Thing #12: The Powerhouse That Is Google

Google is one of the most widely known companies in the world, so it is no surprise that this web tool wears a variety of hats. Google AlertsGoogle CalendariGoogle, and Google Translate are just a few of Google's magnificent children.
Google Translate is one of my favorite internet tools. Having taken spanish for multiple years, this tool and I have had quite the love/hate relationship. Though it sometimes translates a bit too literally, it really is a wonderful resource. All you have to do is select the language you are translating from, type in your text, then select the language you want translate to, and there you have it!
Another Google resource is Google Calendar. This allows you to access your events from you phone and desktop apps. It also allows you to share your schedule with friends and colleagues and send out invitations and keep track of RSVPs. This is perfect for organizing our busy lives, which is always something I am in constant need of.
