  2. What are potential disadvantages of presentation software?

    One potential disadvantage of electronic presentations is the temptation to focus on the aids rather than on the speech. Unfortunately, some speakers are inclined to hide behind their presentation aids, focusing on them rather than on the audience. In a speech, the presentation aids should not be the primary focus. The primary focus is the message.
