You read it right. Carmine Gallo's post at BusinessWeek.com is a fairly thorough explanation of how NOT to give a business presentation. From obvious disinterest to calling attention to your own mistakes and amateurish use of presentation tools. Carmine's post is a laugh riot because it's a very vivid description of the presentation from hell. I have to give credit where credit is due and thank the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, our local business organization, for bringing this great link to my attention via their Twitter feed.

I think many people rely on the technology so much that they often miss point 9.

"9. Don't bother with a backup plan. If you need a live Internet connection to demo a site, don't bother making a screen shot of the site in case the connection doesn't work. That way, you'll be at a complete loss for words when the connection fails."

With that said, think about the business opportunity for a tech entrepreneur creating a simple system so the gadgets could talk to each other, e.g. projector and computer. Why don't we have an industry standard for this kind of equipment?
