[music playing] female speaker: ladies andgentlemen, please welcome senior vice president,vic gundotra. vic gundotra: well, goodmorning and hello. and on behalf of google, let meextend our warmest welcome to the 6,000 of you here inattendance as well as the over 40,000 who have joined us in 440viewing parties across 90 countries worldwide. and to the over one millionwho are watching live on

youtube right now, welcome tothe sixth annual google i/o. our platform and services teamshave worked incredibly hard to get to this point. and i hope you're going to bedelighted by some of the surprises we have in storefor you this morning. but as that openingvideo showed, it's really not about us. it's about you, developers,who are building the most amazing and magical experiencesthat make those

platforms and servicescome alive. so when we say thank you, wereally sincerely mean it. your support, your enthusiasm,your building of apps for our platform and services hasbeen deeply appreciated. and we hope that the thingsthat you'll see at this conference will continue toinspire you and that we at google will continueto earn your trust. so with that, let's getthis keynote started. please join me in welcomingmy friend sundar pichai.

[applause] sundar pichai: thank you, vic. it's incredibly excitingto be here. welcome to google i/o. i thinkwe are in the middle of one of the most pivotal momentsin personal computing. we are going through one of themost innovative phases in personal computing. most of you in this audiencehave lived through the pc revolution.

an incredibly importantrevolution in our lifetime. it started around 1980. but if you take a look back, forover 25 years most people in the world used one operating system, which was windows. and in terms of hardware formfactors, it evolved from desktops to laptops overa long period of time. but fast forward to aboutseven years ago. with the advent of smartphone,there's been an explosion of

devices, phones and tablets andincreasingly newer types of devices. people are adopting thesedevices at an amazing pace because it has a profoundimpact on their day to day lives. nothing captures this momentas the picture behind me. these are two pictures inthe same location in saint peter's basilica. the one on the left is a thefuneral of pope john paul ii.

the one on the right is theannouncement of the new pope francis recently. for sure, different moments,the one on the left this more somber. but you can see there is oneperson way ahead of their time with a clam shell phone tryingto take a picture. but you look at the one on theright, a sea of phones capturing that moment. the world has changed prettydramatically just in a span of

six to seven years. increasingly people are usingmany, many different types of computing devices. it's not just desktops, phones,and laptops anymore. it's watch with displays. its thermostats with displays. maybe a car console has adisplay and maybe something like google glass. when you look at all thesecomputing devices, it's a

multi-screen world. these are all small displayswith a lot of computing power in them. in addition to that,they have sensors. they can listen. they can feel. they can hear. and the amount of computingpower in these screens is incredible.

and users are really adoptingthese computing devices. we at google are incrediblyexcited. this is why we view this asone of the most important moments in computing. and we're working very,very hard to continue this journey forward. the reason is at the heart ofthis journey is the impact we can have on peoplearound the world. that's what this journeyof personal computing

is about for us. we are very, very fortunate atgoogle to have two platforms, two large open platforms, twofast growing platforms, two scalable platforms completelydesigned for developers like you to build amazing experiences, android and chrome. android started with a simplegoal of bringing open standards to the mobileindustry. today it is the most popularmobile operating

system in the world. sundar pichai: chrome, again,started as a simple journey to make the web much better, bothas a platform for developers and as an experiencefor users. the goal was to designa simpler, safer, and faster browser. and today it is themost popular browser used in the world. sundar pichai: android andchrome, as i said earlier, are

really designed for peopleto build amazing experiences on top. we at google are working hardon top of these platforms. we call this thebest of google. we are building products likesearch, maps, youtube, google now, and many more new thingswhich you will hear about later today. so we are working hard on top ofthese platforms to push the journey of computing forward.

but what really excites is thatdevelopers like you can build thousands of third partyapplications, great applications which really make adifference on top of android and chrome. and that's what a lot ofthis keynote is about. what are we doing on top ofthese platforms so that you can continue doing thegreat work you do? with that, let's get started. we're going to talkabout android.

so two years ago we announcedwe had over 100 million activations of android. we were incredibly excited atthe rate of the of growth. and a year ago at moscone wecelebrated the fact that we have four 400 millionactivations of android. the momentum has beenbreathtaking since then. so let's take a lookat where we are. [video playback] sundar pichai: 900 million.

it's an extraordinaryachievement. but it's an extraordinaryecosystem achievement. we couldn't have gotten therewithout the help of a lot of you in the audience and peoplearound the world, developers around the world. we are incredibly humbled bywhere we have reached. but we have to remember thereare over 7 billion people on this planet. so we have a long way to go.

and we think the journey isjust getting started. so if you look, we're goingto put a map of the world. and we're going to highlightfor you areas of the world where the penetration of androidis less than 10%. and as you can see, while we'regrowing very, very fast, most of the world, the countriesin green here represent over four anda half billion people. and the penetration of androidis less than 10%. but it is growingvery, very fast.

so a lot of this journey isabout bringing that next four and a half billion people onlineand making a difference in their lives. so we're going to talk a lotabout what we are doing in android both for developersand users to continue this momentum. and to get started, i'm going toinvite hugo onto the stage. hugo barra: good morning,everyone. thank you, sundar.

how are you guys doingthis morning? [cheering] hugo barra: great. you guys just heard about thespectacular android ecosystem momentum all around the world. well it's also been an amazingyear for android developers. here's a pretty insanenumber for you. google play has just crossed48 billion app installs. that's right.

48 billion app installs. that's a huge number. hugo barra: thank you. hugo barra: and two and a halfbillion installs in the last month alone. but even better than that, overthe last four months, this year, we've already paidout more money to android developer's on google playthan in all of last year. and revenue per user--

thank you. hugo barra: and revenue peruser, which is a pretty important stat for all of us, istwo and half times what it was just a year ago globally. so you guys, android developers,are really the heart of this ecosystem. and i think thatyou know that. we've been in this incrediblejourney together for over five years now since the firstandroid sdk came out.

and as vic said, googlei/o is all about you. and we're here to showthat we're listening. and we're here because we reallywant you to thrive. so let's go. let's get started here. the first thing we want to do isgive you a preview of some exciting developer tools andservices that we're announcing here at i/o. and, of course,you'll get to see these in great detail in the 52 androidsessions and code labs that

we've put together just for youover the next three days. all right, so first off isgoogle play services. a few months ago we launchedgoogle play services as a layer built and managedby google on top on the android platform. it includes api that we atgoogle use to build our own apps like google mapsand google now. and we're making these apisavailable to you so that you can make your appseven better.

google play servicesare distributed via the play store. and it's automatically updateddirectly by google independently of operatingsystem versions. this means you have access tothe latest apis consistently on all devices. now, one of the first api's thatwe launched as part of google play services was thegoogle maps android api v2. many of you already useit in your apps.

you're looking here atthe expedia app. and you can see this is a majoruser experience upgrade compared to the original androidplatform maps api. it allows you to build googlemaps directly into your app, amazing vector based maps, full3d movement and rotation, and 3d building profiles. looks really, really great. now, location is a key inputto so many apps. the google maps api is, ofcourse, a huge part of this.

but today we're going to takeit one step further by launching three newlocation apis as part of google services. a first api is called fusedlocation provider. we've completely rewritten ourlocations algorithms, taking advantage of all the sensors sothat location is now faster to acquire. it's more accurate. and we're also adding a new lowpower location mode that

uses less than 1% ofbattery per hour. hugo barra: the second newlocation api that we're announcing todayis geofencing. geofencing lets you definevirtual fences around geographic areas. and those trigger whenthe user enters or exits these areas. you can have up to 100 geofencessimultaneously active per app.

this has been a bigask from you guys. there you go. that's what i thought. hugo barra: so i thoughtyou would like that. the third new location api thatwe're announcing today is activity recognition. there's been a lot of interestfrom the developer community for apps that help users tracktheir physical activities. this new api, activityrecognition, uses

accelerometer data and machinelearning classifiers to automatically figure out whenthe user is walking, cycling, or driving. and we do it in a really batteryefficient way without even turning on the gps. so we think there's going tobe a whole new category of awesome apps that takeadvantage of this new capability. so let's keep going.

another google play services apithat we launched a couple months ago was google+sign-in. and as many of you know, thatlets people sign into your app with their existing googlecredentials so that you don't have to create a new accountname space and users don't have to remember yetanother passport. today we're expanding thatcapability by introducing cross platform single sign-on. it's really exciting.

and i want to show youthat right now. so jai is here in thefancy web site. he's on his computer. he has not createda fancy account. but he is signed into google. and when he tries to fancy,let's say, this margarita maker, he's prompted tocreate an account. he's going to choose google+as his sign-in method here. now here's the interestingpart.

he's getting an option toautomatically install the fancy app on hisandroid tablet. that's pretty cool because nowhe doesn't have to remember to go find it and installit later. it just does it all for him. so he's fancied his mixeddrink machine here. now let's switch over to histablet and take a look. now, jai should have gottenthe notification-- there it is--

that says the app wasautomatically installed on his tablet. this actually just happened. and we-- hugo barra: and when he opensthe app here, because he's already signed in on the fancyweb site, he's automatically logged into the fancy onhis android tablet. isn't that cool? hugo barra: so he goes to themy collection section, which

shows things that he's fanciedbefore, there it is. that's your margaritamachine, jai. that's pretty cool. so that's cross-platform singlesign-on in action. hugo barra: so let's keep going with google play services. last year at i/o we announcedgoogle cloud messaging, or gcm for short. gcm is a service that's managedby google that lets

you seamlessly push datafrom your servers to your android apps. gcm was super wellreceived by the entire developer community. 60% of the top 100 appsin play store today are using gcm. we're delivering 200,000 gcmpush messages every second. that's 17 billionmessages a day. and what's even more impressiveis the average

server to server latency. that's 60 milliseconds, whichis actually 30% faster than when we launched this servicejust a year ago. so the news here today isthat gcm is now part of google play services. and we're announcing three majornew features as part of a major upgrade. so, first, gcm now supportspersistent connections between your servers and google.

with a persistent connection youcan send a large number of messages to many, manydevices very quickly. thank you. hugo barra: second, we'relaunching one of the gcm features that you haverequested the most. and i think you'll like this. upstream messaging,there you go. you can now use gcm to send datain the other direction as well, so from your app to yourservers just as seamlessly.

