Eric Schmidt predicts new billions of Web users

The other day, Google CEO Eric Schmidt announced that the corporation has significantly increased the profitability of its services and projects. In the wake of this success, Eric Schmidt gave an interesting interview where he expresses his thoughts, vision of the future of the Network. First, he once again noted the financial success of his company, saying that "everything that is a billion dollars is good, and if the amount grows, it is even better." Schmidt and his colleagues pin their hope for the even greater success of their company on the emergence of an increasing number of Web users.

Such an increase, according to Google CEO, will certainly happen against the background of continuous improvement of mobile devices through which hundreds of millions of people get on the Internet, thus replenishing the Internet community. Currently, according to various analytical agencies, the number of Internet users worldwide is already 2 billion. This, of course, affects society, including the economy.

Schmidt also hopes for the success of his company's new product, Google TV. True, he has not yet undertaken to predict anything. “What happens if you put a powerful browser in the hands of a person who has never worked with anything more modern than TV? So far, I can not answer this question. We don’t know what they think, ”comments Schmidt.

It is clear that most newcomers to the Web are primarily looking for entertainment, which is quite natural for human nature. But then more and more people begin to work on the Web, creating an open information model of the community and civilization as a whole.

Now the main strategy of the corporation is to attract more and more people as users of the Network. Schmidt believes that this is a positive trend. It goes without saying that the more people there are on the Web, the more profit corporations, including Google, will earn. Eric Schmidt believes that soon hundreds of millions of new users will appear on the Web, and Google will play an important role, trying to simplify the connection to the Web as much as possible for those who want to start working with the Internet. Well, we can say that Google does it well - a lot of work has been done, and more needs to be done.
