Google Docs Vs. Everything Else

Hello to all in my future blogosphere!  My name is Joshua, and it's quite nice to see you here following me through my progress as a new college student.  After nine years away from formal education I decided to start again with the basics, and a writing class seemed to be a logical extension of that idea.  I came fully prepared on my first day of class with a pad of paper and a number two pencil only to find out I'd spend most my time in front of a computer!  A few great discoveries have come out of this surprising experience very quickly, though.  All of these discoveries seem to bear the similar name of Google.  With Google Docs I can clean up the mess and clutter of traditional email.  Not only will Google Docs allow me to do away with messy attachments to friends and prospective employers, but it will practically save and organize the materials without my assistance.  The other big improvement on typical email services is the cloud system.  I now have a way to store documents that would be sitting somewhere on my desktop or in one of my folders all in one place as long as I have an internet connection.  Google Docs is my laptop away from my laptop, my home away from home.
