Prezi

            Prezi is like Google Docs but for power points. Prezi has more features and is cooler than Microsoft’s PowerPoint. There are free Prezi accounts and ones that cost money. The more you pay for your Prezi the more features you have available. There are 26 million registered users on Prezi and 500 Prezis viewed online.  

            Prezi has impacted the business industry. Business workers can make different presentations with different features. This allows them to make different looking presentations for every project they make. Prezi helps someone’s project stand out from the rest. Prezi catches the audience’s attention better than Microsoft’ PowerPoint and other sources that can be used for presentations. Prezi has slides with different animations for example it allows someone to zoom in the slide. This allows business to make affective presentations and impress different clients. This can allow business to sign more clients because of their impressive presentation. Although someone may get carried away and over use the animations. This could cause the presentation to become too long and bore the clients, ultimately leading to the client deciding to sign with another firm.

            Socially Prezi doesn’t make a big impact. Prezi allows the public to view your presentation. This allows everyone to see your presentation and the different animations that can be used. Although, this could be a disadvantage because someone could copy your exact presentation. This could have legal implications because plagiarism is illegal.

            Prezi can be used to impact the entertainment industry. People can make presentations on movies, media networks, and other forms of entertainment. Someone can make a presentation saying how good a movie or video game is. Although someone can also say how bad the movie or video game was. This information is available for the whole world to see it and can be used as positive or negative advertisement.

            On Prezi someone can also make a presentation about news or current events. These presentations are available for the whole world, or any Prezi user to see. This could cause false news to be spread or bad news hurting a company’s reputation. If the news that is spread is false and over a million people see it, it could hurt a company’s stock value.

            Prezi can also be used for recreational purposes. Since they have so many different animations and features, Prezi is more exciting to watch then PowerPoint. This means people could watch Prezi for fun if they wanted to. Although, people who make a Prezi presentation for fun or for school could get carried away and use too many of the features. This could make the presentation too long and result in someone getting a worse grade then if they did not use that many animations.
