Well, Here goes.

Using GoogleDocs, and trying to post to my blog. Simultaneously!

While the concept of online applications is truly interesting, I really don't see myself using any of them. Ever. The idea of being able to access my documents from anywhere is nice, but not applicable. At least, not for me. Greater than 95% of the time I spend on the computer is one my personal machine, which is where I do all my word processing, spreadsheets, and the like. The slim margin of time spent on other machines is for nothing more intensive than checking email. For me, the ability to access my documents from anywhere is a non-issue. All of my documents are in one place, true, but that place is the only place I ever need to access them from.

I can see how it might be more useful for calender and scheduling applications, but again, you need access to a computer to, well, access them. My own personal calender consists of a pad of paper. In my pocket. It's always with me, it has no turn-on lag, and the battery never dies, because there isn't one. I'm just a big fuddy-duddy, but I've already blogged about the fact that I am not always aligned with my hyper-connected information-hungry generation.
