PowerPoint is Out, Napkins are In

This video of a Google ad exec highlights a few interesting points:

1. The traditional one-way business presentations using large PowerPoint decks are out. They are replaced by simple, stick-figure drawings done on napkins in real-time, as an interactive dialogue with a customer or client.

2. Although this Google executive has ditched PowerPoint and rediscovered the more simpler approach of napkin-and-stick-figures, he hasn't re-discovered his ability to speak without stringing together business buzzwords ad nauseum.

3. You can glimpse a bit about Google's ambitions and their take on the future of advertising.
