Are the PowerPoints helpful?

Basically, technological advances are intended to increase productivity by saving time and effort. However, there is a term called counter productivity. It means that new technology is making us less productive. In this article, we will introduce some of the things that can become counterproductive depending on how they are used.

PowerPoint

PowerPoint is used in meetings to explain things clearly, make it easier for everyone to understand, and save time. However, sometimes we are so focused on making PowerPoints pretty and cool that we end up spending a huge amount of time creating PowerPoints, and our productivity suffers.

Cars

Cars are originally purchased to get around faster and save time. However, when you buy a car, you have to pay for the car and its maintenance, car insurance etc. To earn that money, you have to work. And working means exchanging your time for money. All of the above means that, in the end, buying a car does not save you that much time.
