Don't you hate it... you can change now... when, during a sermon... yeah, next one... you keep getting interrupted. Or worse, when the... ok, change... person giving the sermon keeps needing the PowerPoint slides changed.
It used to greatly annoy me at Balgowlah until they got a handheld slide changer.
At my new church this annoyance has once again reared its head.
Why?
First, constantly informing the techie to change the slides is frustrating. It bothers the person giving the talk and distracts the listeners. Any flow during the talk is lost.
Second, you are shackled to your slides. Normally i don't deviate from what I've got planned, but on occasions i have and this would throw the techie into utter confusion.
Finally (and most importantly), it allows the person at the computer to focus on the sermon, not the slide show.
And... They aren't that expensive, not to mention having a handy laser pointer!
That's one for the suggestion box.
