It is hard to recall if there were such things as presentations before the digital revolution began. There have to have been, but certainly not in the format that we know today. Presenters must have stood before their audience with nothing in their hands other than a piece of chalk, while they wrote their key points on a blackboard. And I remember clear plastic pages that were shown with an overhead projector.  It must have been difficult to understand and even more so to follow. Nowadays, it is hard to imagine any presenter arriving to make a presentation without a laptop, sometimes a mobile projector and a laser pointer. Sitting safely and snugly on the hard disc on the lap top will be a PowerPoint presentation, either based around a standard template or specially designed suit a specific audience. The presenter of today has to stand before their audience confident that the technology that he has at his or her disposal will allow for a more effective presentation.
