[Yr11 Information Technology] Powerpoint and DRM

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Here are two IT issues given mention in The Age newspaper worth discussing
in class to promote a discussion amongst your VCE IT students.

   1. PowerPoint Presentations are a disaster - new research shows that
   the human brain processes and retains more information if it is digested in
   either its verbal or written form, but not both at the same time.

   2. DRM killed the home media star - *Digital devices are being hobbled
   by silly restrictions their makers place on use.
