The more broadband we can get globally, the better. It's better for the world; it's better for our advertisers; it's better for Google.

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

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?"

Twitter can no more produce analysis than a monkey can type out a work of Shakespeare.

I worry that the level of interrupt, the sort of overwhelming rapidity of information — and especially of stressful information — is in fact affecting cognition. It is in fact affecting deeper thinking. I still believe that sitting down and reading a book is the best way to really learn something.
 And I worry that we’re losing that.

In a world where everything is remembered and everything is kept forever, you need to live for the future and things you really care about.
