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

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.

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

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.

I’m the first person to say “this meeting should’ve been an email”, but often it’s because I’m slated as “required” on something I’d otherwise be a Cc on.

The reason for those, though, is because people don’t read their emails. Especially not the long winded verbose ones that actually explain things.

You want to tell people things, put it in an email. If you want them to understand it, call a meeting.

I had a week long training course, I read the slides the night before to make sure I would absorb the material well and have a decent shot at passing the test without much anxiety... MF spent a week reading the slides to me that I read the night before...

You’re literally on /c/WhitePeopleTwitter. Do you expect them to retweet it and just @ the community or something?
