Presentation Media

I don’t ever remember going to a public event that had speakers come out and present their information with a presentation. Actually now, thinking about it, I have but it was all based on high school things. I was in Business Academy and we had many speakers and city councilmen come to talk about business and such things. I would say that most speeches should be accompanied by a visual aid because not only does it give the person who is listening an idea of what the speaker is talking about, it keeps the speaker a chance not to totally sway off topic. Since I don’t have a story to talk about with a speaker that was using presentation media, I will use a popular one that is on the internet. Many people know the show Ted. In these videos where they are talking about very interesting stuff, they use presentation media. It keeps the speaker on track, makes the speech very interesting, and gives visual examples of what is being talked about. Personally I do not think that presentation media is something that distracts unless it is very obnoxious. I really like the Ted presentations, I think if speeches were given in that style, it would probably always be an event that everyone looks forward to.
