how would you communicate information and questions with screenshots and simple graphics? what's the better way?

word docs are, well, done in Word. enough said.

plain text doesn't have graphics

PowerPoint is a simple slideshow tool to put info into one file without using multiple tools. certainly saves us a ton of time because we can just fire off a power point that took somebody 45 minutes to make (30 of which was finding and documenting the concerns and would have to happen anyways) instead of put a dozen people into a meeting and force an on the spot answer. and then we get written responses, so we don't have to separately document a decision being made.

edit: I guess I should add the context that I'm not in the line of work that the meme is addressing. I'm in an engineering related field, and my meetings and discussions are not businessy things. they're technical
