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
Google is very much a not-invented-here, build-it-ourselves culture.

Remember, when you go to YouTube, you do a search. When you go to Google, you do a search. As we get the search integrated between YouTube and Google, which we're working on, it will drive a lot of traffic into both places. So the trick, overall, is generating more searches, more uses of Google.

Even though Google may do very well, there will always be an alternative to what Google is doing, and people will always have the free choice... because there's no way for us to prevent them from exercising that choice.

You can understand Tunisia revolution as a failure to censor the internet. And Libya had that failure too. It's very difficult for governments that are autocratic and don't have broad popular support to be in power when a lot of people have these devices. That was what Arab Spring was about, that people could express this and lead to revolution.
Eric Schmidt
I used to say that you'll have 10 IP address on your body... and it looks like that's going to happen through medical monitoring.
Eric Schmidt
There's been spying for years, there's been surveillance for years, and so forth, I'm not going to pass judgement on that, it's the nature of our society.
Eric Schmidt
The computing world is very good at things that we are not. It is very good at memory.
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 looks like the thing that separates out the capable students from the really successful ones is not so much their knowledge...but their persistence at something.
Eric Schmidt
I've never met a person who does not want a safer world, better medical care and education for their children, and peace with their neighbours. I just don't meet those people. What I meet, over and over again, as I travel around, is that the essential human condition is optimistic - in every one of these places.
Eric Schmidt
People are good at intuition, living our lives. What are computers good at? Memory.
