Whitfield Diffie from
Bell Northern
Research who came
up with initial idea
behind PowerPoint

Robert Gaskins
recognized the power
of Whitefield’s idea
and created
PowerPoint

• Forethought the company behind
PowerPoint acquired by Microsoft, but
remained an (obstinately) independent unit
in Mountain View

“From PowerPoint business plan: "Allows the
content-originator to control presentation."
For Gaskins, that had been the point: to get rid
of the intermediaries-graphic designers - and
never mind the consequences. Whenever
colleagues sought to restrict the design
possibilities of the program (to make a design
disaster less likely), Gaskins would overrule
them.”
Ian Parker, New Yorker, 2001

“Let's face it: most people
give poor talks… We have
had poor talks long before
PowerPoint. We had bullet
points long before
PowerPoint - long before
computers. In the old days,
people typed, stenciled or
hand-lettered their slides onto
transparencies, or later, 35
mm. slides. These talks were
also dull and tedious.”
Don Norman

David Bryne’s love of PowerPoint
E.E.E.I.: Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information
![Page 20: Presentations As Social Media In (talk at Portland Presentation Camp)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5441e72aafaf9f62208b47d2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
“Although I began by making
fun of the medium, I soon
realized I could actually create
things that were beautiful. I
could bend the program to my
own whim and use it as an
artistic agent…What had I
stumbled upon?”
![Page 21: Presentations As Social Media In (talk at Portland Presentation Camp)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5441e72aafaf9f62208b47d2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Still, "Sea of Possibilities"
“PowerPoint is a form of
theater. It has [a lot] in
common with Asian theater
and developments in
modern theater. The stage
mechanisms are revealed.
They are not hidden. ...
PowerPoint is like that. It
comes with the laptop and
the podium and the stage.
It’s a type of performance.”
![Page 22: Presentations As Social Media In (talk at Portland Presentation Camp)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5441e72aafaf9f62208b47d2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Still, "The End of Reason"
I began to see PowerPoint
as a metaprogram, one
that organizes and
presents stuff created in
other applications. Initially,
I made presentations
about presentations; I
discovered that I could
attach my photographs,
short videos, scanned
images, and music.

Characteristics of medium
• A mashup medium
• For both visuals or text

• Landscape (visual heavy)
• Constrained (need to be succinct)
• Recognizes individual creative instinct

How sharing on web is different
• User in control of navigation
• Needs to be fast, let people skim through
• Might need elaboration (+audio, video,
notes)
![Page 34: Presentations As Social Media In (talk at Portland Presentation Camp)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5441e72aafaf9f62208b47d2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Emerging styles

How businesses currently use

lead generation
• Whitepapers: to share knowledge and for
lead generation

website

Content on SlideShare
• About 25% business and 25% tech
• 30% self-identify as educational!
• Almost 50% have business intent of some
kind
![Page 60: Presentations As Social Media In (talk at Portland Presentation Camp)](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051816/5441e72aafaf9f62208b47d2/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Three quarters of neurons in our brain
that process sensory information are
focused on vision. While most people
in business think they can’t draw (they
can) or that they’re “not visual” (they
are), we can all get better at
discovering, developing, and sharing
new ideas by taking advantage of our
innate “visual thinking” system: our
eyes, our minds-eye, and our ability to
draw simple shapes.

“Using visuals isn’t
just a trend in
PowerPoint design;
using pictures to
think, work, and
share is the
dominant business
communication trend
of our time, period.”
