I already use Google Docs and Google Calendar so this week's assignment was really simple for me! On the calendar, I have three personal calendars that I can choose to either see or not (one is for work, one for personal, and for my U of C classes.) I also share my calendar with three close friends, and I am part of a shared calendar for a project that I'm working on.
Here is this week's question:
• Do you see free online tools like these eventually replacing expensive software like MS Office?
I think it would be fantastic for these free online tools to replace traditional software. Think, for example, about the iPad. Most owners of the iPad will probably not bother with downloading Pages or Word for Mac, if they need to create a doc they'll do it online.
One thing that I think is absolutely necessary is for these products to be compatible with each other. Not everyone will have the same software, and in order for them to be useful for collaborative work or any doc that will need to be shared, it's important that they work with each other.
