Larry Page Quotes

Incrementalism in technology leads to irrelevance; what you need is revolutionary change.

Innovation is hard. It really is. Because most people don't get it. Remember, the automobile, the airplane, the telephone, these were all considered toys at their introduction because they had no constituency. They were too new.

You always need to be on the lookout for the next kind of great technology.

We want traditional change—not transformational change.

This is the age of disruption.

I'm not a big believer in revolutions. What people call revolutions in technology were more of a shift in perception - from big machines to PC's (the technology just evolved, fairly slowly at that), and from PC's to the internet. The next "revolution" is going to be the same thing - not about the technology itself being revolutionary, but a shift in how you look at it and how you use it.

This would only come if you have a revolutionary change in technology like the jet brought about.

It's easy to fall into the trap of assuming that a new technology is very similar to its predecessors. A new technology is often perceived as the linear extension of the previous one, and this leads us to believe the new technology will fill the same roles - just a little faster or a little smaller or a little lighter.

Technology changes all the time; human nature, hardly ever.

I just think we're living in a time of massive, amazing change, like the Industrial Revolution on acid.

I don't think love for technology itself breeds change.

The nature of an innovation is that it will arise at a fringe where it can afford to become prevalent enough to establish its usefulness without being overwhelmed by the inertia of the orthodox system.

The computer is my favourite invention. I feel lucky to be part of the global village. I don't mean to brag, but I'm so fast with technology. People think it all seems too much, but we'll get used to it. I'm sure it all seemed too much when we were learning to walk.

My view is that innovation has declined in the everyday processes that businesses tinker with incrementally as they try to become more productive over time.

An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will change the way we live and work.

A lot of technologies in the world were unusual in the beginning, and became standard. That's the beauty of bottom-up entrepreneurship and innovations.

Tech is a funny industry; I don't think there is any other industry on the planet that reinvents itself every 10-12 years.

You can graph human evolution, which is mostly a straight line, but we do get better and change over time, and you can graph technological evolution, which is a line that's going straight up. They are going to intersect each other at some point, and that's happening now.

What seems impossible today, may half a century hence have become commonplace.

The revolution in AI [artifical intelligence] has been profound. It surprised me, even though I was sitting right there.

Every technological revolution takes about 50 years.

We love serious technology innovations, and there is a strong bias towards large technology innovations that are sort of disruptive to the current market.

One thing about technology is that there's always a win, place, and show, and everyone else goes under.

Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into an innovation.

I just want to innovate.
