Technology can really change how we use visual aids in presentations, but it also comes with some challenges that can make things hard.

1. Too Much Dependence on Tools: Sometimes, speakers rely too much on programs like PowerPoint or Prezi. This can make them less engaging. Instead of focusing on their message, they spend more time making their slides look nice.

2. Technical Problems: Using technology all the time can cause issues, like programs crashing or files not opening correctly. This can turn a presentation into a real headache.

3. Information Overload: High-tech options might lead to slides that have too much information, which can confuse the audience and take away from the main ideas.

Solutions:

• Make your visual content simpler. Use fewer slides that are clear to support your message.
• Practice with the technology before the big day and have backup plans, like printed handouts.
• Keep the amount of data small and use pictures or charts to highlight the important points without making it too much for the audience to handle.

In short, while technology has great tools for making presentations better, it’s important to manage them carefully to avoid problems.
