Okay, so are we among 80 year olds who still can't computer, or are we among 20 year olds who either don't use Microsoft Office or are trying to stop using Microsoft branding for the concept of presentations?
Honestly I don't relate to this tweet. Around me at least, it's the 30-40 year old millennials switching the terminology because some of them use Google Slides or KeyNote or a bunch of Figma screens.
I used to work with a lot of low level Executives and in every meeting they'd say something like "add some stats to the deck", without fail my first thought was Magic the Gathering or Pokemon.
I'm 36, I haven't used PowerPoint (or MS Office in general) in 10 years since I switched to Linux and thus LibreOffice, and honestly it wouldn't hurt my feelings if we managed to shake loose of Microsoft's grip on the productivity space. "Word Document" is another one I'd like to see die.
