Google Docs Leaving Information Superhighway

Google is taking its popular Google Docs word processor off the information superhighway and into the wild, if you want to look at it that way. Users of the word processor by Google will soon be able to read and edit files when no internet connection is present, however you will not be able to create new documents, at least not for awhile. Google's spreadsheet and presentation applications will soon follow when the update to its word processor is complete, in the meantime you will be able to view these files offline but not edit them. This is a wonderful alternative to Microsoft Word, however with the internet connection cut you will miss out on neat features like team modifying of a document, see if other users are modifying a document and so on. This is a neat feature and will surely have the support of the budget conscious public and college students who need more beer money.
