Hi Sam, thanks very much for this very flattering article! And well researched: Though the information is available online - I never told you about some of the stuff written here :-).

I wish you all the best in your presentations blog - I just subscribed to it and will follow your future posts!

Warm regards from Cologne,

Oliver

Hi Mike,

I agree with you there. If you look at only the slides of many great presentations (if they used slides at all), you might not understand the whole story. Many great presentations only use images and short video clips, how are you supposed to understand the story behind it? E.g. Lawrence Lessig's presentation at TED won't be helpful if he weren't talking while his slides are showing. It's the content that matters, not the slides.

But this will be very hard to change. The office culture of "can you present some slides for tomorrow morning" will still be around for a while, so it's important to find a compromise.

Though, I wonder, will there ever be a time when bosses say "Please make a presentation for tomorrow. Make a good storyline - use slides if you want." :-).
