Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems.
Obviously everyone wants to be successful, but I want to be looked back on as being very innovative, very trusted and ethical and ultimately making a big difference in the world.
Too few people in computer science are aware of some of the informational challenges in biology and their implications for the world. We can store an incredible amount of data very cheaply.
The name was supposed to be 'Googol,' which is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeroes. It was before the Google spellchecker existed.
As we go forward, I hope we're going to continue to use technology to make really big differences in how people live and work.
When I was growing up, I always knew I'd be in the top of my class in math, and that gave me a lot of self-confidence.

Ultimately you want to have the entire world's knowledge connected directly to your mind.
Currently we don't have plans on conquering the world.
