Personal Computers And Powerful Preseritations, J. Douglas Gibb

Journal of International Information Management

Some of the best public speakers use personal computers to prepare their talks. They keep a file of speaking materials: quotations, examples, statistics, stories, poems, visual aids, and structured experiences. These items which they keep ori a disk become nuggets of thought and are like money in the bank—always ready when theiy need them. Speaking is not communicating unless some of these materials are used.
