Power Point can actually be useful if it's not used to read something people can read for themselves, which I call "Power Pointless." As a speaker, I would do Power Points and accompany it with the paper presentations that people could take notes on, but I would leave key slides out of the paper presentations thus allowing my audience to be more engaged and attentive. Eventually, however, I found that paper and pen still work most effectively and I dropped Power Point altogether.
I am actually living this strip. Putting together this presentation which is now 50 slides long. I wonder if the presenter plans on handing out "no doze" during the the meeting.
