Is Google the new Microsoft? Well, yes and no. Yes they are becoming a monopoly in their field. Does anyone really use a search-engine other than Google? No, because their are also many other options to Google's other functions: Whereis and other map sites, Blogspot, Flickr and others.
I can see lots of uses for GoogleDocs and the like. The ability to access documents from any computer is fantastic. No longer are we limited to staying on a network or lugging our laptops around with us. Especially good for writers sending out their work to their read-through crews. My only worry is security. If someone hacked Google what kind of security do they have?
I've used GoogleMaps before and had great fun and success with it. I especially like the satellite photo feature - I found the house I stayed at in Cardiff!

I also love the portability of google docs. Hadn't thought much about the security. I know you can copy a document. Maybe you could make a copy to a USB as a backup? Just a thought
