“Hey, have you found the info for our assignment?”
“Don’t ‘kacau’ me, I am ‘googling’ now”
Google is
well known for its search engine, and it has affected our life style very much. Just take the conversation above as an example, do you all feel familiar with the word of “googling”? Yes I think we all do knew it, it brings the meaning of searching. Although this is not a formal or proper English to be used, many people are still saying it, due to the effectiveness and efficiency of its search engine.
Other than its search engine,
Google is also providing many free online services. Below are some of the
examples of services:
Gmail
As compared to other email services,
most of the working person would like to use Gmail as a working life’s email. In my personal opinion, I think that this incident happen is
due to the popularity of its search engine. It has given people a working perspective, where it has
become users’ 1st choice when deciding email services to be used for working. Besides, Gmail offers features to group related message together, and keyword searching through email messages.
Google SpreadsheetIt is a totally free Web-based application, where users are
not required to install it, nor buy it. It breaks the key limitation of Microsoft Excel where it
can be used and shared with up to 10 users simultaneously through online.Google Earth
A collection of zoomable aerial and satellite 3D photo of the earth that enables users to find information linked to geographical location. Through this software, the users are able to search the place they are interested. It eases the drivers when they are searching for places that they did not go before.
Google Chrome
An internet browser, just like what we normally use, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. The different is
its address bar has been modified to Google search engine. Besides, it also
offers a secure browsing, which is incognito window. By using incognito window, the history of website you have browsed will never be saved into computer, which enhances private information security.
Google has also included many others services that can be seen in other website, such as
group, calendar, blog, web-hosting, and more.
Google has been categorized as a
Web2.0 company, where it facilitates communication, secures information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web.
