The Gettysburg Powerpoint

The Gettysburg Powerpoint is an excellent satire on the format of powerpoint in the field of academic discourse. It reveals that powerpoint has actually set back the academic discourse a great deal.

Methods

1. Revealing what the Gettysburg address would have looked like in powerpoint. In essence, it emphasizes only the key concepts without any sense of nuance.
2. Placing the actual speech at the end, therefore contrasting the two practices.

Conclusion

The Gettysburg Powerpoint reveals the fallacy of the powerpoint format. Powerpoints sacrifice the beauty and nuance of speech for the efficiency of a business proposal.
