Ever sit through a PowerPoint presentation where the speaker put every single word of his or her presentation on the slide — and then proceeded to read it word for word? There should be a law against that, and the presenter should be punished by having to sit through their own presentation for the next 24 hours.

Comic Don McMillan agrees, and he has some hilarious observations about other all-too-common PowerPoint abuses.

PowerPoint’s greatest advantage is also its most notorious curse: It puts presenters at ease, but it can also put audiences to sleep.

Just remember, whether you’re in front of a large crowd or small group, it’s impossible to disappear from the audience’s eye; you still need to have strong presentation skills. The best PowerPoint presentations enhance your presence, they don’t replace you as the presenter.
