Sometimes tech presentations make me feel really bad for the person giving it. They are up there trying their best but clearly don't have the skills to do more than just communicate information but still try to make their presentation cool and fun and it just falls flat.

Anyone can be cool, but not everyone can be cool on demand or on stage.

Though on the other hand, just because a presenter can pull off the cool factor, it doesn't mean what they are presenting is actually cool. The coolness of a presentation has no correlation with the coolness of what is being presented, unless that coolness is just information about the product (though even then, they are probably skipping over the flaws and enshitification).
