Posting on Google Docs

While I like the idea of contributing to a large group project, I found Google Docs to be more or less a pain in the neck. Though my first impressions weren't bad, I'm noticing more and more, as I use it for personal things, that Google Docs is prone to crashing, deciding not to save, or sometimes not opening at all. Or, it could just be Kean's firewall. I'm not enough of a tech junkie to be sure.

Of course, it's a good idea and I understand why we're using it. But I have absolutely no place in my heart for graphs of any kind, especially ones that require me to copy and paste web addresses.

Computers are confusing. So is the internet. I like nice sites like blogger. Sites that do all the real work for you. But, even then, the web has limitations. Nothing beats meeting with someone face to face, regardless of whether it's a project or something else. When we're talking humanities, I think this rings especially true.

Something that I'm beginning to notice about myself is that, despite being somewhat of an introvert, I need to physically be with other people to get anything done. Being able to trade documents back and forth online is cool, but if I can't work in the same room as the rest of the team I'd much rather just do everything myself.
