Keynote is a presentation tool designed by apple for their phones and tablets.  It is designed specifically to accommodate touch screen devices and can also be used on Mac computers.  Users can access and share their presentations on different devices, and their is nothing lost from the projects when switching from an IOS tablet/phone to a Mac.  Keynote is also compatible with Microsoft PowerPoint, as Keynote documents can be saved as PowerPoint files, allowing users to easily work together with people that use PowerPoint.  Keynote also allows its users to make high quality slide show effects on their projects, including reflections, frames, charts, transitions, color effects, and much more.  It is extremely easy to share Keynote presentations with anybody, as the drop down menu allows users to send the presentation via email, or send a link through messaging.
Keynote can be beneficial for businesses to use in presentations.  It offers many templates for presentation style, and a large amount of these templates are designed for professional work.  Many offices use PowerPoint for presentations instead of Keynote, but that does not limit Keynote users’ ability to work from home.  Keynote allows users to save their presentations as PowerPoint files, allowing them to work on presentations created at work, and create presentations for work at home.  Keynote is also easily shareable.  Through email, it can be shared with any bosses, colleagues, clients, or potential clients that might need to see the presentation.  Keynote is a great tool for businesses to use.
Although it is not specifically designed for social use, Keynote can be a cool thing to have fun with.  People can create presentations on any topic they want, and can use any template design they want to.  This really allows the creator of the project to have freedom to use his or her imagination to create a project.  Doing this can be very entertaining.  Projects can be shared with anyone, and for presentations made for fun, you can share them with your friends for a good laugh.  Also, your friends can send you presentations that they made for fun.  Although it is not really designed for social use, it is possible for people to use Keynote as a source of entertainment and fun.
Although Keynote is  great presentation tool, it can be abused.  For example, someone can use the high quality graphics that Keynote offers to distract people from flaws in their presentation, and make whatever they are presenting to seem better than it actually is.  Other than covering up weak points in presentations for products, services, and business plans, there is really no way someone can use Keynote to harm other people for personal gain.
