PowerPoint is the most basic form of data-mapping. It relates to the memory theatre and the Art of memory Both Tufte and Byrne’s criticism of powerpoint have foundations, however it still is a tool that can be used correctly. Tufte misses the point about social interaction and learning made by powerpoint. Oral modes of communication are obviously slower than text but, as our crit today showed us, no less important. Though hard to articulate, I feel there is a connection between the mapping of large quantities of data and the way in which we present information to each other in a social context. Both use convention to communicate, and both offer a specific window into a specific body of knowledge. I feel the connections go deeper, but because this a talk I can only facilitate conversation and outline the cursory points. A condensed version of everything I want to say in this presentation: Tuesday the 13th of December, 2005, Earth-time
