Eric Schmidt Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Eric Schmidt:

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.

The Internet is really about highly specialized information, highly specialized targeting.

Eric Schmidt

The thing that people seem to miss about not just Google, but also our competitors, Yahoo, eBay and so forth, is that there's an awful lot of communities that have never been served by traditional media.

Eric Schmidt

I still believe that sitting down and reading a book is the best way to really learn something.

Eric Schmidt

People are surprised to find out that an awful lot of people think that they're idiots.

Eric Schmidt

People who bet against the Internet, who think that somehow this change is just a generational shift, miss that it is a fundamental reorganizing of the power of the end user. The Internet brings tremendous tools to the end user, and that end user is going to use them.

Eric Schmidt

People are good at intuition, living our lives. What are computers good at? Memory.

Eric Schmidt

If you think about the history of the PC industry, the PC industry has essentially been nothing but acquisitions by one company or another. Dell is the outlier. Dell built its own culture. They automated themselves to be the most efficient manufacturer.

Eric Schmidt

We weren't here to hope and hang on. We wanted to win.

Eric Schmidt

Half of Google's revenue comes from selling text-based ads that are placed near search results and are related to the topic of the search. Another half of its revenues come from licensing its search technology to companies like Yahoo.

Eric Schmidt

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.

Eric Schmidt

It's very difficult for governments to dominate the Internet because it's so difficult to control. People want to be free. People want to hear multiple voices. They want to make their own decisions. And people who see things will report things.

Eric Schmidt

The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.

Eric Schmidt

We know that Google Earth and Google Maps have had a tremendous impact on Google traffic, users, brand, adoption, and advertisers. We also know Google News, for example, which we don't monetize, has had a tremendous impact on searches and on query quality. We know those people search more. Because we've measured it.

Eric Schmidt

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.

Eric Schmidt

If you think about YouTube, YouTube is a 'searching the world's videos' problem, right? They all have to be there, but how do you find them? What I guess I'm trying to say is that search is still the killer app.

Eric Schmidt

We want to make sure the thing you're looking for is on Google 100 percent of the time.

Eric Schmidt

We used to think that the enterprise was the hardest customer to satisfy, but we were wrong. It turns out, consumers are harder than the enterprise because the consumer will not give you a second chance.

Eric Schmidt

Google was founded to get information to everybody. A by-product of that strategy is that we invented an advertising business which has provided great economics that allows us to build the servers, hire the employees, create value.

Eric Schmidt

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.

Eric Schmidt

Silicon Valley's involvement with Washington dates from one event, which was John Scully - who was the CEO of Apple - had dinner with President Clinton and Vice President Gore in 1993. And we're all going, like, 'What's going on? Why would we have dinner with the president?'

Eric Schmidt

Washington is an incumbent protection machine. Technology is fundamentally disruptive.

Eric Schmidt

When the Internet publicity began, I remember being struck by how much the world was not the way we thought it was, that there was infinite variation in how people viewed the world.

Eric Schmidt

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

Eric Schmidt

YouTube's traffic continues to grow very quickly. Video is something that we think is going to be embedded everywhere. And it makes sense, from Google's perspective, to be the operator of the largest site that contains all that video.

Eric Schmidt

In general in technology, if you own a platform that's valuable, you can monetize it.

Eric Schmidt

I think it's pretty clear that the Internet as a whole has not had a strong notion of identity. And identity means, 'Who am I?' Fundamentally, what Facebook has done has built a way to figure out who people are.

Eric Schmidt

If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

Eric Schmidt

I've come to a view that humans will continue to do what we do well, and that computers will continue to do what they do very well, and the two will coexist, but in different spaces.

Eric Schmidt

There's a set of people who are intrinsic oppositionists to everything Google does.

Eric Schmidt

People are building communities of people who use video. They're sharing them. YouTube's traffic continues to grow very quickly.

Eric Schmidt

Google's architectural model around broadband and services and so forth plays very well to the powerful devices and services Apple is doing. We're a perfect back end to the problems that they're trying to solve.

Eric Schmidt

The rise of Google, the rise of Facebook, the rise of Apple, I think are proof that there is a place for computer science as something that solves problems that people face every day.

Eric Schmidt

The funny thing about advertising is that it's not a zero-sum game... Historically, in the digital ad world, pie has gotten larger and it's possible for everyone to win, and it's perfectly possible that will continue to be true for quite some time.

Eric Schmidt

There's nothing that cannot be found through some search engine or on the Internet somewhere.

Eric Schmidt

Since I have access to every, every crisis in the world because it's always blaring at me on cable television, that doesn't mean I have to worry about every one of them. This is also known as knowing where the off button is.

Eric Schmidt

Even though Google may do very well, there will always be an alternative to what Google is doing, and people will always have the free choice... because there's no way for us to prevent them from exercising that choice. That is one of the key aspects of why the Internet has been so successful. No technologies can dominate.
