Thing #18 - Google Your Office

Open Office and Google Docs each have their place in your technological environment. Open Office is an excellent and free download. It is not as "slick" as Microsoft Office, but it has the functionality that you need. It is also a great way to support what the Internet use to be, a less commercial web, by having Open Office. Google Docs is great!!! As I mentioned earlier in the blog I have worked on a paper with my 82 year old mom in Illinois using Docs. I love the fact that you can share your documents with others. The only drawback of Docs is that it is an online tool and if the Internet is down you can't work on your document....unless you have Open Office  : )
