I'm 28 and have no idea what a slide deck is. Is that somehow the new term for a PowerPoint presentation?

[–] [email protected] 163 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Ironically, it's a very old term for a powerpoint presentation. Presentations used to be done with actual photographic slides in a projector. They were stored in a deck of slides.

I only know this from Mad Men.

It's a carousel of slides, you heathen.

Carousels came later :P

It looks like you're right. Apparently, some dude on Madison Avenue cooked up that name to help them sell.

For some reason I am now wondering if overhead projectors are still called overhead projectors...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or the fancier "elmos"

Overhead projectors don't exist anymore, they've been replaced by video projectors mounted overhead.

Or smart whiteboard things or actual TVs

The new SMART boards (which is a brand like Kleenex) is actually IFP (Interactive Flat Panel). I work on the sales side of the industry now, but I grew up with, and worked on those SMART boards as my district had them, but they’re technically an interactive board and projector.

Also, if you didn’t know (and mannnnyyyy people in IT/Facilities don’t realize this for some unknown reason) there is major differences between TVs. Specifically consumer and enterprise/commercial grade TVs. Especially around LED/Backlight tested lifetime. Tons of education institutions have IT departments just buying off the shelf TVs. Which is horrifying for the network/unmanaged aspect alone…

Accidentally called it a power point and not an open document presentation (the n00bs in my class don't know the difference between Keynote, PowerPoint and Impress)

Now everyone know you use proprietary software.

But does anyone younger than 40 even know what a slide is?
