A cousin in law (Ms. Post might not agree that there is somebody like a cousin in Law) A cousin in law of mine is 11 years old. She has this fascinating hobby, which is Powerpoint Presentations. Yes, real Powerpoint. Many of us have to use powerpoint to pitch ideas and it does not seem like a likely candidate for a hobby. A bit like turning going to the dentist into a hobby. I sometimes even call Powerpoint Weakpoint for that reason. This cousin (and I am not giving away the name here), has great fun with the application though. She makes these almost professional presentations all with funny transitions and with great sound effects. She really makes Powerpoint look pretty cool. When another cousin (22) asked her how long it takes her to make a presentation, she said something quite profound (and funny)... "A day. ...like, an hour".
Which shows that the future is definitely here. Forget 40 hour workweeks. The 5 hour workweek is here. Computers and Powerpoint make it possible. (How many hours did you really, honestly work on a project today?)
