This is why I linked this website onto the HB363 page. And we, in Pennsylvania, want to deprive our students of this access to information?

We intrinsically believe that the wave upon which we surf, the secular shift of information, communications, and commerce to the Internet, is still in its early stages, and that its result will be a preponderance of good.

Google. Ours is much more than a passing role in this next phase of history, rather we have the responsibility and duty to make the Internet as great as it can possibly be
-
At Google we are all technology optimists. We intrinsically believe that the wave upon which we surf, the secular shift of information, communications, and commerce to the Internet, is still in its early stages, and that its result will be a preponderance of good.

search will remain the killer application. For most people, it is the reason they access the Internet: to find answers and solve real problems.
-
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.

Free speech is no longer just a right granted by law, but one imbued by technology.
-
the vast majority of stuff we find on the web is useless. The clamor of junk threatens to drown out voices of quality.

As written communication has evolved from long letter to short text message, news has largely shifted from thoughtful to spontaneous. The old-fashioned static news article is now just a starting point, inciting back-and-forth debate that often results in a more balanced and detailed assessment. And the old-fashioned business model of bundled news, where the classifieds basically subsidized a lot of the high-quality reporting on the front page, has been thoroughly disrupted

This means that every fellow citizen of the world will have in his or her pocket the ability to access the world's information.

And why is it so hard for teachers, who should be the best and most experienced learners, to understand that we need to demostrate and teach the skills needed to deal with all of this information?

Everyone can publish, and everyone will

Hmm, this can be good or bad ;-(

Sharing, not guarding information, has become the golden standard on the web, so not only can anyone publish, but virtually everyone does. This is both good and bad news. 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.

Seeking for the worthwhile, evaluating the source, this will be a much more difficult task in the future (like next year)

With facts, negotiations can become less about who yells louder, but about who has the stronger data.

Analyze the data!! yay!

Hal Varian likes to say that the sexy job in the next ten years will be statisticians. After all, who would have guessed that computer engineers would be the cool job of the 90s? When every business has free and ubiquitous data, the ability to understand it and extract value from it becomes the complimentary scarce factor.

I cannot wait to share this with my 8th graders. Data is meaningless until you put in into context.

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.

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.

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.
-
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.
-
Similarly, we manage Google with a long-term focus.

brian rodneyI originally wrote this email for internal consumption; Presidents' Day here in the US and President Obama's recent inaugural address got me thinking about the future of the Internet, Google, and the challenges that lie ahead.
