Google chairman Eric Schmidt likes to talk about the future. Just read the book he co-wrote with Jared Cohen, titled The New Digital Age. It details how modern technology will be used in the years to come and the theories certainly make for an interesting read. He now makes predictions about 2014 and believes that “everyone is going to have a smartphone.” Schmidt says that the trend has been that mobile computing was winning, “it’s now won,” he says, in a video interview conducted by Bloomberg TV.

He also talks about “big data and machine intelligence,” which will drive a new crop of services and apps, allowing people to do so much more than they are able to do today. Schmidt is also of the view that data has the capability to change businesses around the globe. According to him the biggest disruptions expected next year are going to be in the field of genetics, “we don’t really know what’s going to happen,” says the Google chairman. These disruptions would give away to new discoveries in diagnostics and treatment of cancer in the coming year, which he calls unfathomably important. In the end Schmidt talks about social networking and believes it will continue to rise in the coming year, he calls not anticipating the rise of social networking phenomenon his “biggest mistake,” one that they’re not going to make again.

If you have been an iPhone user for a while and you are ready to give something in the Android ecosystem a try, the migration can be a daunting task. Google’s Eric Schmidt has published a guide to help iPhone user’s transfer to the world of Android. The guide walks user’s through all the steps […]

Google recently announced that it has made some changes to its Terms of Service, the changes go in effect on November 11th. One major change is that unless users opt out, Google is allowed to use their photo and Google Account name in ads. Users are free to opt out from the Shared Endorsements menu in their Google Account settings. Despite being given this option, a lot of people have vented their disapproval for this new policy. Some have even gone as far that they have replaced their profile pictures on Google+ with that of Eric Schmidt, Google’s executive chairman.

This is clearly being done in protest of these changes, and while the movement has gathered some steam, it hasn’t reached such astronomical levels that would irk Google to even consider revoking these proposed changes. The idea behind this movement is that if any of these profiles show up in ads, instead of the user’s picture, the ad will display Eric Schmidt’s instead. As previously mentioned, a knee jerk reaction of this sort is unlikely to force Google into making changes into its new Terms of Service. Both Google and Schmidt are yet to comment on this movement, though its highly likely that they’re both unfazed by it.
