Larry Page’s talk at AAAS in San Francisco

I stopped by the Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) meeting in San Francisco Friday night to see Larry Page (co-founder of Google) deliver an interesting talk.  He covered a wide range of topics, including:  education (needs to be improved), transportation (there has to be a better way), energy (solar is good), artificial intelligence (will probably arrive sooner than we think), big projects such as the X Prize space competition, Google.org, Google’s book scanning project, climate change, and the marketing of science.  It was nice to see someone thinking positively about how we can mobilize people and projects to make a difference.

I’m sure the full video will appear online soon but for now, here’s a small portion of it on cnet
