Thing #11 - Google Docs

The idea of Google Docs keeps coming up in my life through many different conversations. I am so happy that I was able to watch the short video to learn more about it. It makes so much sense - having ONE place to work on something instead of having everyone do their own thing.

The biggest thing is that you would not need to wait until you are at your own computer to access something. You could find it from any computer with internet access. It could really free up space on computers with so many files. (How much space does Google have? This could get HUGE!)

I think I'm going to try this with a grant application that a few of us want to write. We have a meeting early next week and I want to explain it to them. It was save us from sending so many versions of the application back and forth.

I don't know enough about it to know if it will be a "threat" to MS Office. Hmm... Wouldn't MS Office need to exist as the original platform? I have so much more to learn...
