Thing #18: Google Docs

After exploring Google Docs I found myself lamenting: "Why didn't this exist when I was in college?" Or even better: "Why haven't I been using this already?" There are no drawbacks that I can find to being able to access your documents from any computer. It's organized. It saves space on the hard drive. It makes collaborations easy. As an employee it means I don't have to save everything I'm working on at my desk to a flash drive or send it to my e-mail in order to continue working out in the library. For patrons I see only advantages as well. No lost work. No more desperate purchase of floppy disks! (It's amazing to me they still even make those...)
