I had the privilege of attending a business breakfast this week. The speaker? Patrick Pichette, Chief Financial Officer of Google.

What an amazing way to start a new day! I have summarized a few soundbites worth sharing:

• There are two types of economies: a regular one and a digital one.
• Facebook accounts for 5 per cent of all Internet traffic.
• Everything that was offline, will be online.
• Everything will be localized to you.
• Search is be personal. The focus is you. See my previous post - right on!
• If everything is in the cloud, Chrome OS should be fast. Not more going down for coffee until the computer reboots.
• Innovation is dirt cheap!
• The only bottleneck is …imagination!

A mind-blowing reality: Google has the power to change the world through innovation. That’s the power to Think Infinite.
