Edward Tufte makes a very convincing case that in the case of
powerpoint, the medium certainly influences the message:
The NY Times ran an article on PowerPoint and the deterioration of
public speaking a few years ago, before Tufte started pointing
out the problem, and the article had a photoshopped photograph
of Martin Luther King standing in front of a projected slide.
The slide heading was "I Have a Dream," and the body of the slide
was "The dream consists of:" and a bulleted list of items.
However, while slides do tend to lead to a presentation-type
meeting format, I think there are other factors substantially
contributing to that, as well.
