Presenter:
Ali Rahimi
First impressions (e.g. organization, overview, personal appearance, body language, target audience)
Great start with a joke about feeling old to get a Test of Time award. Title is great as well, and in the beginning the speaker makes it clear he will be telling a well laid out story. Great use of body language, audience participation (via raising hands to questions) was there.
Use of visuals (e.g. balance of text and visuals, use of colour, assertion and claim evident, use of animations)
There is a fair bit of math, but not the kind that needed to be grasped to understand the flow.
Use of voice (e.g. pronounciation, articulation, pausing, chuning, word stress, speed)
Good flow, pauses were well placed.
Final impressions (what did I learn from this talk - what to do or what not to do)
(This is a classic talk in the field, I would recommend watching it to anyone) The story being told was great, it was divided into 3 chapters nicely. What to do: Speak in a manner that sounds like you are having a conversation individually to each person in the audience.
