"I understand why she uses Google.
But why PowerPoint? Yeah, I'm sure the teacher told her too, but I
think it's because of all the Office products it gives her the nicest
looking output the fastest with the greatest amount of flexibility.
Pictures, text, sound, movies, animations, sequences, etc are all
fairly manageable to do in a short amount of time. Word is way too
restrictive in layout. OneNote does presentation poorly (although
outlining text is passable). And alternatives like Publisher are
document oriented. She's not authoring an article to be printed. She's
sharing a story--an interactive dialog. So how about Flash? Way too
complicated. PowerPoint wins."

When I was a lot younger I had a lot of fun making quite complicated animations and pseudo-3D pictures in PowerPoint 97. Not your usual boring business slideshow! It wasn't ideal but it was the nearest thing to what I wanted.
I personally find there's big gaps in some areas of software which practically every software company misses. Trackbacks
