Is PowerPoint really evil?

According to Edward Tufte, PowerPoint presentations too often resemble a school play-very loud, very slow, and very simple. I must strongly disagree with Edward Tufte because as long as teachers are incorporating fun activities into the PowerPoint presentations such as videos then students are still learning in a interactive environment which helps students learn anyway. Teachers can still  use graphics to help communicate messages instead of text in PowerPoint as well as images. However, I do think that PowerPoint prevents other and perhaps newer technology software such as Prezi from being used because PowerPoint is just so commonly used. So, I believe that it doesn't really matter what kind of software is used, as long as the students are learning it shouldn't matter how the material is presented.
