Convenience…?
Google Desktop Search
While typing away at the coffee shop or sitting at your desk at work, have you ever needed a file that was stored only on a home computer so badly that you would gladly store copies of every file contained on that PC on a server at Google headquarters in California?
If so, have you ever heard of a flash-drive?—these little devices with oodles of space to hold essential files that need to be transported wherever their creator goes. How is giving Google access to everything on your computer more convenient than carrying one of these things?
Yes. You are right about the potential of the Flash Drive. I’m sure a great many persons know how much more computer “stuff” can be accomplished with one of these items. They are ubiquitous because when there is a sale on them they are gone quickly. And then perhaps people lose them before they actually use them much. I applaud this heralding of the flash drive. Thank you.
