Slides and multimedia are there to enhance your information. If everything you have to say is up there on the screen, then you might as well email everyone the presentation as a file or send them a PDF of the slides.

The other danger in becoming a mere narrator is that, unless you’re a very powerful and persuasive reader, you’re bound to be less lively and less passionate because you’re focused on reading the words and not on communicating and connecting with the audience.
