More quotes by Eric Schmidt
Google is very much a not-invented-here, build-it-ourselves culture.
Eric Schmidt
Half of Google's revenue comes from selling text-based ads that are placed near search results and are related to the topic of the search. Another half of its revenues come from licensing its search technology to companies like Yahoo.
Eric Schmidt
Just remember when you post something, the computers remember forever.
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
By the summer of 2012, the majority of the televisions you see in stores will have Google TV embedded.
Eric Schmidt
We want to make sure the thing you're looking for is on Google 100 percent of the time.

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.

I believe that this notion of self-publishing, which is what Blogger and blogging are really about, is the next big wave of human communication. The last big wave was Web activity. Before that one it was e-mail. Instant messaging was an extension of e-mail, real-time e-mail.

In a networked world, trust is the most important currency.
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
We have an opportunity for everyone in the world to have access to all the world's information. This has never before been possible. Why is ubiquitous information so profound? It's a tremendous equalizer. Information is power.
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 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
The average American doesnt realize how much of the laws are written by lobbyists.
Eric Schmidt
One of the unintended negative consequences of online advertising has been the loss of value in traditional classifieds. It's simply quicker, simply easier for an end user who's online, on a broadband connection, to look things up and to figure out what they want to buy.
Eric Schmidt
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. That is one of the key aspects of why the Internet has been so successful. No technologies can dominate.
Eric Schmidt
If you're going to make a law, make a law that actually works. It's extraordinarily difficult.
Eric Schmidt
Every two days now we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003.
Eric Schmidt
The core problem is that the world is full of people who would like to take 99 per cent of the information that's on the Internet, and eliminate 1 per cent. Everyone has their own thing they don't like.
