerPoint presentations. However, most students take PowerPoint as an advantage of making "colorful" and "pretty" slides, ignoring what they REALLY need to talk about through their presentations. They may use several, or even too many clip art pictures and animations that the whole slideshow just looks extremely tacky. In my personal opinion, I do not like it when people use animation or transitions for slides and letters. They could use it less often. Plus, some people also like to use too many colors as their background for each slide. It should look "pleasing to the eye" instead. If I were to create a presentation, I would probably make its overall appearance look neat and organized. This does not mean that these factors will automatically make the presentation boring, however. That is depended upon how well the information is portrayed. The information should be presented in interesting ways (for example, unique facts about the topic could be typed on some slides). However, there also should not be too many slides on the presentation because that will just take up lots of time and lots of slides in general. Graphics should be laid out nicely (in case there are any on there), and animations should not be too ''dance-y'' or ''distracting''. If it was distracting, then your whole presentation would basically be pointless and the audience would forget what your complete presentation was about because the animation could have nothing in common with your topic. It also depends on what the speaker is saying, and the speed and tone that he or she is talking in. If his or her voice is monotonous and slow, the audience would most likely be thinking about everything else BUT the presentation. If he or her also makes too many pauses or stops, that tends to bore others. These are my personal ideas on how one can improve his or her PowerPoint presentation in order to make it more interesting, different, and intriguing to the audience that that person is talking to.
