The navy has been dropping PowerPoint for web/data base centered briefings for some time now.
(from 2004)
"Direct database presentation is pushing PowerPoint out of the way for a U.S. Navy fleet commander. A pilot project for the Second Fleet has changed the admiral's briefs from static factual displays to near-real-time Web-based presentations that allow users to access in-depth information through extensible markup language, or XML.
This step is the information equivalent of going from black-and-white imagery to color. Instead of merely being presented raw facts, the commander can delve into the briefing data to learn the subtle shades of information that make up the briefing points."
at the normal 60 - 80 hour work week that most associates are supposed to put in, that's about $50 - $67 per hour that each associate makes -- after at least 7 years of college, with its requisite college loans of probably $300,000 that they have to pay out. Anyone want to trade places?
