This is an example of using web apps.

Why?

The term web apps refers to applications that are accessed and operated through a web browser over the internet, rather than being installed directly on a device.

In your case, Google Docs is a web app because:

  1. Accessibility: You can access Google Docs from any device with a web browser, including Chromebooks, MacBooks, and iPhones.
  2. Storage: Your files are stored in the cloud (Google Drive), allowing you to access the same documents from multiple devices without needing to transfer files manually.
  3. Collaboration: Google Docs allows real-time collaboration over the internet with other users, which is a common feature of web apps.

This functionality contrasts with traditional programs or apps that need to be specifically installed on a device and may not offer the same level of cross-device compatibility or cloud storage features.
