Never makes slides too wordy
 You can read
 Faster than I can talk
 It’s information overload
 Lets include a complicated graph too
 It’s boring
 A picture IS worth a thousand words
 After one thousands words you’d be asleep
 Why didn’t I just give this as a hand-out?
 Wow I can type
 Are you glad you’re here?
 Are you bored yet?
 Wake-up
