Abstract :
The author emphasizes that it is now necessary for a speaker to use visual aids, in addition to conventional auditory presentation tools, to get his message across to the `new´ technical audience. It is concluded that, by understanding the basics of human sensory reception, interactive imagery, and human memory, speakers can develop presentations that overcome the obstacles of language, cultural, and technological barriers. Visual aids are essential for the interactive imagery necessary to catalogue and dross-reference new data into long-term memory that ensures retrievability. Interactive imagery enhances recall and provides practically perfect visualization
