More quotes by Sergey Brin
If what we are doing is not seen by some people as science fiction, it's probably not transformative enough
Sergey Brin
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Sergey Brin
Any conversation I have about innovation starts with the ultimate goal.
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
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.
Sergey Brin
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.
Sergey Brin
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.
Sergey Brin
We wouldn't survive if people didn't trust us.
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
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.
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
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.
Sergey Brin
Currently we don't have plans on conquering the world.
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
