its not a presentation
its a "deck"
i fucking hate these people
I think the first time I heard "slide deck" was within the last few years. It was always a (PowerPoint) presentation. I heard "deck" on its own without context (something like "I'm making a deck") within probably the last 6-12 months and had no idea at the time what that person was talking about.
What did you call them before PowerPoint?
Either slideshow or presentation still. Presentation with like an overhead projector with someone changing sheets or manually drawn somewhere.
Slideshow would be an actual slideshow projector with slide film.
