Word origin
The word 'slides' originated from the Old English word 'slidan', which meant 'to move smoothly'. Over time, the term evolved to encompass various meanings related to smooth movement or presentation. The use of 'slides' in the context of presentations became popular with the advent of projection technology, allowing information to be visually displayed in a sequential manner.
