Thing #18-Google Docs

For this exercise I explored online productivity tools by signing up for a Google Docs account. It was very exciting to see how easy it is to use! I can see the major advantages of it. Ie. you can access it from any computer with an Internet connection and don't have to worry about floppy disks or USB sticks etc. It had pretty much all the options you have when using Microsoft Word. Very easy to organize, rename files etc. You can upload and share documents on the Web. Also there is a wonderful supply of templates one can choose from. It includes a search feature if you are looking for a file that you created. I can see this as a definte advantage for when the library computers do not have floppy disk drives anymore and a patron forgets, or doesn't own, a memory stick for a USB port.
