One of my favourite quotes is "Power corrupts. PowerPoint corrupts absolutely." (Vinton Cerf)

But if a presentation is thoughtfully designed and prepared, the delivery tool matters less. Don't make me listen and read, because attention divided is no attention at all. For anyone who wants to explore simplicity in information design, I highly recommend the works of Edward Tufte, as well as Garr Reynold's Presentation Zen blog (http://presentationzen.blogs.com/presentationzen/).
