Just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, now we’re all doomed to enter the era of slideware. Hold on to your Photoshop palettes, kids.

When was the last time you connected with a PowerPoint presentation. And remember, as profound an effect it has on your ability to understand a given concept, migraines do not count as connections. Neither does repeatedly slamming your head into your monitor.
