Check out this study of what bothers people the most about PowerPoint  In the online survey, people were asked to list the top three things that irked them most when watching a PowerPoint presentation. Almost 700 people responded.

Here is what they said.

  • The speaker read the slides to us – 62 %
  • Text so small I couldn’t read it – 47 %
  • Slides hard to see because of color choice – 43 %
  • Full sentences instead of bullet points – 39 %
  • Moving/flying text or graphics – 25%
  • Overly complex diagrams or charts — 22%
