Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google

I want to share with you a video of an interview with Google CEO, Eric Schmidt.  It’s a fascinating look at what the Web will look like in 5 years.

One particular point he makes drives home the point of this blog:

“One of the things that people forget is that the rate at which information is growing is faster than anything else. So we’re like always drowning in information.  And that’s why you never feel like you never get ahead.  You finally understand this model or that model and there’s another one… Most people’s information will be gotten from other information as opposed to from traditional sources.  You tend to listen to other people more than anything else.”

As soon as you learn one thing, there’s another, and another.  I think we can all relate to this- drowing is a great metaphor, especially for us Web Waterskiers.  The concept of contiual learning is never more important than with the Internet.

I’ve found a way to ride the information, and sharing it with you is why we’re all here.
