Computer manufacturers are actually encouraging people to use online document management and storage. Hence the netbooks- it is mainly for people surfing the net a lot and since it has very little memory capacity they don't expect you to save your work on it . That's where application like Google Docs enters. You could save all your work on Google Docs and hopefully don't have to worry about systems crashing.
For classroom purposes, students could collaborate on research or writing projects. Teachers could also use it to help each other in sharing lesson plans in the comforts of their own home. But of course, you could just easily email it back and forth since their emails are always up, unless the network is down due to an unforseen event. Google Docs encourages collaboration and accessibility to all its users - wherever you may be.
On the other hand, Google Reader will be helpful for people who are subscribing to a lot of blogs and websites to keep them updated on what is going on. It makes virtual stalking a lot easier because you have everything in one place.
