The self driving car is not self-aware. It's just driving; it's not thinking.

I'm able to bring business expertise but, more importantly, operating experience. The people here at Google are young. Every day there are lots of new challenges. I keep things focused. The speech I give everyday is: "This is what we do. Is what you are doing consistent with that, and does it change the world?"

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.

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.

Within search results, information tied to verified online profiles will be ranked higher than content without such verification, which will result in most users naturally clicking on the top (verified) results. The true cost of remaining anonymous, then, might be irrelevance.

It's because of this fundamental shift towards user-generated information that people will listen more to other people than to traditional resources.

I don't believe society understands what happens when everything is available, knowable and recorded by everyone all the time.
