PowerPoint
David Byrne has trumped the Flea's inchoate thought on PowerPoint. Vexed again! At least I get to use the Gettysburg Cemetary Dedication for my Digital Media and Culture course.
In his book and DVD compilation, "Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information," Byrne twists PowerPoint from a marketing tool into a multimedia canvas, pontificating that the software's charts, graphs, bullet points and arrows have changed communication styles.
"I just got carried away and started making stuff," Byrne said. "It communicates within certain limited parameters really well and very easily. The genius of it is that it was designed for any idiot to use. I learned it in a few hours, and that's the idea."
