Thing #18

The online productivity tools such as Zoho and Google Docs allow easy sharing of information and portability. All the team members can collaborate at any time of the day wherever they may be. They allow us to use tools similar to that provided by Microsoft, without the hassle of software compatibility issues, which is excellent.

However, it seems a little slow depending on the capacity of the network bandwidth and the volume of user traffic. I'm also a little concerned that hackers or "phishers" may gain access to my information that is so easily accessible to all. What is the possibility of the document being corrupted? Can it be lost in the virtual world? I guess it's always better to have a backup. Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best. Knowing that my documents are always totally secured will definitely allow me to have a peace of mind when using online tools.
