Google is making me stupid
For the past few years, I am so used to google services, especially search engine and email. I can’t even remember when was the last time i use a Microsoft Outlook as my email client. Web based is great, I mean, the first thing I turned on my pc will be firing up a Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, why do I still need to launch another application just to receive emails or notifications? Maybe I am not good at using Outlook.
And now,my current company requested every one in the company to use Outlook as the mail client. The experience isn’t that great though. I took 5 minutes to send an email because I don’t know how to use the address book function. I used to get that by typing name or email,and gmail just suggest me possible match. Too many buttons, what’s the difference between “Attach Item” and “Attach File”? And when I try to search for person in my address book,I just can’t. For instance, I am trying to search for a name “John Doe”,I have to type “John” first in Outlook to locate the entry,but instead I type “Doe” in Gmail it will start suggesting me.And there are so many fields in address book.Oh man,its driving me crazy.
I think the simplicity and usability of Gmail had make me stupid.Thanks, Google.
Dude, you are funny lah..By the way, what you are saying is quite true.
My previous company where i work at, instead of LotusNotes and MS Exchange, some of the staffs use MS Outlook , and I was the IT guy back then. You know what happen?
Took me haf an hour just to figure out the Send/Receive button and the where the heck is the proxy settings .. Darn! haha
Guess I shud thanked Google too, for making my life miserable that day..
