"Bullet-point filled slides with reams of text become a barrier to good communication. We have become accustomed to a “Slideument culture” in which a disconnect exists between the audience and the presenter. Many people, including many top business leaders, are fed up with dense, hard to comprehend text-filled slides. But it is not the fault of the tool, necessarily. It is not enough to be a master at using the application."

""Technical knowledge is not enough. One must transcend techniques so that the art becomes an artless art, growing out of the unconscious.""
