Reaction Paper for GDaysX Event

            The GDaysX event happened last November 23. The talks that I witnessed where the first three talks and I witnessed the first few minutes of the fourth talk. They were about Keynote, Google for entrepreneurs, Communication tools for business, Google drive and Youtube for your business.

            I felt like I learned a lot from the talks because even if I knew some of what they were talking about beforehand, I still learned something new on how some of those programs work and who uses those programs and how and when to use them. Like for example, in Google Drive, I know how to use the program but I didn’t know that you could allow someone to edit your file that you put there as long as you change some settings. I also learned that in Google, you can have a group conversation so that if you have meetings you don’t have to go to the office to have it.

            I was also really amazed at the examples they showed because during the talk on Keynote, Ms. Gail showed a video with different people from all over the world singing one song. It was so amazing how the video looked like they planned it but in fact they didn’t really meet at all. The example about the people having a meeting online was also great because I felt that it really showed how Google made it so easy to have a meeting without having to go to the office.

            I was also surprised at the facts and statistics they showed. I really saw how many people actually use Google for their business and how safe it was to use. Mr. Herald’s examples of big companies and even governments use Google so I thought that it was really safe since those companies and governments wouldn’t put themselves or their clients at risk.

            The talk on Google Drive was the one that really got my interest because I am kind of new to using that so I sometimes get lost whenever I use it to upload some papers for my class now but after the talk, I really learned so much about it that I’m now more confident about using it. I’m not so confused about some of its functions now.

            I really enjoyed the event even if I’m not a business major I feel like I could still make use of what I’ve learned because even if they talked about how you can use it for your business, I think that I could also use it in my studies because they’re useful and safe to use.
