What would happen if there was no PowerPoint?

Have we become overly reliant on technology to do our jobs as leaders? As leaders we spend a lot of time putting presentations together to brief our superiors. Bullet points and quad-charts are endless. How would our military function if we couldn't organize briefings and presentations with PowerPoint? Would our verbal briefing skills improve? Would our map reading skills improve? Would leaders at higher levels loose the ability to micromanage? Would junior officers and NCOs be more empowered to take initiative and act on their own judgement? Sadly, a world without PowerPoint may only be a dream, but I have a suspicion it may be wonderfully freeing and empowering.

Sir, the remedy for that would be color dry erase markers and a white board.

Shoot, when I was in school we had transparencies and then, later on in high school, we had one of those projectors that had the round thing on top that held a couple of dozen film negatives. I didn't even know what powerpoint was until I joined the Guard in '07 after a lengthy break in service.

When I moved from infantry to intel I had to learn PP. I had a PVT in the class show me the basics just so I could graduate the class. That was the first time I ever felt old. There have been many more times since.
