Sundar Pichai and Google slide designers are creating brain-friendly presentation. Scientists says that it is impossible to multi-task as well as to think. Brain cannot do two things with equal amount of importance. On coming to presentation, the viewers can’t read the text on screen and listen to the speaker.
Many Books about the Brain suggest that “We are incredible at remembering pictures. Hear a piece of information, and three days later you’ll remember 10 percent of it. Add a Picture and you’ll remember 65 percent of it.”
