The new way of technical presentation.

Recently, I came across a discussion on presentation and content delivery in the web 2.0(whatever that is) world.
With fast computing resources and huge availability of graphics and other media ( who cares about licenses anyway), the face of presentation has started changing.
If you are still stuck on the old way of textual/animated text presentations(PowerPoint, keynote or whatever), you should take a look at the presentations by Dick Hardt and Lawrence Lessig. Very innovative and capturing.
But the point is you cannot effectively convert any presentation in to this genre. Though you might succeed, the audience may not be ready yet to accept the quick and "on-your-face" mode of delivery. I guess this suits generic introduction kind of talks.
