This blog chronicles the adventures (and misadventures) of America's foremost (and likely, only) Humorist at Law as he travels the legal lecture circuit and explores the latest issues and trends in the world of CLE.
Matt Homann has initiated an interesting discussion in the Continuing Legal Education Speakers group on Linkedin.com. He asked for opinions regarding PowerPoint, which I considered to be one of the world's greatest evils, along with poverty, disease and VH1's fascination with Flavor Flav. Given my strong feelings on the matter, I couldn't help but throw my two cents in (all I can afford in this economy).
And while I'm tempted to simply paste my convincing (and oh so witty) remarks here for your consideration (and great amusement), sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words. Therefore, I present the ultimate argument against the use of PowerPoint -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s long lost PowerPoint slides from his I Have a Dream Speech.
