I'm 28 and have no idea what a slide deck is. Is that somehow the new term for a PowerPoint presentation?

Ironically, it's a very old term for a powerpoint presentation. Presentations used to be done with actual photographic slides in a projector. They were stored in a deck of slides.

I only know this from Mad Men.

It's a carousel of slides, you heathen.

Carousels came later :P

Hijacking this because you're top comment and everyone is talking about the origin of the term (the thing you load into a projector back in the days of physical slides), but no one's answering the actual question as intended:

"Slide Deck" is the term used for the series of slides shown during a presentation, but "Presentation" refers to the whole performance, including non-slide elements like speeches and demos

A lot of presentations are made today with Keynote, Google Slides or LibreOffice Impress.

And most adhesive bandages aren't part of the Band-Aid brand, but we call them band-aids anyway.

Someday, my friends, presentations made and saved in Markdown will be king, and we can forget about opening slow programs to edit them.

Yes, somehow the world will be a better place when everything is a plaintext document. At least that's how I imagine it.

Incidentally, there was a cool python program for presenting pdfs I used years ago. I wonder if it or similar are still in vogue somewhere.

What's a "web search"? Is that somehow the new term for googling?
