Google Apps: Raising the Bar

Link: Google Spreadsheets Adds Gadgets, a Directory of Features. Google Apps just keep getting better and we are ONLY somewhere circa 1982 (in PC historical terms) in the evolution of the "cloud." As a recent convert (to the actual platform as opposed to just the concept) this is exciting stuff! Why? Not because I create or use a ton of spreadsheets. I don't and never have. BUT rather because this is indicative of the platform's maturation and the likely pace at which it will progress. In five years PC's, other than as useful access devices, are going to seem quaint (excepts for a few special purpose apps). Most of what we do from a computing perspective will be "on the wires."

What will this mean for the practice of law? It will be transformative. The seeds are already firmly planted. The early adopters are already well beyond the initial learning curve. Eat lunch or be lunch, the choice is yours!
