Wasting $250 Million per Day Due to Bad PowerPoint?

The cost of a poor PowerPoint presentation is staggering. Ian Parker in The New Yorker magazine states that according to Microsoft estimates, there are more than 30 million PowerPoint presentations made each day. If we assume some relatively conservative meeting parameters of four people per presentation, a half-hour presentation on average and the wasted time due to a poor presentation is one-quarter of the presentation time, we arrive at a waste of 15 million person hours per day. At an average salary of $35,000 per year for those attending the meeting, the cost of that wasted time is a staggering $252 million and change each day.

Neumu
An interesting publication. Mainly on music, although there's talk of other arts as well.
"Neumu is where you will find the work of artists following their creative vision. You'll find writers taking chances, experimenting with the way they communicate", the editor-in-chief Michael Goldberg writes - you might know him as the founder of Addicted To Noise (ATN) in 1994.
