Discuss part of the reading of chapter 11
I just want to talk about the overall use of presentation media. The way we as humans take in information is through our senses. By speaking, we are affecting one of our various innate senses. If we increase the number of quality stimulus that we expose at any one time, we could possibly increase the effectiveness of the message of our speech. So, presentation media is a great way to indulge the sense of sight for the audience. When using these types of visual aids such as power point, the speaker should keep in mind the main points as well as some attention getters to keep the audience engaged in the show. Each visual aid should have a solid purpose for it to exist; otherwise it would just divert attention from the main topics. Also, these visual aids should be comprised with a variety of stimuli, ranging from words, to pictures, and maybe real life physical examples. Effective presentation media is a critical part to keeping the attention of the audience as well as providing key credibility and support for the speaker and the topic.

I definitely agree with you. Presentational media is extremely helpful in is getting a point or topic across when used correctly. And as you said, people take in information through their senses so by utilizing more than one of those senses, you are more likely to get your message across to the audience. In the psychology classes I have taken I have learned about the different ways people recall information and store information. The way information is stored is partly based on the way taken in so the more senses you can activate the more connections a person will make to that idea. And of course the more connections made, the easier to recall.
