Larry Page's Vision of the Future

Posted by timothy on from the you-too-can-be-a-kajillionaire dept.

adamjh writes "Yesterday, Google co-founder Larry Page gave an amazing talk to the 2005 graduating class of the University of Michigan College of Engineering. In true geek form, I made sure to record Larry's entire speech on my mobile phone in order to share with the Slashdot community a rare glimpse into Larry's thoughts on the past, present, and future -- on topics ranging from dropping out of Stanford to start Google to "Thinking Big" and the abundance of venture capital to traveling to Mars, curing world hunger, and well, much much more."

    Indeed. I've had my email on the slashdot front page once or twice, and almost no spam gets through the filter.

    If Slashdot were to look down right now, she would see a shark just under her waterskis.