gcm, of course, does all theclient side connection [inaudible] before you. it automatically retriesif the network isn't up and so on. so it really helps to keepbattery and data usage as minimal as possible. third, and i'm sure you'lllove this one too, we're launching another gcm api thatsynchronizes notifications for you so that when you dismiss anotification on one device--

there you go. hugo barra: so that samenotification goes away on the other device as well. and you'll see more aboutthis here today. all of the three new major gcmfeatures you saw are rolling out progressively. and all you have todo is sign up. and you can do thatstarting today. so to summarize, this iswhere we are right now.

these are the google playservices we've covered already, the maps api, the newlocation apis, google+ sign-in with cross-platform singlesign-on, and gcm with upstream messaging and synchronizednotifications. now we're going to cover onemore service, a major one that we're adding today. so let's talk about gaming. everybody loves gaming. and with the explosion oftablets all around the world,

games are doing betterthan ever. and today we're announcing anew family of apis built specifically for gamedevelopers. we call it google playgame services. so let's talk about that. the first new google play gameservices api is cloud save. cloud save enables you to saveuser data across devices like player progressionand game state. so if a player finishes playinglevel one on his

phone, for example, he can thenpick up is android tablet and start playing rightaway from level two. hugo barra: next, are apis for achievements and leader boards. achievements are virtual trophywalls that make it really easy for you to increaseengagement inside your games. and leader boards use google+circles to connect players and really encourage friendlycompetition.

let's put it that way. so here we are in the gamecalled the world of goo. and from within the game myfriend jai can launch into a leader board and see how heranks against other players. so here in the public leaderboards you can see that he's actually not veryhighly ranked. you can't even find him. that's the publicleader board. but that's ok because he'snumber two amongst his friends

on google+, which looks prettycool until, of course, you see who's number one. now, cloud save, achievements,and leader boards are apis that we're launching not onlyon android, but also for ios and web so you can have crossplatform gaming experiences, which i think is prettyimportant. hugo barra: now here's whereit gets really exciting. the next google play gameservices api that we're announcing today is acomprehensive multiplayer

service for matching players andengaging them in head to head competition. we know, obviously, because youtell us, that building low latency, real time synchronousgames is pretty damn hard. so we want to help. so the first thing we'll do iswe're going to deal with all the hard networking problems andmanage all of the device peer-to-peer connectionsfor you. and then the second thing we'lldo via google+ is make

it easier for your players toinvite friends that they want to play with or against, aswell as quickly find new people that theycan challenge. what you'll see here are someof the developers that we've been working on to integrategoogle play games services into their titles. there's actually lots of gameslaunching today with many of these capabilities thatwe talked about. now, these game apis that wejust talked about are also

part of google play services,by the way. and all the core apis that yousee here, some of the things that we talked about today,will be available via an update to google play servicesthat we're rolling out today to all android devices,froyo and up. and we'll continue to add thebest of google innovation so that you can continue tobuild awesome apps. now-- hugo barra: i want toshift gears and talk

about developer tools. one of the most common piecesof feedback that we get from you all the time is that youwant more options for android development. well, today we want to show youa new android tool that we've been working on. it's called android studio andit's based on the community edition of intellijfrom jetbrains-- hugo barra: --which,obviously, you

guys know very well. android studio is an ide that'struly built for android with the goal of making youfaster and much more productive as anapp developer. now, i'd like to showyou this live. and to do that, here's tornorbye from the android tools team for a quick demo. take it away. tor norbye: good morning.

today, i want to share withyou a few of my favorite features in android studio. as hugo said, android studio isbased on intellij, so it's a fully featured ide rightfrom the get-go. what i love about it is theattention to detail, which makes it a pleasure to use. the ide has a deep semanticmodel of your code and it understands android. so that makes the code editorsmarter and more productive.

take, for example, thiscode right here. this is how your write internationalised apps in android. you don't hard codeyour strings. you look them up fromresource files. well, this ide can figure outwhat the real strings are and show them to you in place in theeditor as if you had hard coded the string. tor norbye: so note that thecode is still there.

it's just easier to read. and we don't justpreview strings. on the next few linesyou can see that i'm manipulating some icons. and those icons are previewedright here in the editor margin. tor norbye: and so, likewise,here's a color file. and you can see that we resolvethe colors and preview those in editor marginas well.

now, when you're editing yourlayouts, you now get a live rendering of what the layoutis going to look like at runtime time. and what makes this reallypowerful is that we have multi-configuration editing. so what if i want to know whatthis layout looks like on different screen sizes? let's take a look. so here it is.

tor norbye: so here, i can seemy current layout rendered on a 3.7 inch phone, 10inch tablet, and everything in between. it's also showing me that i havea custom tablet layout to take advantage of thatextra space. this feature is also greatfor internationalization. so if we jump into the settingslayout for our app, i can now take a look at thelanguages we're targeting. and so, here, i can see mylayouts with the different

message catalogs applied. so i can see norwegianin the bottom left corner, for example. tor norbye: so let's sayi want to make an edit. let's say i want to bump up thefont size on this second label here. i can do that. and that's obviously too big. so let me go back a littleand make it 26.

so now this looksok in english. but notice that in german rightnext to it right over here, this string is actuallywrapping, which i don't want. so at this point i could eithercontinue tweaking my layout or get a shorter translation if that's possible. so, in short, this is a featurethat makes it really easy to ensure that your layoutswork well across a variety of devices andconfigurations.

and while i focused on the codeeditor today, this also works in the full ui builder. we have big plans forandroid studio. we plan to integrate more andmore services into the ide. for example, with the simplemenu item, i can add a google cloud messaging backend into my app. and then i can take advantageof all those great gcm apis that hugo told youabout earlier. and this is just scratchingthe surface of all the new

hugo barra: all right. i think i actually lostmy prompter, guys. i need somebody to advancethat mainly for me, if we could do that. the prompter, please? ok, well, then wecan ad lib it. and so, of course, half of thegame is about building awesome apps, developer tools, andservices, and so on. the other half is aboutdistribution and monetization.

how do you find more users? how do you monetize your app? to tell you about a bunch ofnew features to the android developer console, i'd like toinvite on stage ellie powers from the android product team. ellie, come on up. ellie powers: all right. hi, everybody. i'm ellie and this is miles.

so last year at google i/o weannounced the new google play developer console. and since then you've sent ustons of feedback telling us exactly what you wantto see next. we've taken that feedback intoaccount and today i'm here to tell you about five new featuresthat we're adding to the developer console to helpyou get more users and make more money on android. so let's get started.

the first feature i wantto tell you about is optimization tips. so let's take a look here. we can see all of my apps inthe developer console. and let's take a look at fortuneteller, which is my most popular app. ok, here we go. this app is doing pretty well. but i'm always wondering whatcan i do to make fortune

teller a bit more successful? and that's exactly whatwe had in mind with it analyzes your app. we look at how your app isdoing in the play store. and we offer you insights abouthow you can improve it. so what do we have today? we have two optimization tips. the first one is telling us thatwe should design our app for tablets by uploadingtablet screenshots.

now, this is really important,and i should definitely do it because it will encouragemore users on tablets to install my app. next, it's telling me that ihave a lot of users who speak russian, and they're alreadyusing my app. but my app isn't actuallytranslated into russian. so that's another opportunityfor me. ok, i don't speak russian, soi need to get some help. it used to be a lotof work to find a

translator for your apps. you had to search the internetlooking for a good company. but we want to makethis easier. so that's why today we're nowgoing to use our new app translation service,fantastic. ellie powers: and we'reannouncing this today. this service allows you to getprofessional translations directly in the developerconsole. and we're going to try it out.

ok, it takes just a minute toupload the strings we want translated into the google playdeveloper console here. next, we select the languagesthat we want to translate into. so for today, we're, of course,going to select russian and try to helpthose guys out. next, it's going to show us alist of all the different translation vendors. and then i can just pick onethat suits my budget.

and that's it. google will send mystrings off to the translation company. and then in about a week theycome back and i can download them directly from thedeveloper console. super simple. ellie powers: some of you may beinterested in participating in this pilot program. so please sign up in thedeveloper console today.

ok, now i've gotten fortuneteller ready for the russian market. so i want to invest in acampaign to promote my app. but naturally i wantto know which ads are the most effective. and that's why we're announcingreferral tracking. this makes it easy tounderstand which ads are most effective. and we're going to switch togoogle analytics to take a

look at it. ok, here we're addinga new report in the acquisition section. this is a conversionfunnel report with data from google play. it shows us where our installscome from, like blogs or top websites and otherimportant ads. so here we go. this will allow us to trackthe effectiveness of each

referral channel. so in the left we have each ofthe channels followed by how many users view, install,and launch our app. ok, installations withan app are really just the first step. what you want is for usersto come back to your app again and again. and i want to understand howoften people are using my app. i can do that withgoogle analytics.

but i have to go togoogle analytics. so soon we're going to beshowing these great engagement metrics from google analyticsdirectly in the developer console. you'll have all your metrics-- ellie powers: we want to giveyou all your metrics together in the same place. these two analytics featuresare rolling out later this summer.

so now we have an appthat people are launching all the time. so, of course, it's timeto make money. like you, i just want to havesimple tools to show me how much money i'm makingevery single day. so now we've added a new tabto the developer console giving us a summary ofour app's revenue. you can see your globalrevenue and how it varies over time.

and then we can even showcountry specific revenue. for example, we can check howour app's doing in japan. wow, it looks like we hada great day last week. it must have been ournew in app products. fantastic. so that's it. revenue is at your fingertipsjust like the rest of your metrics. ok.

