I've got you covered. I watched the video, and here's what you can now do with Google Workspace:
* Be notified when packages are coming via "e mail"
* Send your own "e mail" to other people
* Organize events by date in a "calendar"
* Write an episode of Stranger Things in a "document", or if you don't happen to own the Stranger Things franchise, write about your viewing experience
* Write down a list of band names
* Sum the number of times a given child poops in a day in a "spreadsheet"
* Take part in a "meet", which is a sort of phone call but with video
I hope that clears it up.
- starkd 5y agoAll for $72/year. I'm pretty sure I could already do all those things.
- AnonHP 5y agoAnd chat. You forgot “chat”! I’m still puzzled at what’s new and what’s different from what people with (free and paid) Google accounts have.
- salex89 5y agoRevolutionary.
- Florin_Andrei 5y agoThe old Google (of Larry and Sergey) is gone.
- hiptobecubic 5y agoIt was gone before they left. They used to poke fun at it. In many ways, the market has matured enough that Old Google isn't viable. Shareholders care about P&L and Google's one major innovation, "ads that work," is industry standard now. Old Google worked because ads made so much money that it drowned out everything else and gave people a lot of freedom to do crazy things. Wall Street wants the numbers.
- NotSammyHagar 5y agoWhat about 'encryption'? It apparently part of it, but the examples were using a plugin written by a third party.
- growt 5y agoGreat, now I have to watch it to see if you're joking about the baby pooping part.
- zyemuzu 5y agoYou'll probably know by now, but sadly he wasn't joking.
- dm319 5y agoWow, this is reminding me of Microsoft's videos on how to throw a launch party to celebrate a new version of Windows. https://youtu.be/1cX4t5-YpHQ https://youtu.be/1cX4t5-YpHQ
- tdeck 5y agoThis all reminds me too much of this joke video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ICp2-EUKQAI https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ICp2-EUKQAI
- Thorrez 5y ago>or do they want to run a program for little kindergarteners to track how many times they poop their diapers every day? https://youtu.be/ICp2-EUKQAI?t=199 https://youtu.be/ICp2-EUKQAI?t=199 Wow, Google literally demos almost exactly that: https://youtu.be/Q_ZPBqVF0_8?t=12 https://youtu.be/Q_ZPBqVF0_8?t=12
- cutemonster 5y agoI started wondering if it's really from MS or maybe a joke but got too bored to continue watching to find out
- HappySweeney 5y agoIt's sadly real.
- MikeDelta 5y agoThis "e mail" thing sounds intriguing. How does the "e mailman" know where to deliver this "e mail", and do I need "e stamps"?
- qbasic_forever 5y agosuch ~~synergies~~ !
- mitjam 5y agoWow this reminded me of this Weird al Yankovic gem: https://youtu.be/GyV_UG60dD4 https://youtu.be/GyV_UG60dD4
- spywaregorilla 5y agoWhat makes a "meet" special is that in a meet, it's socially acceptable to scream while looking at your phone.
- leavenotracks 5y agoThis made my day... ... and saved me watching!
- LegitShady 5y agoYa I watched the video and still have no clue what this does over regular Gmail/docs combo. Also Google's spreadsheet program is dogballs compared to excel.
- jeanloolz 5y agoExcel is certainly superior for analysis etc, but there are plenty of use cases where Google sheets is superior to excel, for instance http api to interact with your sheet. Depends what you're trying to achieve really.
- LegitShady 5y agoI think power query in excel does http and more quite easily.
- jeffrallen 5y agoThat's all fine and dandy, but can I make boring presentations full of bulleted lists? Because missing that would really be a deal breaker for me.
- ineedasername 5y agoNow I can finally start my Stranger Things fan-fic project!
- Sr_developer 5y agoRemove one thing or two and this looks like the script of an Apple computer ad in 1985. Google is an Ad monopoly with a searcher tacked on, and many short-lived projects created to justify the promotions and roles of their overqualified work force. Although judging by examples like this one, I dont think all of them are over-qualified,
- ixacto 5y agoThey need to actually diversify from search and advertising. Gcp was a good go, but isn’t here there. IMO selling tensor compute could really compete, but they are not too into that and pushing this with the cringe execution. Almost as bad as their hardware announcement for pixel devices a couple years ago. You look at goog versus aapl hardware event and the execution is kinda night and day in apple’s favor.
