Incredible to think about that we got it right the first time (with email) and still had to spend the last 20 years complaining about centralized social networks.

I really do want to point out, Gmail is gonna get a massive lead as time goes on.
Doing parental consent forms for my schools library, most of the parents email were yahoo, Hotmail, etc. but EVERY SINGLE student email was Gmail, with the exception of like 10 out of (at least) 300 pages

(edit: to clarify, 300 pages is 300 emails)

There really is no competitor to Google Drive’s online collaborative document and slideshow editing right now. Apple and Microsoft have made some weak attempts but until their software works fully in a browser and is 100% free to get started, it won’t catch on. It not just about email.

I meant the productivity suite not just file sharing. I edited my comment to try to make it clearer.

That's because these students were brain washed on that garbage.

I wonder how much of that has to do wtih chromebooks.

Android seems far more likely cause.
