My vision when we started Google 15 years ago was that eventually you wouldn't have to have a search query at all. You'd just have information come to you as you needed it. And Google Glass is now, 15 years later, sort of the first form factor that I think can deliver that vision.

In the future, search engines should be as useful as HAL in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey-but hopefully they won't kill people.

It is ironic since whenever I have met with our elected officials they are invariably thoughtful, well-meaning people. And yet collectively 90% of their effort seems to be focused on how to stick it to the other party.

The name was supposed to be 'Googol,' which is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeroes. It was before the Google spellchecker existed.

Once you go from 10 people to 100, you already don’t know who everyone is. So at that stage you might as well keep growing, to get the advantages of scale.

If you had all the world's information directly attached to your brain, or an artificial brain that was smarter than your brain, you'd be better off.

It's a romantic notion that you're going to have one brilliant idea and then everything is going to be great... but the execution and delivery are what's key.

I feel there’s an existential angst among young people. I didn’t have that. They see enormous mountains, where I only saw one little hill to climb.

Currently we don't have plans on conquering the world.

I'd like to get to a state where people think that if you've Googled something, you've researched it, and otherwise haven't, and that's it.
Sergey Brin
Image
Before Google, I don't think people put much effort into the ordering of results. You might get a couple thouand results for a query. We saw that a thousand results weren't necessarily as useful as 10 good ones.

We wouldn't survive if people didn't trust us.

Obviously everyone wants to be successful, but I want to be looked back on as being very innovative, very trusted and ethical and ultimately making a big difference in the world.

Generally, health is just so heavily regulated. It's just a painful business to be in. It's just not necessarily how I want to spend my time.

If what we are doing is not seen by some people as science fiction, it's probably not transformative enough

When I was growing up, I always knew I'd be in the top of my class in math, and that gave me a lot of self-confidence.

Technology is an inherent democratizer. Because of the evolution of hardware and software, you’re able to scale up almost anything. It means that in our lifetime everyone may have tools of equal power.

When it’s too easy to get money, then you get a lot of noise mixed in with the real innovation and entrepreneurship. Tough times bring out the best parts of Silicon Valley.

Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems.
