Google Docs Advance Scholastic Achievement

Google Docs has revolutionized the way that people write. It allows many users to edit the same report or paper at the same time. The Internet allows real time access to the document from anywhere in the world. There is so much potential in this type of technology, which hasn't even been explored. I've had the opportunity to use this technology and love it. It makes it easier to make sure the document is more cohesive and the overall voice flows. However, there are some things of which I'm not impressed. After the document is completed, it is necessary to use another program to format it. The formating tools on Google Docs is not user friendly and sometimes doesn't even change when the button is pressed. Another disadvantage is the refresh rate; when many people are editing the document at the same time, it glitches. These are the only major disadvantages that I have come across. In the end this communicative technology is a great benefit to the scholastic and business worlds.
