More quotes by Sergey Brin
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.
Sergey Brin
Currently we don't have plans on conquering the world.
Sergey Brin
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.
Sergey Brin
We wouldn't survive if people didn't trust us.
Sergey Brin
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.
Sergey Brin
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.
Sergey Brin
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
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.
Sergey Brin
Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems.
Sergey Brin
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
Ultimately you want to have the entire world's knowledge connected directly to your mind.
Sergey Brin
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.
Sergey Brin
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.
Sergey Brin
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.
Sergey Brin
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.
Sergey Brin
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.
Sergey Brin
It's not enough not to be evil. We also actively try to be good.
Sergey Brin
Today, if you want to access a typical out-of-print book, you have only one choice - fly to one of a handful of leading libraries in the country and hope to find it in the stacks.
Sergey Brin
Any conversation I have about innovation starts with the ultimate goal.

You can make money without doing evil.
