Google Docs

Instead of bring a storage device everywhere you go, you can just use Google Docs. It is a software used to attach documents from your computer to your Google account/email address. The spreadsheets and documents are saved online and you can access them from any computer just by going on the internet. It turns any offline article into an online version. Best of all, its free so anyone can use it. Its stress free compared to emailing all of your document attachments and is really easy to use. If you work in business, it can benefit you greatly. It is very simple to collaborate with co workers, and if you’re not a “computer genius”, there are no complex and confusing menus. Google Docs was very similar to Yahoo Briefcase, but that was shut down. Pretty much if you are good with Microsoft Excel, you will understand Google Docs very well and will use it to your benefit. After several drafts are made to your work, they are all saved to your account and can be worked on and fixed anytime. For Google Docs, you don’t even have to install any software, if your computer connects to the internet, that’s all you need. Even though there are a lot of pro’s for Google Docs, there are always con’s as well. When using the software for spreadsheets, the grids can come offline and hard to position. There are also not many settings to change formatting styles of documents. Sometimes the website can be a little slow, but it always gets the job done. This software is mostly used for business, but can also be used for categories such as: social, entertainment, news, and recreational. It can also be used as an email address, just to talk to your friends and colleagues. You can post links to videos and websites to other friends and do much more. Every one should make an account and use Google Docs; it helps anyone who uses it. I strongly advise anyone who looks to have a future in business to start using this soon because in my opinion, Google Docs will someday be used in our everyday lives, and is today. Overall, Google Docs is a great and helpful software and everyone should use it.
