Dennis Austin, who co-created the PowerPoint software almost 36 years ago which is still being used by millions, has passed away in the US. Austin, 76, died from lung cancer that metastasised to the brain, reports The Washington Post. Released in 1987 by software firm Forethought, PowerPoint was the digital successor to overhead projectors, “transforming the labour-intensive process of creating slides”.
