"All data is created equal." That paraphrase of the U.S. Declaration of Independence is the key idea behind net neutrality, also called Internet or network neutrality. Proponents of net neutrality believe that governments, media companies, and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) should not discriminate against or charge different service fees based on the type of data being transmitted over the Internet.

One of the many ways you can use Google Drive is as a back-up tool — but not in the conventional way of backing up your entire hard drive. You wouldn’t want to clone your entire hard drive to cloud storage anyway, mainly for security reasons. However, you can make it a point to back up your important documents to Google Drive.

You can create a Google group for any reason — it doesn’t matter if it’s for personal or business reasons. You can set up a Google group to discuss how to care for your favorite plant or as a place to discuss an ongoing project. The object is to provide people with similar interests a place to discuss them. Depending on your topic, though, you may want to include some restrictions on who can join the group.

In Smartsheet, you can link cells between multiple sheets, which comes in handy if you need to create a roll-up report — that is, a sheet that presents an overview of several other sheets. For example, say you want to present an overview of major project milestones from several different projects. In your overview sheet (also known as the destination sheet), you can link cells to certain tasks, start and end dates, and % completed in your project sheets.

When you manage a project in Smartsheet, you want to use a project sheet to manage the project’s schedule and tasks. In most projects, some tasks can’t be done until others are finished. Those are called dependencies, and the tasks that need to be finished before others can be started are called predecessors. Using dependencies and predecessors make managing the overall timelime for your project easier, because Smartsheet can automatically calculate start and end dates of dependent tasks based on the dates and durations of their predecessors.
