Search companies, which I won't mention by name, tried to do so many things at the same time, they forgot all about search. They either missed the next revolution of search or they created an opening for a Google to enter.

More quotes by Eric Schmidt
We run the company by questions, not by answers.
Eric Schmidt
Technology will move faster than governments, so don't legislate before you understand the consequences.
Eric Schmidt
The Internet is really about highly specialized information, highly specialized targeting.
Eric Schmidt
The Internet of things will augment your brain.
Eric Schmidt
Around 400 million people in the last year got a smartphone. If you think that’s a big deal, imagine the impact on that person in the developing world.
Eric Schmidt
It's a mistake to predict the size of markets that are so new. This model has shown no signs of slowing down. So we are going to get as much of it as we possibly can, and when we get close to that we'll figure out other problems.
Eric Schmidt
In a networked world, trust is the most important currency.
Eric Schmidt
I actually think most people don't want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next.
Eric Schmidt
We don't have a traditional strategy process, planning process like you'd find in traditional technical companies. It allows Google to innovate very, very quickly, which I think is a real strength of the company.
Eric Schmidt
I've come to a view that humans will continue to do what we do well, and that computers will continue to do what they do very well, and the two will coexist, but in different spaces.
Eric Schmidt
Since I have access to every, every crisis in the world because it's always blaring at me on cable television, that doesn't mean I have to worry about every one of them. This is also known as knowing where the 'off' button is.
Eric Schmidt
In a world where everything is remembered and everything is kept forever, you need to live for the future and things you really care about.
Eric Schmidt
Ultimately, in the Internet, openness has always won. I cannot imagine that the current competitive environment would reverse that.
Eric Schmidt
Just remember when you post something, the computers remember forever.
Eric Schmidt
If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
Eric Schmidt
There is a science to managing high tech businesses, and it needs to be respected. One of them is that in technology businesses, leadership is temporary. It's constantly recycling. So the asset has limited lifetime.
Eric Schmidt
The funny thing about advertising is that it's not a zero-sum game... Historically, in the digital ad world, pie has gotten larger and it's possible for everyone to win, and it's perfectly possible that will continue to be true for quite some time.
Eric Schmidt
Washington - having spent a lot of time there, I grew up there and have spent a lot of time there recently - is largely defined by detailed analytical views and policy choices that are not very good. You know, each policy choice has a winner and a loser, right? Somebody's ox is getting gored.
Eric Schmidt
For those who say you're thinking too big... be smart enough not to listen. For those who say the odds are too small ... be dumb enough to give it a shot. And for those who ask, how can you do that?... look them in the eyes and say, I'll figure it out.

Google docs and spreadsheets don't work if you're on an airplane. But it's a technical problem that is going to get solved. Eventually you will be able to work on a plane as if you are connected and, then when you get reconnected to the Internet, your computer will just synchronize with the cloud.
