How Long is the Future? - a photo on Flickriver

            Eric Schmidt’s opening comments at our LP dinner:

The politician’s answer is a few years at best.

We are looking for simple answers. The problems of healthcare, terrorism and climate change can be solved if we take a longer time frame and focus on truth.  
Innovation is the solution.

Repeat these two statements after me:
   “In God We Trust”
   “All others should bring data.”

Andy Grove likes to say that technology moves 3x faster than normal people, and the government moves 3x slower than normal people.  So there’s a 9x delta.

There are now 2.8 million emails sent per second and 42 hours of YouTube video uploaded every minute.  Last year’s data creation is much larger than the past 5000 years combined.  Most of it is user generated content – where I am and what am I doing.

Sergey and Larry are some of the smartest people I know.  When you meet brilliant people who are changing the world, ally yourself with them even if they look like a child.

Automatic translation of all of the world’s knowledge will be a singular accomplishment.  

There is a global conflict of enormous proportions between the physical and virtual worlds. Each causes the other to get better.  It’s getting harder to be evil over time; you get caught.
