Power point is Evil

As I read the article, I was most struck by the fact that it read like a preterbed employee bored by one too many dull PowerPoint presentations rather than someone assessing the program for its actual merits (or lack thereof). I disagree, I do not think that PowerPoint is evil. That's like saying that cars are evil or a knife is evil. It depends upon how it is used, upon how it is weilded. This fact was acknowledged even by the author at the end of the article where he states "rather than supplementing a presentation, it has become the substitute". In saying this, he says himself that the problem lies with how it is used, rather than the product itself. If used correctly, PowerPoint is a great tool.