[applause]. ellie powers: all right, sowe have a successful app. we're making lots of money. so now i'm ready to try somenew features with my app. now it's important. i really want to find out whatdo my core users think about these new features before i rollthem out to everybody? and from your feedback,i think a lot of you want to do this too.

so today we are launchingbeta testing. ellie powers: yeah, a lot ofyou talk to me on google+ about this one and alsostaged roll outs. ok, we now have three tabs inthe developer console, alpha testing, beta testing,and production. we want to start with a small-- ellie powers: all right,thank you. we'll start with a small groupof alpha testers and then roll out to a larger groupof beta testers.

let's set it up. ok, we select the apkfor our test. next, we're going to use googlegroups and google+ communities to controlaccess to the app. keep in mind here feedback willbe sent directly to me. and it's not postedas public reviews. that's very important. ok, so now we haveour new version. we're ready to put itinto production.

but rather than upgrading all myusers in one go, i can now manage the roll out. so we can select a percentagehere, like, let's say, 10%. and then we'd increase it overtime when we're ready. ellie powers: don't applaudat the same time. let's start with 10%on this side. ok, so that was our fivenew features in we had optimization tips, theapp translation service, usage metrics with referral tracking,revenue graphs, and

beta testing with stagedroll outs. hugo barra: thanks, ellie. so just checking, how'severyone doing? how are you guys feeling? pretty good? hugo barra: ok. well, i don't know about you,but i'm feeling pretty api'd out at the moment. so i guess it's probably agood time to move on to

something maybe a littlebit more playful. with that, i want to introducea man whose name is always music to my ears. ladies and gentlemen,our resident rock star, chris yerga. chris yerga: thank you, hugo. good morning, everyone. [japanese], tokyo. thanks for staying up.

all right, so we've just heardabout some great apis and tools to help you build thenext wave of android apps. but we've also been hard at workhelping users discover all your great existing apps. as we heard, we've beensuccessful that way with over 48 billion applicationsinstalled from google play. but our aspirations aregreater than that. so i'm happy to talk to youtoday about some improvements we're making to google play.

we recently launched aredesigned version of the google play store. it has a simple clean designthat's designed to scale effortlessly across phonesand tablets and the web. let's take a look at the playstore on the nexus 10 tablet. so here we have the storeon the tablet. and it's the same content thatyou would see on your phone or anywhere else. but it's presented in a waythat is much more richly

presented here on the tablet. the content's organizedinto collections. we have some movie suggestionsthere. but the new play store isn'tjust about looks. it's also designed tohelp you improve discovery of your apps. the play store home screenadapts to you. so here we see that i'vegot some specific recommendations for me.

i've got a book recommendedbased on a previous book. i'm being recommended the movie"inception" because my buddy advay +1'd it andsome music and apps recommendations as well. but to give you an idea of howthis adapts to different people, why don't go out on alimb here a little bit and put jai's tablet up side by side sowe can see the difference. and so here with jai's tablet,you see he gets the same types of recommendations.

he's got movies and music, etcetera because his friends have + 1'd things or based onhis previous apps that he's purchased, et cetera. but one interesting thing that ididn't see until now is that it turns out you'rea metallica fan? all right. we should hang out. all right, i think we've learnedenough about jai. so these personalizationfeatures are going to be

rolling out over thecoming weeks. but the point is that the newdesign of the play store gives us an excellent foundation fordoing even more than what you've just seen. so we also know that many ofyou have invested a lot of energy in building awesometablet experiences. and we want to ensure that yourwork pays off and that users are able to discoveryour great tablet apps. so starting today, we're goingto be providing a view in our

top charts that surfacesapplications that are designed for tablets. now, this view here-- chris yerga: this shows appsthat meet our tablet app design guidelines. so they target tablet screensizes, use the screen real estate on the tabletseffectively, et cetera. and as ellie showed you in thedemo before, in the dev console you can get hints aboutexactly what you should

be doing here if your app needssome specific tweaks to meet this criteria. so i said that this ui scalesacross a variety of devices. so why don't we show you howwe're bringing this to the rest of play. why don't we pop upthe laptop here. so over the coming weeks, we'regoing to be bringing the same great play experienceto the web as well. you'll notice here that it'sthe same consistent design.

we have the same content herealong with my personalized recommendations. but it's presented in a way thatreally takes great use of the laptop. and we also have a newnavigation model here on the left hand side that easilyallows me to switch between apps, movies, music,and books. chris yerga: you know, on therun through we didn't put a picture of a more handsome manbehind me up on the screen.

but i guess that's fine. so that's the play store. but the ux isn't justabout the store. we also want to bring the samegreat user experience to all of the play apps themselves. so over the coming weeks it'sgoing to be rolling out to all the play apps, books,movies, magazines and, of course, music. so you guys want tohear about music?

music unites us. it's universal. no matter who you are or whereyou're from, the joy of music is a constant. and with ubiquitous mobiledevices, there's the potential to bring that music,bring that joy with us wherever we are. but when a bunch of us on theplay team got together to talk about the next generation ofour music service, we all

agreed that the reality wassomewhat different. yes, mobile devices give us morechoices than ever before. but they weren't helping usdiscover music we loved. it felt more like work. like, when we were kids,figuring out what album to play was an event. it was a ritual. so why is it that managing myque feels like a chore? so we set out to build a musicservice that didn't just give

you access to a world of musicbut also helped guide you through it. and we started from agreat foundation. on this very stage two yearsago, we launched our locker service that allows you toupload 20,000 of your songs, stream them across all yourandroid devices and the web. and soon after, we launched ourmusic store, deals from all the major labelsand indies alike. and so today, users in 13countries globally are

enjoying their musicon play music. but what if we gave you accessto millions of tracks from our store in addition to yourpersonal music library? and what if we combine the powerof google to understand what you want to hear and getyou right to the music without any hassle? a music service that's aboutmusic, and the technology fades to the background. we built that service.

and today i'm happy to announcegoogle play music all access, a uniquely googleapproach to a subscription music service. chris yerga: why don't weshow it to them, jai. let's pop it up on the phone. all access startswith explore. it's the guided way for you tobrowse am entire collection of millions of tracks. and from the moment you enterexplore, we provide

personalized recommendationsbased on your listening preferences. so here's some of mypersonalized recommendations. we also have a section that wecan swipe over to that shows featured content, top albums,and songs as well as playlists from our staff of music expertsthat's always fresh. but if you want to guide ourassistance, we can swipe over and look into specific genres. so we have 22 top level genreswith more to drill into.

and why don't we picked altindie and go in there and show them what it looks like? so once we're in here, you seeexpert powered recommendations here, playlists that are curatedby our music editors as well as top albums from thegenre and key albums that define the genre. but like everything in allaccess, anything you see you can immediately start playing. so jai's picked a trackfor us here.

chris yerga: so,so far so good. but here's where the magicstarts because any thing that i'm listening to in all accessi can instantly turn into a radio station. so jai hits start radio. the song keeps playing. but in the background, allaccess has made us a never ending mix of related tracks. now, if we're curious aboutwhat's coming up, we can swipe

to take a little peek ahead. but more importantly, we can tapon the playlist icon and see in detail everything that'scoming up and tailor it to our needs. so if there's somethingthere we don't want to hear, swipe it away. swipe it away. you want to show themreordering? you can also reordertracks in the que.

so this is radiowithout rules. it's as lean back as you wantto or as interactive as you want it to be. all right, sometimes youknow exactly what you want to listen to. and we're google. so there's always searchat the top. so right now i'm in the moodfor some james blake. why don't you go aheadand light that up.

and so when-- all right, onejames blake fan over there. that's great. so why don't we pop intothe artist here? and when we do, we see a coupleof things that are interesting here about how allaccess blends my catalog with all the millions of tracksavailable to you. so you see here that there'sone album that i previously uploaded to the lockerfrom james blake. but if we scroll down, we seethe rest of his tracks and

albums that are availableto me in all access blended together. and i notice his most recentalbum is available there. so why don't you go aheadand tap on that and add it to my library. so by adding it to my personallibrary, now it shows up here at the top. it's easy for me to accessat all times. my library contains all mypersonal music that i uploaded

as well as anything thati've discovered and added from all access. but other times i just wantthe music to start. i want to get to musicwith minimal effort. that's where listennow comes in. listen now brings the power ofgoogle to surface music we know you're going to love. there's always a fresh setof choices in here. so in my listen now view, yousee the album i just added as

well as some other tracks thati've played recently. there's also new releases fromartists that i enjoy. and you'll also see interspersedin here are radio stations that all access hascreated for us automatically. with listen now there's alwaysa great selection of music available to me for my libraryand all access. and every day it surprises me. i can't wait for you all to haveyour own magic moments with listen now.

so so far that's been allaccess on the phone. but, of course, it worksgreat on tablet and web browsers as well. so why don't we popup the laptop? this is all access onthe web browser. as you can see, it has the samegreat set of features. listen now is here with all mysuggested content, get me one click to music. i've got my library, radio,and, of course, explore.

and i can enjoy all accesswhether i'm on my laptop, on my tablet, or on my phone. so to recap, all access allowsyou to explore millions of tracks effortlesslyon any device. radio without rules,it's completely interactive if you so choose. google powered recommendationsand one click access to your music from listen now. and, of course, the best ofboth worlds, your personal

library blended with ours. that's all access. now, there's a lot morei could show you. but really i want you allto try it yourself. so let's talk about howyou can get it. all access is priced at $9.99a month in the us. but we're also giving everyonea 30 day free trial. best of all, its launchingtoday in the us. and we'll be rolling out toadditional countries soon.

and if you start a trialby june 30, you'll pay only $7.99 a month. chris yerga: that'sall access. it's been my pleasureto show it to you. and now i'm going to callhugo back to the stage. thank you very much. hugo barra: thanks, chris. we hope you guys likedeverything you saw here today. we talked about 900 millionandroid, 48 billion app

installs, a bunch of new toolsand developer services that help you build awesome apps,find more users around the world, and, of course, monetizeyour hard work. you also saw the new google playstore as well as a taste of all access, the brand newmusic experience that's powered by google. one thing we haven't talkedtoday about yet are devices. now, this is not adevice give away. but i do have a prettycool announcement to

share with you guys. the android ecosystem is trulyamazing, great hardware and software experiences, a rangeof form factors, and lots of choice for users including, bythe way, google's own devices with the nexus family that i'msure you know quite well. we continue to be blown away bythe great new devices that are coming out from ourpartners, like, for example the htc1 or the samsung galaxys4, for example. in fact, just like thisone right here.

now, there's actually somethinga little bit different about this particulargs4, for this particular galaxy s4 fromsamsung, something that is not available yet but i wantto show you anyways. so why don't you take a lookat my home screen? hugo barra: so that'smy home screen. i've got my google apps herein my google folder. if you scroll to the left,that's my music widget, my calendar on the other screen.

