PowerPoint is a powerful presentation software that allows the presenter to control how the audience will perceive the topic.
It allows the presenter to give a presentation that is straight as an arrow, interactive, or full of rolling fun and innovative tricks.
It also allows the power to control what the audience sees – all at once or in the order displayed
