Do I (you) like presentations with stats?
I always wondered about the skills a presenter exhibits and the information (s)he presents that attract people. First of all, it is obvious that a good presentation should be an interesting one. Given that I am a lecturer my profession, I always believed that making an interesting presentation is part of making a good one. One of the factors that catch my (and most of the audiences) interest is the amount of statistics presented there.
As much as I know, coming up with statistics about the subject we present is just a couple of mouse clicks away (in this Internet era), I always was attracted to presentation with lots of statistical information. Even though I know I am going to forget most of those stats in no time, how could they interest me more than anything else?
