Thing 18: Online productivity tools

I chose to set up an account in Google Docs, and found it surprisingly straightforward and simple to use (although I wasn't trying to do something all that complicated). I created a document, edited it, saved it, and retrieved it again, all without a problem. On the surface at least, Google Docs does seem like a product that could take the place of Microsoft Office or other software-based productivity tools, especially since with Google Docs the user would not have to be concerned about different versions of software when using different PCs. Google Docs appears to be a tool which is flexible and universal in its uses.
