Beamer that from brain.

Hardly begins, the speaker so that the projected PowerPoint slide aloud, we fall into a Vollstasis: Thinking freezes, the body goes into a kind of hibernation mode, provides only awake from. This is not a subjective feeling: studies show that paralyzes Powerpoint understanding.

 

It means that the brain is not in a position to do something to feel no cold, no heat, not even when it is expressed in the brain mass hineinschneidet. Since it is for many of us a crucial event, the first Powerpoint presentation experience - because she is with a feeling hirnigen connected.

This light is magical: with a projector and a presentation software can be half the company to move Wachkoma

He isolates the brain from the rest of the body, the attention Simulating the truth in a kind of hibernation-stasis, a temporary Wachkoma forfeit. The brainstem is just so exactly his duties, for breathing, heartbeat and metabolism should be ensured. Otherwise: tabula rasa.

The Latin translates little man with "empty table," but called it "in a figurative sense" - that teaches us the Wikipedia - "the soul (as the alleged location of the realization of the people) in their original state."

On the wall dynamically scroll the Powerpoint slides, zoom and washed, go into each other fluently.

The light goes on, something pulls the wuschel Flokatiteppich from our head, we press the back and knocking on recognizing the tabletop: Well done, send Prese, very insightful. Recognition nod turn.

Welcome to the world of Intermediate Powerpoint, since the mid-eighties, the world's most widely used tool in order to illustrate complex issues, without them to clarify.
