Technology is always evolving, and companies.. not just search companies.. can't be afraid to take advantage of change.
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.
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
Ultimately, in the Internet, openness has always won. I cannot imagine that the current competitive environment would reverse that.

The Internet of things will augment your brain.
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
When you use Google, do you get more than one answer? Of course you do. Well, that's a bug. We have more bugs per second in the world. We should be able to give you the right answer just once. We should know what you meant.

The issues of wireless versus wireline gets very messy. And that's really an FCC issue, not a Google issue.
Eric Schmidt
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.
Eric Schmidt
There clearly are cases where evil people exist, but you don't have to violate the privacy of every single citizen of America to find them.
Eric Schmidt
Amazon has well passed any expectations of its ability to change distribution and marketing.
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
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
I think of Google as a set of overlapping things. It's a consumer platform, consumer phenomenon of which search is its fundamental activity, but there are many other things you can do than search... I think of Google as an advertising company who services the broader advertising industry in the ways that you know.
Eric Schmidt
The more broadband we can get globally, the better. It's better for the world it's better for our advertisers it's better for Google.
Eric Schmidt
I think it's pretty clear that the internet as a whole has not had a strong notion of identity. And identity means, 'Who am I?' Fundamentally, what Facebook has done has built a way to figure out who people are...
Eric Schmidt
We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less know what you're thinking about.
Eric Schmidt
It's very difficult for governments to dominate the Internet because it's so difficult to control. People want to be free. People want to hear multiple voices. They want to make their own decisions. And people who see things will report things.
