-musician David Byrne
-Edward Tufte worte this article
-the new sins using PowerPoint
-found it limiting, inflexible, and biased like most software
-bad-looking visuals
-began to see PowerPoint as a metaprogram
-could attach my photographs, short videos, scanned images, and music
-soon realized he could actually create things that were beautiful
-his pieces became like short films
-genetic engineering
-is very bizarre
-phrenology

PowerPoint No, Cyberspace Yes
-by Tom Creed
-Technology is transforming our lives, including our lives as teacher.
-Technology in teaching is nothing new
-digital technology can enhance our students's learning, but only if our goals for our students'
learning drive its use.
-Electronic Communication is student-centered
-PowerPoint is teacher-centered
