The key to a good presentation is a presenter who tells an enthusiastic story and makes direct (eye) contact with the audience. But presenters often are a little anxious having the eyes of the audience on them. Therefore they are happy to have the audience look at the PowerPoint slides which they also use as a support for themselves, as a speaking note.
