    “Slide deck” is an old person term, not a young person term.

    If anything calling it a slide deck makes you sound old.

        It’s like calling your remote a “clicker”. A term that is still used but only by the old crowd.

            Their origin is old is the point. They refer back to an old technology and no longer applies since todays remotes don’t click. I think a “resurgence” is going a bit far.

            Everything is cyclical. My mum took the piss out of my baggy jeans in the early 00s cos they looked like 70s bell bottoms.

            Skinny jeans replaced them but hey ho - baggy jeans are coming back again!

        For sure especially anything related to technological advancements.

        Slide deck refers to the old film projectors, which no one uses anymore except old people. So of course youngsters will have zero clue what a slide deck is. There is no use for this term anymore and it’s dying along with its technology.
