Pros and Cons of Google Docs Presentation Tool

Google docs is a free web-based word processor, spreadsheet maker, database, and presentation maker. After looking through the google docs and thinking about my own use of presentation tools, I have seen that there are some pros and cons to this program. The most obvious pro is that its free. Another benefit I found is these Google applications seem to be a bit more user friendly than some of the MS Office Suite applications I use regularly. I found it easier to navigate and think that would be helpful to someone who doesn't use a computer as often as I do. Also, it's definitely a positive to be able to have instant access to your documents anywhere you are in the world as long as you have Internet access. It seems very convenient to not have to carry a computer or storage device with you in order to access your work. It's also helpful that you can share files with someone else in order to work collaboratively without having to email attachments back and forth or be in the same room at the same computer. A disadvantage in some scenarios of Google docs presentation tool is that you have to have Internet access in order to use it. If you are on a trip or someplace with no Internet, you are not able to work on it or present to anyone. Another possible con is that someone who is so used to the commands and menus of another program like MS PowerPoint would have to relearn how to navigate which can be frustrating if you have them memorized.
