Larry Page Speaks his Mind at TED
Google CEO Larry Page was on stage with Charlie Rose at a TED conference on March 19.
Page shared key insights on many topics, his vision of the future, success and failures, NSA, self-driving cars, medical records, and much more.
Here are some excerpts from his talk:
"The main thing that has caused companies to fail, in my view, is that they missed the future"
"We are still at the very early stages with search. Computers don't know where you are and what you are doing"
"When we bought Android, it was small and I felt guilty working on it, but it was smart, it was the future"
“He (Elon Musk) wants to go to Mars... That’s a worthy goal. We have a lot of employees at Google who’ve become pretty wealthy. You’re working because you want to change the world and make it better; if the company you work for is worthy of your time, why not your money as well? We just don’t think about that. I’d like for us to help out more than we are.”
"Wouldn't it be amazing if medical records available for scientists to research? Keep your personal identity anonymous, but give researchers the data.... It could save 100,000 lives annually."
"Leading cause of death for people under 34 is car accidents. Automated cars would fix this... half of Los Angeles is parking lots and highways."
"The more he learns, the more he realizes he has so much to learn."
"Tremendous good can come from people sharing the right information with the right people in the right way."
"It's kind of sad that google has to protect you against the government."
Bottomline
This is vintage Larry Page. It's not often that you hear Page open up and share this thoughts on so many important areas. But when he does, you get to understand the man who co-founded Google, and his vision about the future. Could you imagine that in 10 years, Google's core business may not be Search at all?
