Google announced Monday it plans to take its Google Docs word processing application into unchartered territory — offline. “We’ve taken another small step toward making Web applications accessible anywhere and everywhere. We’re rolling out a way for you to edit documents in Google Docs even without a connection,” Jason Freidenfelds, a Google spokesperson, told TechNewsWorld. The roll-out, scheduled to hit Doc users over the next two to three weeks, is an acknowledgment by Google that although the world is moving online, there are still gaps in that access, he said.
