It's amazing that the thing that is most lost in the majority of public speaking is, like you say, common sense. I would like to hear more of your thoughts. I just added your book to my Amazon wishlist. =) -ewH Ed,

You make great points. It's amazing that the thing that is most lost in the majority of public speaking is, like you say, common sense. I would like to hear more of your thoughts. I just added your book to my Amazon wishlist. =)

If the technology makes sense in a given situation for a given audience, use it. If not, ditch it. Plus, there is no rule that says you must exhibit your slides during your entire presentation. Leave them visible to make a few key points, then black them out to put the spotlight back where it belongs -- on you, the speaker. As with most things related to public speaking, common sense should prevail.