go into notifications, a prettyclean notification shade and quick settings alsoright at your fingertips. i'm pretty sure you guys aregetting this, right? what you're seeinghere is real. this is a samsung galaxy s4running android 4.2 jelly bean with the same softwareexperience that was shipped on our nexus devices. it's google's take on android. and it feels really awesomeon the galaxy s4.

hugo barra: in fact, thisversion of the samsung galaxy s4 will be available directlythrough google play in the us. we're selling an unlocked modelthat works on both at&t and t-mobile with lte support,16 gigabytes of memory, expandable with a sdcard, of course. and also it is bootloaderunlocked. hugo barra: i knewyou'd like that. and it will receive systemupdates promptly with every android platform update.

hugo barra: this version of thesamsung galaxy s4 will be on sale starting on june 26on google play for $649. so that's what we have. it is a spectacular device. so i want to thank you guysfor your support. i look forward to talking withmany of you over the next three days and seeing youall in the sessions. and with that, letme ask sundar to come back to the stage.

sundar pichai: we're going toswitch from android to talk about our other importantplatform, another open platform, chrome. as i said earlier, chromestarted with the goal to help make the web better, bothas a platform and as an experience for users. it's been an incrediblejourney. we've had amazing adoptionfrom our users. and last year at google i/o wehad reached 450 million or 450

million monthly active users. we had reported weeklyusers before. but we are switching to monthlyto be consistent with the rest of this presentationand industry metrics. since then we've had amazingmomentum, and we've added over 300 million new users just inthe last 12 months alone. and so today we are atover 750 million active users of chrome. sundar pichai: chromeincreasingly is

being used on mobile. what excites us is a lot of thisnew growth is coming on phones and tablets. we launched chrome bothfor android and ios. and we are just beginningto start pushing the mobile web forward. a lot of what you'll hear todayis about how we can push it is in its early days. but we think we can do to themobile web what we did for the

desktop web. chrome also serves as thefoundation for chrome os, a computing system designedfor and but entirely around the web. and we brought a lot of ittogether last october by launching the samsungchromebook, what we viewed as the perfect additional computerfor everyone. at $249, it was thin,light, portable. and people are buying it asthe second, third, fourth

computer in their homes. it's been over 200 dayssince launched. and it's been number one onamazon in laptops for 190 consecutive days inthat time window. sundar pichai: it is anecosystem play, and we have many more partners joiningour journey. acer, lenovo, hp are allshipping chromebooks now. and we're expanding ourpresence in retail. two months ago wealso announced

the chromebook pixel. the goal behind the pixel wasliterally to design the best laptop out there possible. the screen on this laptopis gorgeous. it's the highest resolutiondisplay that's ever shipped on a laptop. and it has full touch enable. its precision engineered withthe best custom components available out there.

our goal with the pixel wasto get it in the hands of developers so that they canbuild the next generation of web experiences. we're going to have a lot moreto talk about chrome os later this year, and we are reallyinvesting a lot in this area. but i want to come back tochrome for a minute. we talked about how in thismulti-screen world people are using different typesof devices, including phones and tablets.

with chrome, our goal has beento make sure it's your web. you sign into chrome, you getyour experience consistently across all your devices,your web everywhere personalized for you. and to do that well,we really need to take mobile web forward. so we're going to show you anexample of how the mobile web is evolving. what we are about to show youis a preview which warner

brothers and the developersat north kingdom have put together for the upcoming"hobbit" movie. and kan is going tohelp me with this. we're going to get thisup on screen. this is running on apixel right now. and as you can see, this iswhat the web shines for. they want a trailer. they want a previewfor their movie. you're not going to write anapp and get everyone to

install an app on everyone of their devices. you write a web experience andyou expect people to use it independent of thedevice they have. so it's on a pixel. thanks to html 3d css, youcan see it works great. kan can touch and move around. the clouds look great. and it works really well. so far, not that surprising.

but we're going toswitch now from a chromebook pixel to a tablet. and we're going to show chromerunning on nexus 10. and you can see there is nodifference in the experience. a lot of what we're going totalk about today is the same capabilities which you're usedto on the chrome on desktop are all coming to chromeon android. so it feels exactly the same wayyou would see on a pixel on a nexus 10 as well.

let's dive in deeper. kan is going to start playinga game on the nexus 10. and i guess the goal of thisgame is for hobbits to avoid being eaten by the trolls. it's a new game upcoming. it is a 3d game. and it's based on webgl. can we get the gameup on screen? we can see it there.

and we are running this, again,on chrome on nexus 10. and the reason we are ableto play this game is thanks to webgl. this wasn't possible onthe web last year. and you will hear thesearch team-- ok, so we have it upand running now. kan's goal is to avoid thetrolls and not be eaten for dinner as a hobbit. i guess he lost very,very quickly there.

[laughter] sundar pichai: look, web gl issomething new to chrome, and it makes this experiencepossible. you will say google maps teamtalk later in the presentation about how they're using webgl. let's show you one more thing. we're going to zoom in the mapin middle earth in a place called rivendell. all this is happening on mobile,chrome on mobile.

kan is going to start swipinghis way through. thanks to web audio apis, ashe gestures around on his touch screen, themusic changes. and you can see how theexperience is very interactive. there's touch and webaudio apis working together on the web. i think you can really startcreating powerful experiences on the web and increasingly runit on phones and tablets.

and we are making a lotof progress there. so i'm going to invite linusupson onto the stage to talk in detail about all theapis we are adding to the mobile web. linus. linus upson: so just a few weeksago the web celebrated its 20th birthday. and the unique properties thattransformed desktop computing from the web, the fact thateverything is a link,

everything is searchable bydefault, makes it possible with just a few key strokesfor anyone in the world to find billions of differentweb pages. applications, video content isinstantly discoverable and shareable, no need toinstall software, no need to update software. and on the chrome team, ourgoal is to make the web better, both on desktop and onmobile, better for users and better for developers.

but that doesn't meanloading the browser up full of features. the browser's a means,not an end. and so we're always trying tofigure out how to make the browser smaller and faster. so we focus on threethings, speed simplicity, and security. and we're bringing thatsame focus to mobile. let's take a look at speedto start with.

when we first launched chrome,it's javascript engine v8 was 20 times faster than anythingelse out there. and in the four and a half yearssince, we've continued to make it faster still. just in the last year you cansee we've improved performance of v8 by almost 25%on the desktop. but the games on mobileare even bigger. in the last year we've seenthe performance improve by more than 50% on mobile.

these are the kindsof things-- linus upson: these are the kindsof things that enable the next generation of themobile web and of mobile web applications. of course, the v8 team is alwayslooking to optimize new use cases because people arealways pushing javascript in new directions. recently mozilla introduced avery clever way to compile c or c++ code down into a subsetof javascript called asm.js.

and this has gotten a lot ofattention recently because it allows you to then access all ofthat code that you have in c and c++ and be able torun it on the web. and this is javascript that'snot written by humans. it's written by compilers. so it looks very different thanthe kind of javascript we've optimized forin the past. and in the last month alone,we've gotten over 2.4 times speed boost running thisasm.js code in v8.

and there's tons moreoptimization to come. but, of course, javascript isonly one component of speed. when you download a web page,more than 60&% of the bytes that come across your internetconnection are images. and it's growing. so we've developed an opensource royalty free compression technologycalled webp. so these two images here, yousee the one on the left as jpeg, the one on theright is webp.

they're both at thesame quality. but let's take a lookat the sizes. the webp image is 30%smaller than a jpeg image at the same quality. the benefits of this for imagerich websites is compelling. it saves on bandwidth. it saves on power, particularlyon mobile and we're seeing it adopted byproperties like google+, like facebook, particularlyon their mobile apps.

oh. so webp supports not onlylossless compression, but also lossy compression, transparency,color profiles, metadata and, unfortunately,animated images as well. linus upson: so you can use webpto replace jpegs, pngs, as well as animated gifs. i'm sorry. of course, videos are abig part of the web. by the end of 2012, overhalf of mobile

internet traffic was video. we need to make videossmaller. with webm, we've created an openroyalty free container media file format for the web. so let's take a lookat two videos. one of these is encoded in 264,which is probably what you're seeing todayon the web. the other is encoded in webm'snext generation codec, vp9. the bar charts show youthe real time bit

rate of the two videos. when we get to the end, we'llsee what the sizes of each are and how much smaller vp9 is. for this particular video-- linus upson: forthis particular video, vp9 was 63% smaller. running across a wide range ofvideos and a wide range of resolutions, we see about a50% reduction in size with vp9, which is a hugebandwidth savings.

so if you're paying money foryour mobile data plan, this is enormous for you. and it's great to see thatyoutube is going to be rolling out support for vp9later this year. now, of course, we want allwebsites to take advantage of these new technologies. but until they're everywhere,what we've done is we've built a data compression proxyfor chrome for mobile. and you can see here it'seasy to turn on.

you can go to bandwidthmanagement to reduce data usage. and it shows you how much datayou're actually saving. so let's take a look at the realdata for one user here. they save 46% of their data overthe course of a month. and when we've been runningthis in the android beta channel-- and many of you cantry it out right now-- we see an average of about50% data compression. we rewrite the html, css, andjavascript to make it smaller.

we transform images into webp. and we speak the spdy networkprotocol to get you fewer bits faster but get you all the bitsfrom the web page that you're looking for. so beyond just making web pagesfaster, we want to make things faster and simplerfor users. one of the hardest things youcan do on your phone today is buy something. the average checkoutprocess is about 21

steps on your phone. so it's no surprise that theabandonment rate of shopping carts on mobile phonesis around 97%. we can do much betterthan this. so by building on the existinghtml5 auto complete spec, we've built something in chrome,both on desktop and in mobile, that collects all ofyour payment information when you enter it anywhere, syncs itacross all of your devices. so now when you come to checkout on a website, you press

check out, you see this form. chrome already knows all ofyour payment information. it shows it to you in a form. you can look at it and you say,yep, that's what i want. and you click submitand you're done. so this is going to makeshopping from your phone much, much easier. linus upson: and there's asession, if you want to learn more about this, later today.

