According to Google's Chairman Eric Schmidt: "Within 10 years, computers will be 30 times faster…which will allow us to do amazing things."
Mobile is a world driver of growth and prosperity. Schmidt highlighted the captive market for these changes by pointing out that, in some countries, people are placing greater priority on having a mobile phone than getting running water at home.
Speaking about the future, Schmidt is optimistic that computers and artificial intelligence will not take over the world. Instead he believes that a complimentary scenario will emerge:
Over five to ten years, human and computers will be distinguishable. Humans will still be very good at what we do — intuition, fun, entertainment, innovation — and computers will get extraordinarily good about what they are very good at, such as needle in a haystack problems and infinite memories.
Schmidt believes that the value of mobile devices is the networks of information that they are connected to, rather than the device itself:
"I don’t think of this as my phone, it is my personal super computer that can answer any question that I care about in life."
