Google Drivageddon and Docsapocalypse are here: Why I’m typing this in Microsoft Word

Google Drivageddon and Docsapocalypse are here: Why I’m typing this in Microsoft Word. John Brandon. Computerworld.
     Article about a writer unable to access documents on the Internet when there was an outage on Google. These outages may seem minor, but they are not if you cannot access the content you need.  The author also had "some of my documents in a backup saved to a hard drive, which is a good thing. What’s not a good thing? Having a total lack of control over the situation. None." But this outage is a wake-up call to save every document, not just a few, to another place. "It’s time to not put every egg in the Google basket."
[A good example of why we need multiple managed copies. -cle]
