This week we were looking at a vareity of online document management services, including Google Docs. I think its a very interesting application since it makes it much easier to collaborate on projects with a group and to share information with others.
I am not convinced this is the future of all software unless we seriously have our entire lives and homes wired for the internet - I am not convinced that will happen anytime soon and at a price everyone could afford. I think once businesses, airports, shopping malls, schools, and civic centers offer free wi-fi access to the general public without it being monitored or filtered, software may be an online thing. My local public library has stopped purchasing licenses for Microsoft products and moved their staff over to using Gmail and Google Docs. This could be a great cost-savings measure for smaller organizations, but if this happens en masse, will they start charging?!?
