‘Google’s Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen on the New Digital Age’ – ‘Mashable’

Adam Popescu says, “The growth of the web, the developing world and digital-age career skills were all topics of discussion last Thursday night at a special fireside chat with tech heavyweights Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen at Google‘s Venice, Calif., headquarters.

The talk felt like an in-person abstract for the duo’s new book, The New Digital Age, which was finished after the two traveled to more than 25 countries to forecast the global digital evolution.

“In the next five to ten years, another 5 billion people will join the Internet,” said Schmidt, the company’s chief executive and one of the world’s richest men“.
