The death of powerpoint

June 14th, 2007

There has been a lot in the blog-o-sphere about the death of powerpoint.

Obviously powerpoint is just a tool to use to make or illustrate points, but in the new world of web 2.0 has powerpoint been left behind ?

PowerPoint 1.0 was released in 1987 for the Mac. It ran in black and white, generating text-and-graphics pages for overhead transparencies. A new full color version of PowerPoint shipped a year later after the first color Macintosh came to market.

That’s all a far cry from where we are today with video and databases on every corner

Has powerpoint had its day or does it still have a roll to play ?

We are planning to develop some elearning in powerpoint as a free download so you can judge for yourself.

In the meantime - enjoy the chicken..
