This much-needed volume simplifies the seemingly arcane world of the Internet and multimedia graphics, making the opportunities and tools provided by the computer available to those who make presentations or give speeches. The author, an experienced teacher and a successful consultant, covers all the basics - how to log onto the computer and take advantage of the myriad of resources on the World Wide Web to receive information and conduct research for writing speeches - and then moves on to describe time-saving, practical directions for creating and using computer graphics and charts in presentations. Also immensely useful are the final sections on using the computer to effectively manage a business and a collection of computer resources, such as web-browser URLs, addresses of software companies, and a glossary of computer-related terms.
