We're democratizing the tools of creativity.

By 2010 computers will disappear. They'll be so small, they'll be embedded in our clothing, in our environment. Images will be written directly to our retina, providing full-immersion virtual reality, augmented real reality. We'll be interacting with virtual personalities.

Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of information technology is exponential, and that makes a profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion.

My mission at Google is to develop natural language understanding with a team and in collaboration with other researchers at Google.

Intuition is linear; our imaginations are weak. Even the brightest of us only extrapolate from what we know now; for the most part, we're afraid to really stretch.

When you talk to a human in 2035, you'll be talking to someone that's a combination of biological and non-biological intelligence.

We appear to be programmed with the idea that there are 'things' outside of our self, and some are conscious, and some are not.