it's called-- i bet it has paymentsin the name. i forgot what it is. but it's on the calendarfor today. standardizing paymentson the web. ok, so not just programs, notjust users, but we also want to make developers moreproductive and make life simpler for them as well. so for the last couple of yearswe've been working on

some new fundamental technologyin the web platform called web components. for the first time you're goingto be able to build your own html tags. you can build your own html tagsby taking smaller bits of html, css, and javascript andputting them into a first class component. and that component can bereshared between applications, between phones, between tablets,between desktops so

that you can be much moreproductive and have applications that are much moredelightful for users. we're also working on the firsttool kit to natively take advantage ofweb components. and in this tool kit it reallycaptures the modern, elegant design philosophy you've beenseeing in a lot of the recent google applications,particularly the mobile ones. this tool kit project actuallyhas been open source since the beginning.

and some of you have stumbledupon it and found it. but it's still very early. but the vision forit is clear. we want this elegant uiframework that works across all form factors, all devices. and we put together a shortvideo to give you an idea about where we're goingwith the toolkit. let's play the video. linus upson: so you can see ourgoal here really is to be

able to allow developers likeyou create your own tags, reuse them in a way that makessense on a phone, be able to take that same component, reuseit on a tablet, combine them in different ways fordesktop applications. and it's something that'stremendously exciting. it's still early, as i said. it's not ready for consumptionby regular developers. but if you're interested inlearning more about where we're going and help us to findthe vision of the future,

please come to the webcomponents in action session on thursday. now, we've been talking today alot about chrome across all of your different screens. so why not build a funexperience to show that off? linus upson: so racer is amultiplayer, multi-screen experiment. and all you need toplay is chrome. regardless of device android orios, phone or tablet, you

just need to click a linkand get started. so we've got some volunteers tocome help us show it off. so while they're coming up,why don't we take a closer look at the devices here? we have a ring aroundthe team. this is arno weber who managesthe chrome mobile team. he's an actual racecar driver. we'll see how he does inthe electronic form. so this game is a simplelittle racing game.

i don't know if you rememberthe little slot car racing games when you were a kid? you pull the trigger, zoomaround the track. but if you go too fast,the car spins out. that's essentially what theseguys are going to be trying to do. so are we ready to switchto the overhead? thanks. so, ken, take it away.

ken liu: great. thanks, linus. ok, so this game isreally simple. once i start the game, all youhave to do is press down to accelerate and letgo to decelerate. basically, when you go aroundthe corners, you don't want to be going too fast. so i'm going to start a racehere and i'm going to join it from these devices.

ok, let me click start. you know, you guys looklike professionals. so i'm going to clickridiculous. we're going to go ridiculouson this one guys. linus upson: i predict lots ofcars will fly off the track. ken liu: all right,so pick your cars. are you going to use this one? then i'm going to usethe ios device. and tap when you're ready.

let's get this game started. you might not wantto hold on yet. ken liu: getting a littleahead of ourselves. linus upson: ready, set, go. oh, the first car goesspinning off. [sound effects] linus upson: now, thisgame is running on google compute engine. and it's able to keep all thedifferent devices in sync

using websockets. ken liu: no, stoprunning into me. linus upson: and it uses webaudio as the sound transitions between all of the differentdevices. oh, someone's made itaround a full lap. female speaker: oh, shoot. ken liu: i'm going to win. come on. i didn't practice all thesedays for nothing.

linus upson: this is just ashard as i remember those little racing games as a kid. ken liu: yes. that was a close one. ken liu: are youguys giving up? still two people arenot finished. linus upson: there's stilltwo people out there? ken liu: that's all right. it's all right.

i think we got enough. we got the point. linus upson: whocame in first? ken. congratulations. he's been practicingthis all week. anyway, thank you all forhelping with that. linus upson: anyway, we hopeyou're all excited, as we are, about where the mobileweb is headed.

and to celebrate the first 20years of the wen, we've put together this short film showinghow far we've come. sundar pichai: it's inspiringto see the 20 year story of the web. it's truly one of the mostamazing software platforms we've seen in our lives. before we move on, let's get apicture of the pixel back up on the screen. i'm also going togo pick one up.

as i said earlier, the goalbehind the pixel was to literally build the best laptoppossible out there. you guys have any idea why wehave it up on the screen and i'm holding one up in my hand? sundar pichai: we're going togive each and every one of you a brand new pixel. i've been asked to say it'snot ready until 2:00 pm. so please don't leave in themiddle of the keynote. but we're very excited.

our goal behind the pixel wasto make sure that developers had a chance to get the webready for the next generation experience with full touchand high resolution. so i can't wait to see whatyou all to do with it. we're incredibly excited. a lot of us use it as ourday to day computer. sundar pichai: so we've talkedabout android and chrome. and our goal behind theseplatforms is to make sure developers can build amazingexperiences on

top of these platforms. we want to now give you a reallife example of how this all comes together. and we're going to dothat by talking about education briefly. a lot of us at google aredeeply passionate about education because it's an areawhere we can really see the impact technology can have onpeople's lives, especially the lives of children.

and so we are investinga lot in education. and for us, the journey startedwith google apps. google apps are incrediblypopular in schools around the world. there are over 25 million usersof google apps in over 200 countries all around theworld, in schools, in universities, and so on. just in the united states, 74of the top 100 universities fully run on google apps.

seven of the eight ivyleague universities-- for those of you who are fromdartmouth, you may want to start nudging your itadministrator there. but seven of the eightivy league schools use google apps. large public school systemslike chicago, et cetera, completely run on google apps. and the momentumis incredible. but we want to takeit a step further.

what we want to do is to bringboth android and chrome into educational institutions aroundthe world so that both google and all of you can buildapplications to really change how computing andtechnology is used in schools. we are beginning to invest a lotfor android in education. and we want to giveyou an update. to do that, i'm goingto invite chris yerga back on stage. chris yerga: thanks, sundar.

so as we've heard, android isgrowing incredibly fast. and its momentum is changingeverything. but there's still a big partof all of our lives and the lives of our kids thatmobile technology hasn't really touched. when i go visit my kids'classrooms, it looks pretty much exactly like it didwhen i went to school. so a bunch of us in androidasked educators why is there so much talk about technologyin schools

but so little impact? and what we heard wasreally interesting. teachers told us that ineducation there's a huge gap between what's possible withtechnology and what's practical, especially withmobile technology. and then they told us it wasgoogle's job to fix this. chris yerga: google should makeit affordable to give every student a tablet. and google should make it sothat it's not so crazy to

manage all those devices. and google, finally, should makeit way easier to find the best tools and content froma really diverse set of developers and get that contentto the right students. we agreed. so today i'm really excited toannounce a new initiative, which will make it easy andaffordable for schools to put android tablets in the hands ofall their kids and to load them up with powerfuleducational content and tools.

and i want to give you a sneakpeak of one of the key parts of this effort, google play foreducation, built from the ground up to meet the uniquecontent needs of educators. chris yerga: so the first thingyou'll notice is that google play for education isorganized by categories educators care about,namely subject matter and grade level. for example, say i'm the k-6math subject matter expert in my school district.

and i want to find aneducational app that my incoming kindergartners can useto sharpen their problem solving skills. so i click on math,kindergarten. and immediately i see a bunch ofapps from a diverse set of partners, includingnasa and pbs. also, each app has beenrecommended by a group of educators as useful for teachingkindergarten math. this is key because teacherstrust other teachers.

so kids numbers and math fromintellijoy looks really good. i'll start with thefree version. remember, i'm not shoppingfor myself here. because this school is usinggoogle apps for education and every student has a googleaccount, i can just enter the name of the google group ofthese students and, bam, all 500 kindergartners in mydistrict will instantly get this app on their tablets. chris yerga: now say a few weekshave gone by and i'm

really impressed with the mathskills that kids are learning from kids numbers and math. so i want to upgrade tothe paid version so the kids can go deeper. rather than enter a credit card,which is not how schools work, i can just charge these500 licenses against a balance funded by a schoolpurchase order. and one more thing, noticethat the store doesn't just have apps.

you can discover books andyoutube educational videos and push them to android tabletsin exactly the same way. chris yerga: pilot sites likekipp bridge charter school and hillsborough township publicschools are already going crazy for this. six elementary schools in newjersey used 550 different third party apps during a singleday in our pilot, all of them discovered anddownloaded by teachers in google play for education.

multiply that pilot by millionsof classrooms in the us and you can see there's ahuge opportunity here for educators, students, andfor you as developers. so this is where you come in. we're doing the heavy liftingof building play for education, bringing it to theschools, making it easy for them to find great contentand buy it in bulk. now you can focus on what you dobest, creating awesome and innovative educationalcontent.

we're going to be launchinggoogle play for education in the fall. but starting this summer, we'llbe ready to accept your app submissions. check out our developermicro site at developer.android.com/edu wherewe've posted guidelines on how to build awesomek-12 apps. also, come find us at theeducation sandbox here at i/o. thanks, everyone.

sundar pichai: it's great to seeandroid making it's foray into education. we're going to invest a lot. we've already been doingthis with chromebooks. chromebooks are really ideallysuited for education because this literally no set up,no administration. you open the device, you're goodto go, and you have the power of web within you. just last year alone, we hadover 1,000 schools in the

united states runningchromebooks. in the four months this year,we've added 2,000 new schools and chromebooks are goingmainstream in education in schools in the united statesjust like google apps. and the area where thisall came together beautifully is malaysia. so i want to talk aboutthat for a minute. malaysia has a nationalizededucation system. they have 10,000 schools inthe country distributed,

several of them in poor,rural areas. so they really wanted to providefor 4g connectivity throughout to all 10,000schools to level the playing field. and they're deploying googleapps along with chromebooks in primary and secondary schoolsso that they can bring computing in their schools. so let's take a look atwhat they're doing. -malaysia has somuch to offer.

there's so much untappedpotential. just to walk into one of thesesmall villages and look at the eyes of those children in thatschool, you see that spark, little fire in their eyes. there's this whole world outthere that would allow you to experience learningbeyond what you ever thought possible. -and a lot of our students don'thave internet access. a lot of them werejust left behind.

