Slide deck

I'm 28 and have no idea what a slide deck is. Is that somehow the new term for a PowerPoint presentation?

I'm 34 and I've never even heard the term "slide deck". Is that some apple shit?

slide deck

... a what?

As opposed to being like, 60 instead? Cuz that's the demographic I'd think of as using the term "slide deck".

What the helll is a slide deck

Should have called them "overhead projector sheets" and pushed them all into utter confusion.

“Slide deck” is an old person term, not a young person term.

If anything calling it a slide deck makes you sound old.

Accidentally called it a power point and not an open document presentation (the n00bs in my class don't know the difference between Keynote, PowerPoint and Impress)

Can everyone see my screen? Okay good. I put literal paragraphs of stuff into my presentation, and I'm going to read it all to you verbatim. This is much better than email.

Now I can put presentation skills on my resume.

Okay, so are we among 80 year olds who still can't computer, or are we among 20 year olds who either don't use Microsoft Office or are trying to stop using Microsoft branding for the concept of presentations?

For some reason I am now wondering if overhead projectors are still called overhead projectors...

Slide deck sounds like something related to yu gi oh or mtg

Huh. I guess I think of a "slide deck" as the (usually PDF) version that is sent to everyone in the meeting so they can refer to the slides before/after the presentation, and a "PowerPoint presentation" as the live presentation of those slides.

But does anyone younger than 40 even know what a slide is?

I am 27 and never hear slide deck before it is indeed a power point presentation.

I'm barely in my 20s and I don't even know what a slide deck is lol.

And it's a problem to be 40?

We often just call them “charts”, too, regardless if it’s just a wall of text.

My wife is at the stage in her career where this is relevant. When thinking back about the phrasing she uses, when making content for someone else to present she commonly says "I need to finish making these slides". When she is putting together content for her to present herself, she says "I need to finish making this presentation".

All that said to say, I feel like the terms are related, not the same.

Just my two cents.

53 here. Seems like overnight Power Point became "slide deck". I'm just gonna roll with it.

Slide dick

Maybe they meant as opposed to the others who are 80?

PPT!

I asked a Zoomer to send me a PPT and he didn't know what I was talking about.

Edward Tufte, of Information is Beautiful fame, generally advises AGAINST using PowerPoint for presentations largely because of the low information density. Powerpoint, generally, forces you to put a LOW amount of information on the screen which can really be a problem in some situations.

His advice: Create a Word doc and give that as a handout.

Is this something like a slide rule?

I call them pretty computer crayon drawings for management to feel special.... absolutely fuck all important is provided in a power point...I mean..."slide deck"

Posted a picture of a text. This is the new modern?

Only Bri'ish (🤮) say slide deck
