Power Point has it's good points. Unfortunately, most people don't use them. Like in the article, if you need to present a map, and movements across a space or through time, to multiple groups, it's good for that. You don't have to draw the same thing on a white board or chart 10 times. PPT slides dumb down information when you most need to convey detail, and most presenters simply read the bullet points like they tell the whole story.
I recently had a security/information assurance/new hire briefing where they sent me the PPT slides to read ahead of time, and then read them to me... Rather than 50 slides, I could have had 5 pages of actual text and detailed tables that I could reference later and that would maintain they're meaning. Instead, I have 50 pages of mostly blank paper with oversized, bulleted text that doesn't tell me anything.
