David Byrne on PowerPoint and undesign
"Having never used (PowerPoint) before, I found it limiting, inflexible, and biased, like most software. On top of that, PowerPoint makes hilariously bad-looking visuals. But that's a small price to pay for ease and utility. We live in a world where convenience beats quality every time. It was, for my purposes, perfect."
David Byrne, in a hilariously pretentious article for Wired. But hey, what else would you expect? That's why I like David Byrne.
Anyway, echoes of the importance of undesign, or imperfection perhaps - components of adaptive design - which PowerPoint is a classic example of, imho.
