I totally agree -- PP should be used as an aid, not as a documentation of everything you're going to say. I recently had to sit through a Powerpoint presentation that was little more than taking information and adding bullet points. The presenter pretty much just read the slides. In the end, many people in the meeting stopped listening, and then all the information ended up being repeated afterwards when people were given the chance to ask questions. In the end, the entire presentation was a waste of time because the info had to be represented in a way that everyone could digest.
PP can be effective, but only if you're going to incorporate some type of multimedia content into the presentation or you have some other reason why having one will be really powerful. PP is not just an excuse to show that you know how to find silly graphics online and know how to use a projector.
