The Future According To Google’s Eric Schmidt: 7 Points
By Tom Gara
- Reuters
We’ve been taking a look through unreleased galleys of Google GOOG +0.63%executive chairman Eric Schmidt‘s new book, “The New Digital Age”, to be released this April. In our main post we looked at how the book, co-written with Google Ideas chief Jared Cohen, had some tough words to say about China and its history of internet censorship and cyber espionage.
But there’s more! Aside from promising a future with “integrated clothing machines (washing, drying, folding, pressing and sorting) that keep an inventory of clean clothes and algorithmically suggest outfits based on the user’s daily schedule,” and — drumroll — “haircuts that will finally be automated and machine-precise,” the book share’s Schmidt’s take many other hot-button online issues.
Here’s a lines we thought were notable:
Anonymity: “Some governments will consider it too risky to have thousands of anonymous, untraceable and unverified citizens — “hidden people”; they’ll want to know who is associated with each online account, and will require verification at a state level, in order to exert control over the virtual world
Search engines: “Within search results, information tied to verified online profiles will be ranked higher than content without such verification, which will result in most users naturally clicking on the top (verified) results. The true cost of remaining anonymous, then, might be irrelevance.”
The Next EU?: ”States like Belarus, Eritrea, Zimbabwe and North Korea — authoritarian, with strong personality cults and a pariah status elsewhere in the world — would have little to lose by joining an autocratic cyber union, where censorship and monitoring strategies and technologies could be shared.”
Tech companies: “Thick skin will be a necessity for technology companies in the coming years of the digital age, because they will find themselves beset by public concerns over privacy, security and user protections…They’ll also have to hire more lawyers. Litigation will always outpace genuine legal reform, as any of the technology giants fighting perpetual legal battles over intellectual property, patents, privacy and other issues would attest”
Electronic conflict: ”It’s fair to say we’re already living in an age of state-led cyber war, even if most of us aren’t aware of it.”
Journalism: “The effect of having so many new actors involved, connected through a range of online platforms into the great, diffuse media system, is that major media outlets will report less and validate more…. In fact, the elite will probably rely more on established news organizations simply becayse of the massive swell of low-grade reporting and information in the system.”
Twitter: “Twitter can no more produce analysis than a monkey can type out a work of Shakespeare.”
