Google Keep


Technology makes our life simple and at the same time a bit complicated. Simple because there is so much information available to us and it can be accessed and stored in so many ways, and complicated because, more information makes it harder for us to remember and manage things so quickly. Gadgets and new technologies are fun to use. One such app is, Google Keep.
‘Google Keep’ is a web based application on which you can store your notes, and then access it from your computer or your cell phone. This app makes things easier for you to remember, all you need is an internet connection and a Google account. Here is a brief video:
 
 
Making Notes:
Google Keep has many amazing features such as, the ‘quick note’ feature which allows you to type a quick sentence or two. Another feature is the ‘text note’ where you can write as much as you want. You can also make lists such as: a grocery list, to-do lists, or any other kind of list. There is also a ‘picture’ feature, where you take a picture and it loads into a note, you can also add text to the picture so you can remember why you took it. You could create an ‘audio note’ by recording your voice. This audio is also translated into text so you can read it.
Organising Notes:
You can colour-code your notes to help you find them when you need it. You can also swipe the notes you don’t need to archive. You can turn a note into checklist by adding checkboxes. You can also move your notes around to organise them in order. Here is a video about it:
 
 
It is really hard to remember things without writing it down or recording it somewhere. I feel that note taking has become much easier and advanced than before where there was just a paper and a pen. Google Keep has taken it to another level where you can take notes in many ways and store them in a central place on the internet. With the help of Google Keep, remembering things has become much faster and easier. This app will make everyone’s life much easier and stress-free. All your thoughts would be stored in an efficient manner, so it would help you be organized. 

Even though Google Keep has amazing features, many people think that it Google has copied Evernote and that this app is a waste. On the other hand, some people think that it is better than Evernote since it has better features. I personally think that Google Keep is really nice since it not only lets you take notes in many ways it also allows to access your notes whenever you want and from wherever you want. Google Keep is a wonderful app to help you be organised. I would definitely get this app, because it will help me a lot. All in all, I think that Google Keep is really a very useful app for anyone who uses it.

  2. I for one believe that this app will be very propitious in invigorating or simply sustaining crucial skills like organization and responsibility in the minds of many, especially adolescents. This is because the majority of teenagers in this day and age are in desperate need of such skills. To illustrate my point, many are too lazy to record daily work in their agendas or calenders (I can say this for a fact since I didn't use my agenda for the past five months) while others don't plan out their weekend study schedules effectively. With an escalating obsession with the latest technology in the teen demographic, this app would really appeal to them and simultaneously enhance their planning and organizational skills. In fact, Google Keep would also generate good company revenue since most teens are very susceptible to jumping in the bandwagon of a new product.
