A recent article by Jerry Weissman on Forbes.com entitled "Vinod Khosla's Five Second Rule" essentially told me that my presentations would never pass muster for Mr. Khosla. In the article, Mr. Weissman states:
"[Mr. Khosla] puts a slide on a screen, removes it after five seconds, and then asks the viewer to describe the slide. A dense slide fails the test -- and fails to provide the basic function of any visual: to aid the presentation."
Here's a link to the article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jerryweissman/2011/10/26/vinod-khoslas-five-second-rule/
I'm going to have to apply this rule to my next presentation to see if my slides can be improved...
