The Inventor Of Google Glass Says It Could Outsource Our Brains Picture Quote #1

Technology is synonymous for connection with other people Picture Quote #1

I take all day to climb mountains and then spend about 10 minutes at the top admiring the view Picture Quote #1

I don’t think we will put higher-ed out of business. I think we’ll evolve it. More access, higher quality, lower costs, more global reach Picture Quote #1

I’d really love to see a business model for higher education going forward that is actually affordable, that uses modern technology to reach scale and quality and that really reimburses the services rendered in a way that’s meaningful to everybody Picture Quote #1

If you look at the ability of a self-driving car to stay in the lane and not to speed and keep a good distance to the car in front of you, it actually does better than me Picture Quote #1

I always love to be careful with my expectations so that life has pleasant surprises for me Picture Quote #1

It’s important to celebrate your failures as much as your successes. If you celebrate your failures really well, and if you get to the motto and say, ‘Wow, I failed, I tried, I was wrong, I learned something,’ then you realize you have no fear, and when your fear goes away, you can move the world Picture Quote #1

Even as a college professor at Carnegie Mellon and Stanford, I saw myself as an entrepreneur, and I went out, took risks, and tried to invent new things, such as participating in the DARPA Grand Challenge and working on self-driving cars Picture Quote #1

I am particularly surprised that certain outlets look at pass rates irrespective of student population. As if inner city high school kids are to fare as well as college students Picture Quote #1

In most parts of the world, starting a company that goes bust is dubbed a ‘failure.’ In Silicon Valley, we call this ‘gaining experience.’ We are willing to take the risks that are inherent for innovation Picture Quote #1

As a child, I spent a lot of time with things like Lego, building trains, cars, complex structures, and I really liked that Picture Quote #1

You have to understand that teaching online is different, just like movies are different from the stage and TV is different from radio Picture Quote #1

Every time I act on a fear, I feel disappointed in myself. I have a lot of fear. If I can quit all fear in my life and all guilt, then I tend to be much, much more living up to my standards. I’ve never seen a person fail if they didn’t fear failure Picture Quote #1

In my son’s kindergarten, they’re telling us how to get him into Stanford. By their advice, I’m doing everything wrong, because I’m trying to make him happy rather than putting him through as many piano lessons as possible Picture Quote #1

I’m really looking forward to a time when generations after us look back and say how ridiculous it was that humans were driving cars Picture Quote #1

Online education that leaves almost everybody behind except for highly motivated students, to me, can’t be a viable path to education Picture Quote #1

I really believe that we have to work hard to make online education better and better, and eventually it’s going to be really great. But like most of these things, it takes time to improve, to understand and to make things really good Picture Quote #1

We need to make education so much fun that students can’t help but learn Picture Quote #1

I have a really deep belief that we create technologies to empower ourselves. We’ve invented a lot of technology that just makes us all faster and better, and I’m generally a big fan of this. I just want to make sure that this technology stays subservient to people. People are the number one entity there is on this planet Picture Quote #1

I used to tell my graduate students at Stanford, ‘Don’t worry about what job you have to pick because your job picks you. Let your job pick you. Find something you are passionate about. Then when you are passionate, be persistent. Just keep doing it for a while because progress is always hard work. It never rests in ideas.’ Picture Quote #1

Giving education away for free is a really good idea, but it can’t be the future of education. There has to be a business model around it that actually works Picture Quote #1

If we study learning as a data science, we can reverse engineer the human brain and tailor learning techniques to maximize the chances of student success. This is the biggest revolution that could happen in education, turning it into a data-driven science, and not such a medieval set of rumors professors tend to carry on Picture Quote #1

Education used to be a slice of life, something you did as a child through college, and then spent the rest of your life working, and then death. Everything is about to change. I believe education will become something that fits seamlessly into life, and we will take big clunky things like degrees and college and fit them into a weekend Picture Quote #1

I always felt that if countries knew each other better, there would be less war. Often, conflict goes with demonizing other countries and cultures Picture Quote #1

I’ve developed my passion for cars that drive themselves from being stuck in traffic for many, many, many hours of my life. I don’t know what it adds up to, but I feel like I’ve lost a year or two just in traffic. That’s big to me. That’s a lot of time, a lot of money that I just lose on the road Picture Quote #1

Honestly, the average American spends about 52 minutes a day in commute traffic. And as much as I love driving my car and many people like driving their car, commuting has never been fun for me Picture Quote #1

Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that artificial intelligence is almost a humanities discipline. It’s really an attempt to understand human intelligence and human cognition Picture Quote #1

I believe e-courses will eventually change people’s attitude toward learning. Education will play an increasingly dominant role in people’s lives. For people of all ages and all geographies Picture Quote #1
