Power Point curious observation

[Joanne Proctor <joproctor@COX.NET>]

Hi,
  This isn't really  a tech question, just something that occurred to me
this week.  We had two people from our State Dept. of Ed. talk to the
faculty the other day and one of them used a Power Point presentation and we
were given handouts that were actually of the slides.  It occurred to me
that at virtually every power point presentation I've attended the same
thing has happened.  Now, I'll admit that at a few I've used them to take
notes but I am wondering why so many do this. Is it done only for adult
audiences or do people do it for students too?  Anyway, I got to wondering
and thought I'd ask you all what your experience has been with this
phenomena since supposedly we're moving to a "paperless" society (yeah,
right - that's why we overran our copy machine contract by 400,000 copies
last year).
Just some late night musings.
