I am among those who pushes back on death by powerpoint, so I agree with you
strongly. Presentations are very easily supported through completely remote
attendance. Concurrent jabber back-channel discussion among the participants
can often bring out points that are sometimes lost in the foreground presentation.
{Maybe we should dispense with the meeting rooms, just wire the hotel rooms
for GbE, and all be on-site, but "remote". Then the critical criteria for
which city to meet in is reduced to where the best beer can be had. (And so
Prague wins?)}
But, on somewhat more serious note [note lack of :-) above], I have been told
the following features about the deathly powerpoints:
1) provides a record of thoughts for later on.
2) permits non-english speakers to understand what is being said by
other non-english speakers!!!
3) can be pushed through google-translate.
4) can be read ahead of time by chairs and participants so that they
can ask intelligent questions, and/or can allocate appropriate amounts
of time.
