“Google
Docs”
Google
Docs also called Google Drive is an open source program. It allows someone to
make documents with its own version of the many different word programs.
Although they are not exactly the same because, that would be illegal. It
allows you to make documents, pictures, spread sheets, presentation, and forms.
You can share these documents with teachers, your boss, or whoever you want to
see what you are working on.
Google
Drive has affected businesses since it was created. On Google Drive someone is
able to share documents with multiple people. This can be helpful because if
you are working on a business project you can share it with everyone you are
working with and your boss so they can check up on the progress you are making.
Also the different types of programs that can be used helps businesses. A
business can use Google Drive to make documents, slide shows, spread sheets, or
forms. This allows for everyone to be working on one aspect of a project at a
time. Also Google Drive saves the document as you work and work with people
without being with each other. This is more affective because if your computer
just shuts down your work will be saved. Also all you need is Wi-Fi to access
these documents. Since, you are able to work with people without being together
you are able to work more efficiently than having to get everyone together at
one place. Although a negative is that there could be miscommunication caused
by lack of face to face communication. Also if your work doesn’t save you can
lose everything you already had done.
Although,
Google Drive does not really affect someone’s social life. When working on a
project together on Google Drive there is a chat bar on the right side of the
screen. This allows whoever the project is shared with to communicate as they
work. Also since Google Drive is on the internet someone can access it any time
as long as they have Wi-Fi. This allows people to go out to get something to
eat or drink while still being able to access their document on their phone. If
someone is working with Microsoft they do not have this advantage. They cannot
access their document from anywhere they would need their computer or a flash
drive with their work saved on to it. Due to there not being much face to face
contact, Google Drive can cause a lack of social communication.
Also,
Google Drive impacts entertainment but no a whole lot. Since Google Drive has a
sharing aspect a director of a movie can share the script with the whole cast
instead of printing a script for each person their own script. This can save
paper and be a more efficient way of getting every cast member a script.
Although, if the director forgets to share the script with a cast member it
will take him or her longer to learn his lines then the rest of the cast. Also
someone can share media files with whoever they want to. This allows someone to
share new videos and previews of new movies coming out. Although, depending on
who sees the media clips it may not make a huge impact on entertainment.
Google
Drive has a minimal impact on the news. Google Docs can be used to share
breaking news articles with the cast. Besides this Google Docs cannot be used to
affect news.
Google
Drive cannot be used for fun therefore it has no recreational use.
