Google Docs

I tried out Google Docs today.

This is a neat idea; having documents accessible from any computer because they are stored by Google, not on the computer where the document was created, or a network server. Indeed I have read newspaper and magazine articles that state that services like Google Docs are the wave of the future. I believe the concept is called "cloud computing".

In its present version Google Docs will not appeal to everyone. I counted 11 available type fonts. The one I use for my monthly library board report, Bookman Old Style is not among them. Still, I think most people would do just fine using Google Docs.

I believe that cloud computing could become very popular relatively soon, if businesses find that it saves them money because they do not need to buy and maintain as many servers as they presently have.
