Snippet from the article:
Stage 1: Ridicule. The executives initially think these technologies are silly. In the 1980s when I started using email, one of the executives in my company made fun of me, because email didn’t provide (he thought) a permanent record. “Besides,” he said, “Not everyone has it.

The problem with PowerPoint:-
Slide 8 in this article says it all -
500 million users worldwide (most of them untrained)
30 million presentations made daily (too much, way to much)
Average session - 250 minutes (you gotta be kidding!)
