This document discusses cloud computing and Google Docs. It provides a brief history of data storage from the 1950s to present day. It then defines cloud computing and describes the three layers of cloud computing: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). The rest of the document demonstrates how to use Google Docs, including creating and sharing documents and presentations, using forms, and collaborating in real-time with other users. It suggests various educational uses for Google Docs.
