Google's Gdrive

Search engine giant Google will soon launch a service that would enable users to access their personal computer from any Internet connection making the desktop computer virtually redundant. The GDrive system will merge Google’s all existing web-based services to make them easier to use together. It could kill off the desktop computer, which relies on a powerful hard drive. Instead a user’s personal files and operating system could be stored on Google’s own servers and accessed via the internet.

The GDrive would make it possible to access and update information like emails, photographs, music, documents and spreadsheets from any device with an Internet connection. The novel system is being described as cloud computing, wherein the web rather than the hard drive is used as the place where information is stored. Google experts are said to have begun convincing the world of its benefits. It is believed that the GDrive could cause a major paradigm shift in how we use computers and bring Google one step closer to dethroning Windows on your desktop.