-in malaysia we place a hugeinvestment in the education of our young children. -we're providing 4g connectivityto all schools across the country. and the fact that we canspread it across 10,000 schools is amazing. -learning had to beanytime, anyplace. you didn't have to be in a stateof the art classroom. but you could be with achromebook sitting in a field

and experiencing worldclass learning. -it is so excitingto be a part of education in malaysia today. this power that you place in achild's hand and you say, the web is your school. go and learn. [end video playback] sundar pichai: look, to me andto a lot of us, this is what the journey of computingis about.

what we are doing in eductionon top of platforms like android and chrome, we can doit for users everywhere, including the other five billionpeople on the planet. android and chrome are designedfor not just google, but for you all to createamazing experiences. we're going to switch now andtalk about what we are doing on google, what we call as thebest of google on top of android and chrome. you're going to hear from threeteams, from the google+

team, from the search team,and from the maps team. and we'll get things startedwith vic gundotra and google+. -among the most basic of humanneeds is the need to connect with others. with a smile or laugh, weconnect with people every single day. but the meaning of our realworld connections often gets lost online. and so began the google+project to help make

connecting online more likewe do in real life. so you can share the things youlove with the people you love and get closer to thepeople you care about, make discoveries, explore the stuffyou're into, and get together. -so everybody say hi. that's the whole world. -hi. -can i hug you? -yeah.

-we're the first ones thatare doing it like this. it's history. -look, you guys have thegreatest technology at your fingertips. -we have a boy. -thanks, everybody. -this a celebration. y'all is invited. [end video play back]

vic gundotra: we are incrediblygrateful to the hundred and millions of you outthere who joined google+ in just under two short years. and we can think of no betterway to say thank you than to continue to innovate and tobuild a product that people truly love. and so i'm here to show youwhat's next with google+. today we're introducing 41 newfeatures across three major areas of google+.

first, a newly designedstream, a new hangout application, and a fundamentallynew photos experience. we have a lot to talk about. let's get started. let's begin with the stream. now, it's no surprise thatmobile devices are increasingly prevalent andimportant in our lives. it's the computer that'swith us all the time.

and so the google+ has spent alot of time making sure that that core stream experience onmobile absolutely rocks. and the feedback hasbeen fantastic. and so today we're taking thatmulticolumn design and bringing it to lotsmore devices. yes, from your phone to yourtablet and even your desktop, you're going to see a newlydesigned stream. we're also fixing a longstandingproblem with today's social streams andthat's they're flat.

it's very easy to see a longlist of things that have been shared with you, kind of likea never ending newspaper. but it's nearly impossible togo deeper on a topic or interest that you might have. and we think we can fix that. so this new design, thisnew stream, is about design and depth. maybe the best thing todo is just show you. what you're lookingat is google+ as

it exists this morning. what you're going to see startrolling out later today is the new google+, whichlooks like this. vic gundotra: you can see, we'vetaken that multicolumn design and brought it to thedesktop and really made something beautiful. it's dynamic, meaning dependingupon the size of your screen, it can either beone column, two column, or three columns.

and we've made sure togive you choice. so if you go into the more menu,you're always able to go to a single column if that'swhat you prefer. of course, in this multicolumndesign, we've made sure that posts like photos and videoscan span multiple columns. so you get something that'struly immersive. and we made sure that it'sfast, fluid, and fun. and so we put delightfulanimations throughout the product.

for example, a share box thatanimates out, menus that slide in and out to get out of theway, and even cards and that flip and fade beautifully. yeah, it's pretty amazing. vic gundotra: but it's notjust about the design. it's about depth. as i mentioned earlier, it'svery difficult to go deeper on a topic or interestyou care about. we think we've solvedthis problem.

and today we're introducingrelated hashtags. what we'll do is we'll analyzethe content of a post. and google will put on theappropriate hashtag. how does that work? well, let's take a look. here's a post aboutthe san francisco giants baseball team. it's not just aboutthe giants. it's about buster posey, aparticular player, as well.

and note in the top, we'veautomatically tagged that post and we know it's aboutthose two topics. but that's only halfof the magic. we also then rank andsearch the entire universe of google+ content. and we rank it just for you. so when matt clickson one of those hashtags, watch what happens. we flip the card over and wethen show you related items

from the most importantsources and social proximity to you. amazing, isn't it? vic gundotra: now, if you thinkthat's impressive, let's take a look at another oneof these problems. in this case, one of the notedphotographers on our service has posted a pictureof paris, and particularly the eiffel tower. nowhere in his post orin the comments is

the word eiffel tower. but if you notice, google hasautomatically hashtaged this with the eiffel tower. how did we do that? well, we did image analysisand combined with the knowledge graph that recognizes important landmarks. and google knew that this wasabout the eiffel tower. so if you click, why, you canjust go deeper and click

through other posts aboutthe eiffel tower. vic gundotra: now, ofcourse, we deeply respect the content producer. and so you always have theoption of telling google, either on a particular post orglobally, whether you want your content to havethis amazing related hashtags feature. and if we ever get it wrong andhave the wrong hashtag, you could always x it out.

in either case, we think whatwe've built here is a stream that's about design and depth,really allowing you to go deeper on your interests. now, we don't have time to showyou all of the features. there's just too manyto talk about today. but we'll be rolling thisout this afternoon. we hope that you'll absolutelylove it. ok, now let's talkabout hangouts. you know, at google we have apoint of view about software

and technology, namely that itshould get out of the way and allow people to do whatthey do best, that's live, learn, and love. that was true even whenwe started google+. you know, other sites when westarted often asked you to think of your relationships aseither friends or not friends. and we argued that was notreflective of real life. in real life you don'thave this. you have this.

and so we built circles asa core part of google+. and we're happy to report thattoday more than half of all sharing that's done on google+is done to private circles. now, that same dynamic existsin the world of real time communications. when you think about a real timecommunication, somebody you want to talk with, you don'tthink about wanting to talk to a computer. you want to talk to a person.

and yet despite 50 yearsof work in real time communication products, we stillare stuck with gadgets that get in the way. think for a moment aboutsome of the real time communications products, thechoices that you have. some are very nice. they work on one platform. so if you think about yourfriend, you have to ask yourself are they on aparticular operating system?

why you should os's matter? people matter. or think about other choicesthat are very popular on mobile, fantastic ways tocommunicate on mobile. but if your brother is at workon a desktop or a laptop, why should he be left out? or there are other solutionsthat do group video very, very well and messaging. but it's very difficultto do photos.

frankly, even google's ownservices have been fragmented and confused at times. what we want to do is fillin all the boxes. because when we fill in allthe boxes, we believe, finally, technology can just goaway and people can focus on what makes themthe happiness. and that's just hanging out. so we're introducing today anew application, hangouts. and we think we've builta product that is about

conversations that last withpeople that you love. let me show you the product. now, as matt goes to the demohere, the first thing you'll notice on matt's androidphone is the new icon, a standalone app. and matt will go ahead and clickon hangouts and open up the application. now, you're lookinghere at a list of conversations, not contacts.

some of those conversationsor one on one. some of those conversationsare group conversations. but the primary pivot,the focus is on those conversations. now, if matt wants to get hiscontacts, maybe he wants to add someone, it'sone tap away. you can see google will rank theimportant people that he normally talks to and makethat easily available for either a message ora video call.

but let's go back tothe conversations. there's several attributes aboutthese conversations that i want to talk about. the first is my favorite. and that is these conversations can be long lasting. so as matt goes back in time,you're able to see that conversation. imagine that you have yourfamily in a conversation for

many months or a year. there's the holiday party. there's the vacationyou took together. there's important moments likethe birth of a child. all those things are stored withyou even as you change devices in those long runningconversations. of course, we give you theability to turn off history. of course, we give youthe ability to delete those things.

but having the ability to savethose conversations is, i think, delightful and amazing. another aspect is thatthe conversations are rich and alive. your photos are storedin albums. this is amazing. this baby's not even threemonths old and he's already learned how to face pump. but all the images that you'veshared as a family are all

right there. in addition to beautiful imagesthat are easily stored and saved, the conversationfeels alive. look at the bottom. you can there see as peoplejoin, they show up. as they're typing,they animate out. you can see exactly wheresomeone has read to. it really feels like you'rein the same room together. and we think that'sdelightful.

by the way, you're looking atit on the way web, you're looking at it on android, andyou're looking at it on ios, all available today. vic gundotra: and, by theway, two other points. one is a point that hugo made. i think you're goingto love how the notifications are all synced. so if you wipe a notificationfrom the desktop or on android, it'll go awayon another device.

it's beautiful. i think you'll like that. but my favorite feature-- sorry about that. let's go back to the demo. one other feature i didn't talkabout that was pretty critical, which is at googlewe always believed that the best way to do real timecommunications is face to face to face.

and so in that conversation,matt can tap on that video icon and everyone in thatconversation will be dropped into a video chat. there, you can see matt. he's into the video chat andeveryone's being dropped in. group video at no charge. isn't that fantastic? vic gundotra: ok, let'sgo back to the slides. ok, now let's switch topics.

and, finally, let'stalk about photos. photography can be a veryrewarding experience. i know for me it capturesthe most important moments of my life. i remember when i was on thebeach and i asked my kids to stand together totake a picture. i didn't know my son wasgoing to wrap his arms around my daughter. i didn't know my daughterwas going to reach up

and hold his hand. but for the rest of my life i'mgoing to picture them like this despite the fact thathe's now taller than me. that's how i imagine him. i'm not alone. you too have amazing images thatare the most important precious memoriesof your life. but if we're honest with eachother, we'll also admit that photography is verylabor intensive.

it takes a lot of time toorganize, edit, enhance, upload and share yourphotos, time that many of us don't have. at google we think we can giveyou some of your time back. by combining your camera withour cloud, we can do some of those labor intensive tasksautomatically for you. in fact, today we'd like tointroduce the notion of google's data centers beingyour new darkroom. now, what does that mean?

well, when you think ofthe cloud, most of us think of back up. but today we're going to gobeyond back up, and we're going to talk about threeexciting new areas that combine the data center,google's cloud, with photography. but before i do that, let mejust begin with what you already know, back up. now, since we've launchedgoogle+, we've always backed

up your photos, unlimited, allyour photos at standard size. and a few months ago weintroduced the ability for you to choose an option where wewould upload your photos, not at standard size, butat full resolution. and we offered 5gigabytes free. this week we announced thatwe're going from 5 gigabytes to 15 gigabytes free. now, why does full resolutionmatter? well, what you're lookingat here is an

eight megapixel shot. an eight megapixel shot-- you can clap if youwant, go ahead. vic gundotra: i love it whenyou clap and i haven't even made the point on the slide. but i think you get it. eight megapixels ispretty common. some cell phones like thegalaxy s4 go up to 13 megapixels.

