ANS:
Google makes it possible for you to access information you have gathered from the Internet without your own computer using a Google Account. Once you have created a Google Account, you have access to items stored in your account from any computer. All you need to do is to be able to log on to your account using a computer with an Internet connection. For example, you can bookmark all of your favorite Web sites. Bookmarks are linked to your Google Account. If you log on to your Google Account from another computer, your bookmarks will be there. You can create a Google Notebook of all of your video clips, Web pages and images. Once you make the notebook public, it can be shared. On another computer, log on to your Google Account and you will have access to your notebook and all of its contents. Finally, you can access your Gmail account from any computer with an Internet access, allowing you to receive and send email messages while you are away from your home computer.
