disadvantages - please help

[Bryony]

i am 15 and doing my ict gcse and i need to write some disadvantages of using
powerpoint and i really cannot hink of any at all...can any one help me?

the biggest one I can think of that has happened to me since I use it almost
daily in teaching math: be prepared with a back up plan! If the electric
goes out, or you have a computer problem such as a crash, or maybe the
PowerPoint will not open.....many problems that could arise--have a back-up

other than that--I can only give all positives, as it adds so much,
visually, to my lessons. I can't say enough positives about it...

PowerPoint is a tool, nothing more. The disadvantage is that anyone can use
the tool, regardless of having the skill to use it properly or not.

What are the disadvantages of hammer? None at all as long as you use it as
a hammer, but when a novice thinks it's a screw driver it's a real
disadvantage. <g>
