While I like a great many of the trends that I see in the presentation community, here is one that I loathe:

"Create a PowerPoint for your presentation."

My disdain for this new expression exists on many levels, but I'll cut right to the chase: In elevating the slide deck to such importance, it threatens to undermine and cheapen the experience of creating and delvering a presentation. It's also unfair to the software, as if it is primarily, or worse, solely responsible for the success of a presentation.
