ctech - 041 - cr: computer technology / unit 8: presentations

1. according to seth godin, what is the reason we do presentations?

to make a point, to sell one or more ideas
to keep our audience awake
to give the audience something to look at instead of you
to keep our audience taking notes

1. why would you want to use cut and paste to move objects within a slide instead of copy and paste?

copying objects can reduce picture quality.
copying an object can change its formatting.
copying only moves objects from slide to slide.
copying creates unwanted duplicates of objects

Explanation:

For question 5: Seth Godin emphasizes that presentations are about communicating ideas effectively. Making a point and selling ideas (whether to an audience in a business, educational, or other context) is a core purpose. Keeping the audience awake is a by - product of a good presentation, not the main reason. Giving the audience something to look at instead of the presenter is a misinterpretation of visual aids (which should complement the presenter, not replace them). Keeping the audience taking notes is also a secondary aspect.
For question 6: When using Cut and Paste, the original object is moved. With Copy and Paste, a duplicate is created. If you want to move an object within a slide (and not have an extra copy), Cut and Paste is the right choice. Copying objects usually does not reduce picture quality (unless there are specific software - related compression issues not indicated here). Copying an object typically does not change its formatting. And copying can be used within a slide as well as between slides.

Answer:

1. to make a point, to sell one or more ideas
2. Copying creates unwanted duplicates of objects
