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.

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.

Too few people in computer science are aware of some of the informational challenges in biology and their implications for the world. We can store an incredible amount of data very cheaply.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am sometimes something of a lazy person, so when I end up spending a lot of time using something myself - as I did with Google in the earliest of days, I knew it was a big deal.

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

As we go forward, I hope we're going to continue to use technology to make really big differences in how people live and work.

It's not enough not to be evil. We also actively try to be good.

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.
Sergey Brin
Image
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.

Ultimately you want to have the entire world's knowledge connected directly to your mind.

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.

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.

We've seen a massive attack on the freedom of the web. Governments are realizing the power of this medium to organize people and they are trying to clamp down across the world, not just in places like China and North Korea we're seeing bills in the United States, in Italy, all across the world.

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.

Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems.
