Google Utilities
Google maps, news, books, product features, translate, and search are very useful tools. They all have their own purposes. Google maps (top) is very useful for when you need directions to a place. Just put in where you want to go and it will automatically tell you how long it will take to get there from the place you put in as your location according to how you are traveling. Google news (third from top) is very good to put as a homepage so you can be caught up in the events going on in the world. Google books(second from bottom) allows you to read some books, but not all. Just go to books and type in what book you want, if they have it you can preview it or it gives you a list of where you can buy it. This is useful for people who like reading. Google product features (second from top) allow you to get a more in-depth search for things you want to buy. It shows you where you buy things from, people's ratings on the product, and price. Google translate(third from bottom) allows you to translate from any language to any other language you want. Say you wanted to learn the German word for "Television". Just put English in the "from" box and German in the "to" box and then type in Television. Then it will tell you the German word for Television. Google search(bottom) lets you search for tings that you are interested in. It definitely helps when you need more information for a paper, or just when something you're trying to remember is bugging you.
