This was one of the first major web-based programs to launch and running from the cloud has many advantages in this day and age. Google Docs is a core part of the Google suite and being cloud based its a serious (free) alternative to Microsoft Word and Apple Pages. Not only will you get faster and boost productivity, you’ll also learn about the huge scope of functionality from dictation to commenting to spinning graphics. Do you want to fire that document back at the speed of light? With comments and formatting that Ally Mcbeal would be proud of? If you learn Google Docs shortcuts you will. At some point someone is bound to share a Google doc with you (if they haven’t already).
