Bill, you sure represent 'old school'. The most common complaint I hear from professors is that PHD students don't read anymore. Many don't even bother to buy the books. It's all about the professor's power point presentations.

On the topic of power point presentations . . .

Meetings in the corporate world are all power point presentations . . . this format is also the norm at community presentations and even at church. One cannot avoid them.

This quotation from a previous edition of Business Week is spot on about presentations (whether preaching, speaking, etc.):

“The best speakers at any corporate level today grip an audience by telling a story and showing some slides to support that,” says Thielsch. "The boldest among them do away with slides entirely."
