Why Use SmartArt in PowerPoint?

These days presenters have to go the extra mile when they create a digital presentation to accompany their talk. By that I mean that slide shows of old contained mostly facts, usually in bullet form, (can we spell b-o-r-i-n-g?) and today the audience wants more than just lists of items. So, what does a presenter do? He gives them a graphic representation of those old bullet points. This is done using SmartArt, which is the new name for all the diagrams that you can create in PowerPoint.
