Response to reading

I thought everything David Byrne had to say on the topic of Powerpoint was very interesting.  I like that he views the program as a metaprogram, he uses it to present work created in other programs.  It's definitely an interesting media to use to create art.  That other guy Tufte just seemed to have a personal problem with the program, and so I found everything he wrote to be obnoxious and close-minded.

Yes, I agree. Sometimes I just see Powerpoint as an easy tool to use to show data. But you can really make amazing presentations with it. I had fun exploring Keynote, and discovered that with my knowledge on Powerpoint, I could do just about anything on Keynote. By the way, I highly recommend it! Powerpoint/Keynote presentations definitely make life for working people and students so much easier.
