Having the technology that is needed to succeed in a university is seldom inexpensive. There is always the latest lap top, Word version, and Microsoft. Not to mention if you will buy a PC or a mac. Keeping up with it is sometimes very difficult. It gets worse when you finally understand the application and they "upgrade it." This happened to me with the latest word. I knew word like if it was the back of my hand and then it was changed in 07. Not kidding, when I say it took me half an hour to begin typing a paper because they moved everything. It was because I did not realize that the bubble on the left hand side was the new file tab. Although some say the new application made it easier for me it was more difficult.
I think Zoho writer and Google Docs will finally be its competition. One company may finally lose their monopoly. I explored both sites, and they are easy to use. Not to mention they are free. No need to worry if computer crashes, because your documents are online. I have my research paper in google docs just in case anything happens to my computer. Better safe than sorry!!! Also since they are online you can access it from any computer. I think the best feature is the instant collaboration when the documents are shared. This feature can put a smile on people's faces in terms of group projects. Everyone can share and collaborate. I hope that schools begin to use this feature because then students would not have to spend so much money to keep up with the latest word application.
