Sun Microsystems coined and trademarked the phrase "The Network is the Computer" a few years back but today Google is delivering on that premise piece by piece. From a simple search engine to the latest beta release of Google Spreadsheets, Google now provides key services that Internet users rely upon daily.
Incrementally Google has provided products and web services to the masses that have been adopted easier than crack. Who can blame the consumer considering that almost everything is free, always available online and they are really, really, good products! The laundry list of products is incredible and ranges from photo software to a blogging. With the release of Google Spreadsheets, Calendar, Gmail, etc. Google continues to reduce the number of apps you keep on your computer. How long before all you need is just the browser to get to Google to do all your tasks?
