  • More Internet-enabled phones will be sold and activated in 2009 than personal computers.
  • Today, the computer for the rest of us is a phone.
  • Our infrastructure has to keep up with this growth just to maintain our current level of quality, but to actually make search smarter, our index and infrastructure need to grow at a pace FASTER than the web.

      I find this to be an excellent sentence that can be applied to public education as well.

  • When data is abundant, intelligence will win
  • No one argues the value of free speech, but the vast majority of stuff we find on the web is useless. The clamor of junk threatens to drown out voices of quality.
  • One thing that we have learned in our industry is that people have a lot to say. They are using the Internet to publish things at an astonishing pace. 120K blogs are created daily — most of them with an audience of one. Over half of them are created by people under the age of nineteen. In the US, nearly 40 percent of Internet users upload videos, and globally over fifteen hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. The web is very social too: about one of every six minutes that people spend online is spent in a social network of some type.
  • The real potential of cloud computing lies not in taking stuff that used to live on PCs and putting it online, but in doing things online that were previously simply impossible.
  • Oil fueled the Industrial Revolution, but data will fuel the next generation of growth.
  • Now, the best technology starts with consumers, where a Darwinian market drives innovation that far surpasses traditional enterprise tools, and migrates to the workplace only after thriving with consumers.
  • Cloud computing levels that playing field so that the small business has access to the same systems that large businesses do. Given that small businesses generate most of the jobs in the economy, this is no small trend.
  • With facts, negotiations can become less about who yells louder, but about who has the stronger data.
  • Similarly, we manage Google with a long-term focus.