and when you have an importantimage, you don't want 619 pixels or 1024 or 2048. 80 you want all the pixelsbecause some memories are not meant to be downsized. and we give you thatability on google+. let's move on. now let's talk abouthighlight. what you're looking at is 686 ofmy vacation photos from my trip to new zealand.

now, there are some beautifulimages in there, images i want to share. but i don't have time topick them out because my vacation is over. vic gundotra: now, i suspectyou've been in the same boat. it takes time doall this stuff. google can pick the bestpictures for you. we can go from these 686pictures to these. it's remarkably accurate.

go ahead. you can clap. vic gundotra: some of you mustbe saying, how did google know those were the best? let me tell you. we do lots of thingsto choose the best. some of things that wedo is we look for images that are blurry. and they're not going tomake the highlights.

we look for images thatare duplicates. i took four images ofthe same mountain. we'll pick one. we look for images that are notthe greatest exposure and they're unlikely to makeyour highlights. or we even do amazingthings like we recognize the eiffel tower. we can recognize in yourimages if you're at an important landmark.

in this case, this is abeautiful shot of queenstown. and we boost that image so thatit's more likely to make the highlights. we also analyze to see ifthere are people there. are the people happy? are they smiling? might make the highlights. our machine learning algorithmshave also been trained by literally hundredsof human raters so that the

machine learning algorithms havenow begun to account for aesthetics, for human taste. what do people find beautiful? and we're able to boostthat image. and then my favoriteis affinity. we recognize who's importantto you, who's in your family circle. and we apply appropriate socialboost so that you're wife and your children arein the highlights.

it's absolutely amazing. we think you're goingto love it. and it's going tosave you time. vic gundotra: this isa shot of what we're rolling out this evening. this is the actual product,the desktop version. you'll note that we'll giveyou your highlights. and right there at the bottomyou could always click and see all the other images as well.

so it's right there for you. now let's talk about enhancingyour images. one of my favorite photographersfamously said, you don't take a photograph. you make it. and if you know a goodphotographer, a professional, you know that's true. professionals can take a goodimage and make it amazing because they have access totools like this, powerful

tools that require lots ofskills that run on expensive machines that takelots of time. and you can do amazing things. the problem is is that for theaverage person these tools often look like this to them,like a bewildering set of knobs that they don'tunderstand. today we're introducingauto enhance. auto enhance is an easybutton to make your memories look beautiful.

we can automatically take animage that looks like this and make it look like this. now, how in the worlddo we do that? well, we're going to show yousome of the things that we do, things like tonal distribution,skin softening, noise reduction, structure,vignetting, red eye reduction, so much that we do. and we don't have timein his keynote to show you all of them.

but we're going tohighlight a few. let's begin with tonaldistribution. all of us have takenpictures that are over or under exposed. you might think google wouldfind the middle ground. we do better than that. remember, our algorithms takeinto account human taste. so we can take an image likethis and just make it perfect. let me show you anotherexample.

let's talk aboutskin softening. now, i'm going to apologize inadvance because you're going to see a huge photo of me. but we thought we'd pick someonethat no one could get offended over. so we'll start that with me. ok, now let's talk aboutrecognizing people's faces. if you have an inexpensive phoneor even an inexpensive camera, those devicescan recognize faces.

but the state of the art todayis to put a rectangle around a face and say, we thinkthere's a face there. we've had several breakthroughsat google where we're now able to deeplyrecognize the human face and skin. we can tease apart exactlywhere is the hairline. what are the eyes, the teeth? is the person wearing jewelry? do they have glasses on?

and we can separateall that out. that breakthrough means thatwhen we do the other effects, things like structure, tonalenhancement, we can do something differenton the clouds, the water, the mountains. and we can treat the human facecompletely separately like a professionalwould in a tool. now, let's talk about oneof those effects. now, how many of you like yourpassport or your driver's

license photos? no one does. well, why not? because photographs oftenexaggerate our flaws. in real life when you look at meor your friends, you don't see every one of their flaws. but in a picture, yousee all of them. in fact, we're goingto make it worse. let's zoom in on this picturea little bit.

like i said, i used my own so iwouldn't offend anyone else. wrinkles, right? but chances are when you'retalking to me, you don't stare at them. watch what happens when we applyskin softening, just gently toned down. let's zoom all the way out. that's the original image. that's with skin softeningenhancements.

just gently and beautifullyenhanced. we think you're going to loveit when we apply this across your photographs. let's talk about noisereduction. maybe you've taken a picturein low light, particularly with a cell phone. you get grain, noiseon your image. look at the sky inthis photograph. well, our noise reductionfilters can automatically take

something that looks like thisand make it look like that. pretty amazing. let's talk about structure. here's a picture that i tookwhen i was in new zealand. i remember that imagehaving more life. it was more vivid. well, what happened? well, the camera palettebalanced everything out so it became flat.

a professional would go into atool and they would add a lot more structure to the sky. we can do that automatically. and so we can take an image thatlooks like this and auto enhance it to look like that. vic gundotra: there's obviouslylots more that we don't have time to talk about. but what we're going tobring up a special tool, a debugging tool.

and we're going to tease apartsome of these effects and show you how they layer on tomake an image awesome. so here's an image, untouchedout of the camera. and we're going to startlayering on these enhancements. let's begin with tonalenhancement. let's add some skin softening. before and after on theskin softening. now let's add some structurefor the clouds.

let's add vignette to emphasizethe human face. and let's go before and thenauto enhanced by google. pretty amazing, isn't it? vic gundotra: onemore example. a beautiful landscapephotograph of queenstown that i took. i think it's pretty great. let's see what google can do. once again, tonal enhancement.

doesn't need any skinsoftening here. structure. a little bit around the edges. darken the edges. look at the original andwhat google did. amazing. vic gundotra: all you have todo is upload your images and we will apply all of this foryou on all of your photographs while still givingyou control.

this is an actual picture or anactual shot of the product itself that's rollingout this afternoon. if you mouse over any photographthat's yours, we'll show you that enhanced icon. and when matt clicks on thatenhanced icon, we'll go back to the original. and if you let go, you'llsee the enhancement. and if you want, you can clickunder the more menu, and you can always turn this on or off,either globally or on an

individual photograph. so we think this is amazing,and it's going to save you lots of time. let's continue on. we've talked about backup. we've talked about enhancing,highlighting your photos and enhancing your photos. now let's talk about awesome. auto awesome creates anew image from one

that did not exist. let me give you an example. we have lots of these. we recognize that you've takenseveral pictures in burst mode or taken around the sametime together. we will automatically gift toyou in your album something that looks like this. vic gundotra: here'sanother example. maybe you've taken lotsof shots of children.

they're never lookingat the same time. go back to your album. you'll see a gift for you. you'll have another one of theseauto awesome motions. by the way, over the past twoweeks in a dark launch state, we've gone through all thealbums you've hosted on google and gifted all ofthese to you. you'll see them turnedon this afternoon. these are five--

vic gundotra: we're introducingfive auto awesome effects today. you saw a demonstrationof motion. let me briefly talkabout the others. if we recognize that you havemultiple portraits together of people, we will automaticallycreate a collage. hdr is self explanatory. we'll do that for you. if we see multiple pictures ofthe same people in burst moder

where they're not all smiling,we will find where they're smiling and we will constructa new image with all of them smiling. it's amazing. vic gundotra: and,finally, a pano. so if you've taken an image, werecognize it's at the same spot, we'll stitch them togetherbeautifully and put that in your album for free. ok, so to summarize, today we'veshown you a new, modern,

multicolumn stream, a streamthat's about design and depth so you can explore yourinterests on google+. we've shown you a new hangoutsapplication, one that's about conversations that lasts withthe people you love. and, finally, we've shown youa new photos experience and shown you what can happen whengoogle is your darkroom. taken collectively, wethink we just put the google into google+. and we've finally allowedtechnology to get out of the

way and allow you to do what youdo best, live, learn, and, yes, even love. vic gundotra: now we'd like totalk about what was possibly your first googlelove, search. join me in welcoming ahmitsinghal to the stage. amit singhal: yes. it's a provocativetitle, indeed, especially coming from google. but i believe withgood reason.

search is dramatically changing right before our eyes. and in the next 15 minutes,i want to show you how and in fact why. but before we dive in, let mejust tell you why i'm so excited to be here. i grew up in smalltown india in the foothills of the himalayas. amit singhal: thank you.

and, yes, that's mewhen i was three. very cute. indeed, my friends askedme too, what happened? growing up, like many of you,i was hooked on star trek. i would watch endless episodesof star trek, captivated by the future technologyit showed. i mean, a computer you couldtalk to and it will answer everything you ask it? i dreamt of building thatcomputer one day.

and little did i know that iwould grow up to become the person responsible for buildingmy dream for the entire world. amit singhal: now, at googlewe are building three experiences that are making hugeadvances towards building that dream. the search of future will needto answer, converse, and anticipate. and today we have announcements

across all these areas. so let's start answers. and let me show you what wehave been up to recently. last year, when we launched theknowledge graph, it was a huge advance in searchtechnology. knowledge graph enabled googleto move beyond keywords and understand real wold entities,unique people, places, and things, and the relationshipsbetween them. knowledge graph allowed us toanswer questions we couldn't

have answered before like whatare the movies by j.j abrams? or what's the release date ofone of the most anticipated movies of the season? now, we have been continuouslyimproving the knowledge graph. with over 570 million entitiesand growing, the graph becomes more and more powerfuleach day. and today i am happy to announcethat very soon you will start getting importantstatistics powered by the knowledge graph.

now you can already find answersto questions like what's the populationof india. however, starting today, we willbe anticipating your next question, which may very wellbe, how does it compare to the population of other countries? and not only will we give youthe answer alongside the trend line, we will show you all thatin comparison to china and the united states, the twocountries who are most often compared to indiapopulation wise.

