Scientists who know how to discover an entrepreneurial spirit will be able to more effectively solve the problems that plague humanity - said Larry Page, one of the founders of Google, at a meeting of researchers from the academy. "There are a lot of marketing experts, but as far as I know, none of them work for you," Page told researchers at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (America Association for the Advancement of Science). "Let's advance the solutions to the problems that plague humanity. Let's encourage the researchers," Page said.
Page, a 33-year-old billionaire who serves as one of the presidents of Google, said that he drew his inspiration from the history of Silicon Valley and the short and fast cycles of technological innovations. As someone who studied 11 years ago for a graduate degree in computer science at Stanford University, Page said that the idea of the system for ranking the pages on the Internet, which is at the heart of the popular search engine, popped into his head completely randomly.
"It's not hard at all," said Larry Page at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. "Businesses and entrepreneurship should be treated positively. If no one treats you, you suffer from a serious marketing problem", added the prodigy of the Internet world, who recently changed his appearance - he adopted a fashionable haircut and makes sure to keep his beard short.
Page made a number of proposals that, according to him, could raise the profile of the scientists in the company. Among other things, Page came up with an innovative solution to combating accidents - letting computers control cars. "I am convinced that if computers drive cars, there will be far fewer traffic accidents," Page said. Instead of paving roads in the developing regions of Africa, Page proposed to operate light aircraft at a speed of 150 km/h. According to him, they will consume less fuel than cars.
In the Nevada desert, Page proposed to build solar power plants, and in Europe and North Africa, Page proposed to connect to a grid for electricity transmission - which would be generated from the strong winds that blow in some areas. According to Page, many of the failures of science are not due to technical difficulties, but to a lack of initiative.
