Making a good impression: how modern technology can help you get your point across.
Three-quarters of the participants in a personal computer (PC) workshop at the CLMA 1994 National Meeting had had no experience with software available to prepare high-quality presentations. Although 96% felt they would be more effective in their positions if they knew more about computers, and two-thirds had PCs on their desks, 70% indicated that lack of support and education had inhibited their progress in this area. The field of presentation software and hardware is more complex than simple word processing and spread sheet applications, because peripheral issues such as film recorders, graphic file formats, and the human factor are involved. This article attempts to demystify the technology and to educate laboratory managers so that they will be able to take advantage of the numerous tools and enhance their ability to communicate effectively in a variety of circumstances.
