Critical Analysis of a Current Trend in Technological Communication {Presentation Tool}

            Even though Google Drive’s most significant and most used function is for files and documents, it can also be used to make presentations. This is not just a tool for high school and college students, but also for an employee in the business field. When they need to present a new idea or perhaps even a new product, this is the perfect tool to get the message across to employees. With this helpful program you can create new presentations on your own or even share it and collaborate with others live. Multiple people can be on separate computers editing the same presentation. I bet you’ve never seen that on Microsoft PowerPoint or any other presentation tool. All the changes you make to your power point become automatically saved in your “Drive”. There isn't even a save button.
            Google Slides allows you to choose themes so don’t think that it is boring compared to Microsoft PowerPoint. Even though you may not want to leave Microsoft Office because it is the “mainstream” app to use, you have to at least try it. With it, you can add animations and transitions too, what more could you possibly want?
            With Google Drive, your data and files go where you go. You can work on your projects and presentations even if you aren’t able to be on a home computer or laptop. You can organize, edit and share it from any computer at “drive.google.com”, or on the go with the Drive mobile app which you can easily purchase from the App Store. Get apps for Android and iOS on your cell phone and/or tablet, and then be able to access everything you keep in Drive from wherever you are, whenever you want.
            The best part of it all is that if you have a group project, then you can “share” the document, spreadsheet, or presentation and you can all work on it at the same time on separate computers. Google Docs simplifies the educational life that much more and relieves the stress of splitting up an assignment and working on it at separate times and any other stresses or difficulties that come about.
            Next time you have to work on a presentation to show your office or a professor, but don’t want to spend money on a flash drive, you can sign up and use Google Drive. This easy tool has easy to follow instructions that everyone can grasp. It helps you to get the job done and quickly. Even if your computer shuts down or restarts unexpectedly, you won’t ever lose that information because Google Docs automatically saves all of your information and data for you already. Spread the word because Google Docs is the new Microsoft Office and can make your life so much easier without all the hassle behind saving documents and buying a USB stick/flash drive. The new technology is here so embrace it and join the rest of Google’s users.
