9. Why?
Because when I'm done, I'm done!
I just finished making this presentation and I can turn
off my PC and go home without thinking about where my
presentation is stored and what file type it is. I do not
need a USB thumb drive and I never once needed to
think about pushing "save". I was able to instantly share
this with my proof-reader even before I was done
creating it, and whenever I have an idea and I want to
add to this presentation, I can pull out my phone and do
it, or ask my proof-reader to do it for me. :-)
I ♥ Google Docs!
