Task #7 Cloud Computing-Google Docs and Dropbox

I hate hate hate feeling like an idiot so I obviously hate a lot.  If I was more like a certain co-worker, I would get angry and bake, but alas I am plagued with unproductive anger.  This task makes me feel like a big idiot, I just can't seem to wrap my tiny brain around the cloud computing concept.  When I read this, "Google Docs was designed as an online document editor. Each document you create is stored in your Google Docs list, which is tied to your Google account. Google Docs also allows you to upload individual text, spreadsheet and presentation documents and convert them to Google Docs format. In January 2010, Google extended the ability to upload to Google Docs to any file type. You can upload any file smaller than one gigabyte to your Google Docs account for later retrieval. Many types of files, including images, videos and text files, can be viewed online in your Google Docs account."  I honestly feel like spraying a fire extinguisher through the book drop in the middle of the night.
Needless to say, I need to improve my computer skills.  I do not use either of these do-hickies.  I guess I need more time to practice each to understand the possibilities.
