PowerPoint makes you stupid [New York Times - free registration req'd]
A worrying piece in the New York Times about how poorly constructed PowerPoint slides may have contributed to the recent shuttle disaster. The argument is that the now defacto requirement to reduce all information to about 40 words of text, or 12 elements in a chart, so that it will fit on a PowerPoint slide, means that we are losing a lot of important stuff along the way...
oddly enough, Microsoft disagrees.
