A word about PowerPoint

1. A word about PowerPoint • PowerPoint was released by Microsoft in 1990 as a way to euthanize cattle using a method less cruel than hitting them over the head with iron mallets. • After PETA successfully argued in court that PowerPoint actually was more cruel than iron mallets, the program was adopted by corporations and education for slide show presentations.

24. The “Many Ways to Win” Message • The “one way to win” philosophy is nonsense. It sets up the majority of students for failure. • There are Many Ways to Win. Many occupations provide salaries comparable to those earned by university graduates. (What do you think they are?)
