Google Docs and Google Drive tutorial and demo, including collaboration and file sharing, voice typing, language translation, and optical character recognition (OCR).
Google Docs is free to use on a Google account, and can be accessed via docs.google.com or drive.google.com (I always access via the latter).
If you’ve curious, you can download the preface and first chapter of my 2010 book “A Brief Guide to Cloud Computing” here: explainingcomputers.com/bgcc.html
And my most recent cloud computing video is here:

Please note that Google did not ask me to make this video, and nor did they pay me in any way to make it. What a sad world we live in that I feel the necessity to write this.
