Here& #39;re 5 reasons why doing otherwise is a bad idea.

Every audience prefers to hear speakers who& #39;re in control, in power. By taking their slides away, you& #39;re taking their power away.

With each and every slide you& #39;re making them signal that they& #39;re your b**ch, that you run the show.

"Next slide please," is extremely annoying to hear!
Every few seconds, presentation after presentation.

"next slide" commands followed by a pause create a wonderful opportunity for distractions.

The audience is nudged to do something else at the same time.

Telling the right thing under the spotlight is hard enough.

On top of that, they now need to worry
· if you& #39;ll bring up the right slide at the right time,
· they can& #39;t see their upcoming slide and
· they can& #39;t use their speaker notes.

Speakers will use fewer slides (to decrease clicking) but they& #39;ll likely cram them up.

Busy slides that appear in one click are a nightmare!

The audience will read them at their own pace, losing the presenter& #39;s narrative.
What& #39;s your view on giving away slide control to a host?
