Google Docs is a free, web bases word processor, presentation and form application created by Google. It allows you to create and edit a lots of documents. Then you can put them in other places. This means that people all over the world can edit on a single document, bringing in outside information. When Google started, it launched this application as two separate ones; Google Writely and Google Spreadsheet. They combined these two application, and added a another one for presentations, and form Google Docs. Google Docs unitizes cloud computing, which means that all this information is saved on the internet and not on the users personal computer. This means that all of these things can be accessed from any computer with internet access. It is a nice way to always have important info with you and you can't lose a website, like you can with a flashdrive. There are many other document sharing cloud computing websites online, but the thing that makes Google Docs so cool is, you don't have to buy it. Unlike other networking sites, Google Docs isn't very social. It's an easy way to send, save and share documents on the internet, but not really to communicate with you friends or family. This has become a new part of technology that has only recently been in use. Who knows where this can go in 5 or 10 years.
