Next Slide Please
a serious investigation of a seemingly trivial matter
$ ./advance --why
Before we start…
Flashing images
If you are photosensitive, now is the moment to step out.
How many of you
ever gave a presentation?

How do you go to
the Next slide?
OK, we got the how
Where is the
Next slide?
Next is to the right
(right?)
But…
التالي
اقرأ من اليمين إلى اليسار
(read from right to left)
التالي إلى اليسار
(next is to the left)
And…
次
次のスライド
(the next slide)
下へ進む
(go downward)
So where is
Next?
Wait!
There’s more.
This is a slide
This is another slide
This is yet another one
How can we tell
we moved to the
Next slide?
Is it the animation?
Is it the animation?
Is it the animation?
Is it the animation?
Is it the colour?
Is it the colour?
Is it the colour?
Is it the colour?
Is it the content?
Is this a new slide?
What about this one?
(this one?)
Is it me pretending to go
to the Next slide?
Is it me pretending to go
to the Next slide?
Is it me pretending to go
to the Next slide?
Is it me pretending to go
to the Next slide?
Or is it a combination
of everything?
Do I even need a
Next slide?
Maybe this entire presentation
is just one slide!
Moving on…
When should we go
to the Next slide?
Is it when the
speaker decides?
Click
Or after a set
amount of time?
Or by voice command?
waiting
What if I want the audience
to decide?
But that was one person
from the audience
What if I want the audience
to collectively decide?
0 / 5 clicks to move on
Or maybe I want something
completely different
Break the rules
But first, you need to understand
what the rules are
Analyse
Advise
Design
Realise
Validate
You can apply this to
big ideas…
…or very very small ideas
(like how to go to the Next slide)
Congratulations!
You found a new way to go to the Next slide
How would you go to
the Next slide?
