"Prezi"
Prezi is a
presentation tool program that allows users to create different types of slide
shows with the use of unique transitions, 3D effects and the use of zooming in
and out of text. Prezi uses a virtual
canvas that allows people to show their creative side by making interesting
presentations that they can share with others who have internet connection. It was created in 2009 and has over 20
million registered users.
One major
use of Prezi is for business purposes. Many
businesses use this site to create presentations. It is a way for people to create fun and
interesting presentations that will not lose the attention of those watching
it. Prezi also makes it easier for
employees that are assigned to a project together to communicate with each
other. Prezi is accessible from anywhere
with an internet connection. Therefore,
employees can all access the presentation from virtually anywhere at any time. It also allows them to edit the Prezi from
anywhere as well. Because Prezi is open
to the public, business can market themselves through the use of presentations
on this site. The creator of a Prezi
presentation has the option to make it accessible to the public. By doing so, a company can market themselves
to the entire web through a detailed presentation about their business. However, there can be negative effects of
Prezi for a business because it can be very difficult to learn how to
work. It can be very time consuming if
this occurs.
There are
also many social effects of Prezi. Prezi
does not have to be used only for business purposes. It is often used by people to express
themselves artistically through Prezi's 3D effects, cool transitions and by zooming
in and out of text. People can make a
Prezi on anything they would like and share it with the world. People can also "like" the
Prezi. If a Prezi gets enough likes, it
can be shared on the homepage of their website.
However, this can lead to abuse as there is no censor on Prezi. This means that anyone can have access to any
type of negative news and presentations.
Prezi is
also used for entertainment and recreational uses as well. People can just browse through the Prezi
homepage and look up presentations on any topic for fun. They can learn new information on a topic
that interests them and can communicate with others that are also interested in
the same topic. Prezi's are also just
more fun and entertaining to look at than the traditional PowerPoint. The viewers of Prezi's are often entertained
by them and cause people to want to create one themselves. Prezi's can not only be viewed for
entertainment and recreational reasons, but can also be created for fun as
well. Prezi has been a way for people to
express themselves while also educating others on a variety of subjects. This can lead to abuse though as many Prezi's
created are not good natured and can influence others negatively.
Lastly,
Prezi can also be used for news purposes even though that is not a main
function of it. Prezi allows people to
provide information to each other through the use of presentations. If you want to learn more information on a
certain topic, you can search for it on Prezi and watch a presentation on
it. Prezi allows people to access any
type of information on their website which can be very beneficial to its
users. However, many presentations are
not accurate or true on Prezi and should not be used for professional uses
unless you definitely know the creator of the Prezi is a reputable source. This is one negative impact of news on
Prezi. Overall, Prezi is a great website
and alternative to PowerPoint as it allows users to create interesting, informational
presentations.
