More quotes by Eric Schmidt
I think I could argue that the press has more impact on politics than corporations.
Eric Schmidt
The characteristic of great innovators and great companies is they see a space that others do not. They don't just listen to what people tell them they actually invent something new, something that you didn't know you needed, but the moment you see it, you say, 'I must have it.'
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
I had always assumed that the right way to do it was to these engineers, put them in offices by themselves with doors that they could close so they could think deep thoughts. This is a terrible idea.

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.

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
I do want to emphasize that we've seen an explosion in the use of Google Maps and Google Earth for education. The earth is a special place. It is our home and it's why we're all here. And the ability to see what's really going on the earth, the good stuff and the bad stuff, at the level that you can, is phenomenal.

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.
Eric Schmidt
By the summer of 2012, the majority of the televisions you see in stores will have Google TV embedded.
Eric Schmidt
The Internet of things will augment your brain.
Eric Schmidt
Ultimately, in the Internet, openness has always won. I cannot imagine that the current competitive environment would reverse that.
Eric Schmidt
We're about to see an acceleration in technological platforms that, for marketers, will be on a scale rivalled only by the arrival of color TV.
Eric Schmidt
Technology will move faster than governments, so don't legislate before you understand the consequences.
Eric Schmidt
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.
Eric Schmidt
We run the company by questions, not by answers.
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
It's a bug that cars were invented before computers.
Eric Schmidt
People are building communities of people who use video. They're sharing them. YouTube's traffic continues to grow very quickly.
Eric Schmidt
Technology is always evolving, and companies.. not just search companies.. can't be afraid to take advantage of change.
