Power What Wow Do You Remember Back In
Power-What??
Wow do you remember back in junior high when our teachers were talking about this new bombshell software called Power Point? I remember being in a group for some kind of a project and they taught us how to use power point so we could incorporate it into our presentation. I thought, what a simple program, when would we actually use it outside of school? I used this program just once throughout highschool.
Well guess what. All I see is PowerPoint at work! PPT is everywhere in marketing, even in my damn coffee chrysanthemum tea.
marketing director: "Can you put together a documentation of the field trial procedures?"
me: "In power point?"
marketing director: "Yes that would be great."
me: "Can I see the project proposal?"
product manager: "Yeah sure I'll find that power point."
me: "How would you like me to send you the graphics?"
webmaster: "Oh you can just drag them into power point and send it to me."
What the hell is going on? How can such a simple and crappy MS product be everywhere in this company?
Another thing that really shocks me is that eventhough these managers have almost zero knowledge about any computer application, they can create one hell of a power point presentation. Their ppts are so good that even I couldn't figure out how they did it! Everyone here is a Power Point God. It is in their blood or something, cuz when I try to make one, it just looks like crap.
