The Science of PowerPoint Overload

The article ,The science of PowerPoint Overload , talks about the human minds capability to process and store information. The article claims that the conventional way of putting several lines of text with half a dozen words in each is bad, as it causes a kind of info overload for the brain. The article also talks about the fact that the brain is able to process and absorb data in a verbal and a visual form. Unfortunately, we are only able to absorb in one channel at a time. This report also says that you should not be repetitive, include pictures. Another thing is that we should keep our slides very simple, and not overcrowd them with info.
