I'm 28 and have no idea what a slide deck is. Is that somehow the new term for a PowerPoint presentation?

Ironically, it's a very old term for a powerpoint presentation. Presentations used to be done with actual photographic slides in a projector. They were stored in a deck of slides.

I only know this from Mad Men.

It's a carousel of slides, you heathen.

It looks like you're right. Apparently, some dude on Madison Avenue cooked up that name to help them sell.
