As diligent undergraduates, we have numerous research papers to write on a (much too) frequent basis; Microsoft Word and the free, open-source program that is Open Office are probably the most widely used platforms on which we compose our dissertations; while they offer a host of benefits such as formatting and solid stability, they have to be downloaded and installed to be utilized.
Now, if you were to use a public computer that has limited administration rights that prevents you from installing programs, you might not be able to do your homework there and then, and by the time you get home you'll probably forget the brilliant ideas you had in your head, due to distractions such as your Playstation 3 or Xbox.
The invention of Google Docs is a fantastic solution to this problem- you can do your work online anytime, anywhere, regardless of the computer you're on, so long as you've an internet connection. The other benefits, as listed on the official page, include:
- Upload from and save to your desktop
- Edit anytime, from anywhere
- Pick who can access your documents
- Share changes in real time
- Files are stored securely online
- It's free!
In my opinion, Google Docs is an extremely useful tool for everyone to compose essays/love letters and communicate project ideas on the go. Yet another awesome service from the computing behemoth that is Google. And no, I'm not working for Google... yet. ; )
