I of course have a personal interest in the subject matter of An Inconvenient Truth, but I was also fascinated by the idea of a compelling PowerPoint presentation - I tend to hate the tool, if only because it’s so badly used so many times. (I even own a copy of Edward Tufte’s “The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint”.) So this Presentation Zen post on Al Gore’s quality use of PowerPoint was quite inspiring as a reminder that it’s possible to use PowerPoint as something compelling - as long as one refrains from bullet points overloaded with text and information!
Not sure if the film’s coming to Singapore, but I’ll be getting the DVD once it’s out.
