Why is PowerPoint being ditched?

An interesting article looking at how PowerPoint (could really relate to digital presentations in general) stifled the discussion participants were looks for.

Here are three statements from the article;

•   "The use of the PowerPoint slides was acting as a straitjacket to   discussion," 

• "we removed the PowerPoint slide, and like a big glass barrier was removed between the speaker and the audience.
• "The communication became a lot more two-way instead of just the speaker speaking at length for 15, 20 minutes. The audience really started to come alive, to look up from their laptop computers and actually start participating in the discussion, which is what we were really trying to foster."