now, we have launched knowledgegraph in english and eight other languages. and today we areadding polish-- amit singhal: yes, my friends. turkish, simplified chinese, andtraditional chinese as new languages for theknowledge graph. and while we are incrediblyexcited about our progress here, we're just gettingstarted. and we know we can do a wholelot better because sometimes

the answer you're looking foris that song or that video that your friend may have sentyou or it's your upcoming flight or restaurantreservation. and you should be able to findthose answers from your own world without having to dig andsift through your email, your documents, andyour calendar. you should simply be able to askgoogle for your upcoming flight or your trip plans,even your restaurant reservations or the packagethat's about to arrive, and

even, of course, yourvacation photos. now, people who have opted into over gmail search field trial are already enjoyingthis powerful experience. however, something that is asimportant as giving you the answers and giving them to youin the most natural way possible is so that you canpretty much ask google like you would ask a friend and notby having to type keywords into a search box. this is why we have been workinghard on technologies

like voice recognitionand natural language understanding. now, we have already launchedconversational search on android and on ios platform. you can tape the mic, ask googleyour question, and you can get a spokenresponse back. and today, for the first time,i'm happy to announce that all this goodness of conversationalsearch will be coming to all your desktops andlaptops through chrome.

amit singhal: while you canalready use the microphone in chrome to search, we will bebringing conversational search and hot wording, a newinterface, or as i call it, no interface so that youdon't even have to click the mic to search. you can sit back, relax,say ok, google-- amit singhal: ask your questionand have google speak back the answer. so we talked about the power ofbuilding these new powerful

experiences to answer yourquestions and letting them ask you in the most naturalway possible. however, we think that anotheressential experience is our ability to anticipate andsuggest to you the right thing at the right time even beforeyou ask for them. here, of course, i'm talkingabout google now. google now was launchedfor android last year. and within a short amount oftime, it has become a must have for its users.

recently we launched googlenow for iphones and ipads through the google search app,and users are loving it. it's getting better andbetter by the day. and the more you useit, the more useful it becomes for you. and today we are happy toannounce that very soon you will be able to set remindersfor yourself in google now and they will show up at the rightplace at the right time whenever you need them.

amit singhal: in addition, we'realso launching public transit commute time cardsand more cards for music, television, tv shows,and video games you are interested in. now, we are confident that allthis momentum in google now will make google even moreuseful as an assistive tool. and we are very excitedabout it. but what we are really excitedabout is how all these experiences are comingtogether to

make your life easy. and the best way to understandthis is to actually see them in action. i'd now like to invite johannawright on the stage to show you how all these experiencesare coming together in a beautiful way. johanna wright: thankyou, amit. i'm so excited to be here tobring to life what amit was talking about.

let's start with a scenariothat might happen in my family, planning a day tripto santa cruz with my husband and kids. i'm going to walk overto the computer here. and what you see hereis a chrome browser in full screen mode. and amit was talkingabout hot wording. now, this is really hot. we just took it off thepress this morning.

and i've actually never triedhot wording in a room with so much ambient noise. so no hands. ok, google. show me things to doin santa cruz. female voice: here are popularattractions in santa cruz. johanna wright: what you seehere is coming from our the knowledge graph knows thesanta cruz is a place and that this list of places arerelated to santa cruz.

i like the natural bridgesstate beach. it's a nice place to relaxwith my family. but i kind of like somethingmore active. what about the boardwalk? show me pictures of thesanta cruz boardwalk. female voice: here you go, somepictures related to the santa cruz boardwalk. johanna wright: nice. i love a wooden rollercoaster.

so does my husband. it'd be nice to see ifour kids like it too. the only question is willthe drive be too long? how far is it from here? female voice: the drive fromyour location to santa cruz beach boardwalk is 73.9 miles. female voice: that wasmy favorite search. and you know why? it's because i barelysaid anything.

it, here, well, somehow googleknew that it was the santa cruz beach boardwalk andhere was right here. now, the final thing that i'mgoing to need to prepare is where to eat. my kids love seafood. my daughter actuallyloves muscles. and it's pretty funnyto watch a four-year-old eating muscles. so why don't we try and finda seafood restaurant?

show me seafood restaurantsin santa cruz. female voice: here areaddresses for seafood restaurants near santa cruz. johanna wright: now, i've heardof this one, johnny harborside. i can click, look at thedetails, and even go ahead and make reservations right here. so there you have it. this is the latest voiceexperience coming to chrome

and chrome os. johanna wright: now let'sfast forward to my trip to santa cruz. here i am enjoyingthe beautiful weather with my kids. we're going on thekiddie rides. but you know what i'mthinking about. i'm think about how i can getback to the giant dipper, that old wooden roller coaster.

i don't know if my kids aretall enough to ride it. so we can walk over and check. or wouldn't it be moreconvenient to just ask google? how tall do you have to beto ride the giant dipper? female voice: you must be atleast four feet, three inches tall to ride giant dipper. looks like my son can go on. my daughter's too short so myhusband's going to have to wait this one out.

so the next thing i'm going tohave to check is will i have enough time to get to the giantdipper and get back in time for my reservation? now, google now anticipatesmy information needs. so when i swipe up into googlenow, i see the reservation right here. it's at 2:00 pm and it'sonly five minutes away. so now i know i can makeit over to the roller coaster in time.

and when i come back, i canclick on this navigate link and get turn by turn directionsright to the restaurant. so now let's fastforward again. i've ridden the rollercoaster. i'm in the restaurant. we're eating our muscles. and my husband and myconversation turns to an upcoming business trip i haveto new york this week.

usually on wednesdays i takemy daughter to school. but i'm not sure if thiswednesday i'm going to have enough time to get her to schooland then make it to the airport to get my flight. i don't quite rememberwhen my flight is. so wouldn't it be greatto just ask google? when does my flight leave? female voice: delta airlinesflight 1940 from sfo to jfk leaves at 11:30 am on may 22.

female voice: for those of youparticipating in our search field trial, thiswill work today. now, the last time i wasin new york, i was there with my family. i wasn't there on business. i was there with my family totake them to see the sites. i saw some old friends. i had them meet my kids. and my friend katie asked meto be sure to give her call

the next time i'm in town, besure that we can get together. so before i forget, why don'ti get in touch with katie? send an email to katie. i'll be in town on thursday andwas wondering if you're available for dinner. ok, sent. johanna wright: now, katie'sa bit forgetful. so i want to make sure togive her a call right when i get to town.

remind me to call katienext wednesday. what you see here is ourlatest voice action, reminders, that are launchingin google now today. reminders work on times,dates, and locations, including home and work. now, when i set this remindergoogle now will remind me at just the right moment. fast forward again. fly to new york.

i get out of my plane. i go to get my taxi. in the past what i would bedoing is rifling through my backpack for the reservation sothat i could tell the taxi driver where my hotel was. but google now has justthe right information just when i need it. so i can swipe in, see myreservation at the w. i scroll down, i see my reminderto call katie.

so i've talked tothe taxi driver. i've talked to myfriend katie. i'm just sitting back. i'm so excited to beback in new york. i'm remembering the trip i hadlast year when i took my kids around, when they metmy friend katie. i'd love to show katie thepictures from this last trip. now, for my final demo, wouldn'tit be great if i could just ask google?

show me my pictures fromnew york last year. oh, and those are my picturesfrom new york. and there's katie readinga book to my kids. these are the building blocksand the experiences amit was i hope you are starting to seehow it's all coming together. with that, let's welcomeamit back on stage. amit singhal: thankyou, johanna. i'm incredibly proud of thesearch experience that we are building and tremendouslyexcited to bring it to

hundreds of millions of peoplearound the world on the devices they relyon every day. it's important to remember,though, this experience is rapidly developing. and it will take some timebefore it becomes the predominant search experience. there are several complex andunsolved scientific problems that we will have to solvebefore we get there. but our investment andcommitment to getting there

sooner rather thanlater is immense. the announcements today area really good sign of the progress we have made. with more features in theknowledge graph and more languages, conversational voicesearch and hot wording coming to chrome on desktopsand laptops, and new now functionality includingreminders and various other cards, search is reallybecoming a beautiful ubiquitous experience thatintelligently answers your

questions and assistsyou throughout the day across all screens. the idea of building such apowerful means of getting knowledge to the world is whatinspires us every day. with the simple touch of amike, from the queen of england to the most humblefarmer in africa, from the developer who just joined theglass explorer program to that the mother in a rural villagein india who just got her first basic smartphone, everyonecan easily access all

of humanity's information andget what they need to improve their and their family'slives. that, my friends, is the powerof the new search experience that we are buildingat google. and it will change how you andi experience this beautiful journey that we call life. amit singhal: and so we havetalked about the future of search and how it's changingright before our eyes. and we know that a perfect mapof the word is foundational to

delivering exactly what youwant, when you want it, and where you want it. so i'd like to turn it over tobrian mcclendon to talk about the future of google maps. brian mcclendon: thankyou very much. hi. i'm brian mcclendon and i leadthe maps team here at google. google maps help you navigatefrom place to place. but it also helps you exploreand discover the

world around you. today we're going to talk aboutthe future of google maps and where it's going. but to talk about the future,i need to talk a little bit about the past. back in 2005 maps wasa problematic experience on the internet. it was very slow, 10 to 20seconds fora a map, multiple boxes you had to typethings into.

google maps came up with theidea of pre rendering the map tiles, providing that singlesearch box, and making a smooth, fluid experience. and we launched. and many people were veryexcited about it. but europeans had abit of an issue. and they sent thisscreen shot. we had launched with onlypart of the world. brian mcclendon: and it showsthe data is very important.

we worked incredibly hard. and by 2008 we had licenseddata and had turn by turn directions in 22 countries. but we discovered that keepingdata up to date was very hard. we created a project calledground truth. ground truth is takingauthoritative data sources, combining with all of theprocess and algorithms at google, and making the best dataset we can possibly make. recently we launched two morecountries, thailand and

indonesia, bringing it to atotal of 43 countries overall with the ground truth data. but this doesn't coverthe whole world. in many cases, countriesdidn't have good maps. we created a tool calledmap maker. map maker allows users tocontribute their data and make the best maps they can. and in some cases, those mapsare now the best maps that country has anywhere.

and that's helped us cover 199countries around the world. but there's one countrythat was missing. we had some of itin map maker. but just very recentlywe published north korea, making 200. now, you can take alook at what north korea looked like before. we just had this riverand the city name. but adding all of the detailfor google, actually having

people tell us the poi's, theplaces, the parks, the neighborhoods, the street, givesit so much more depth. and there's another thing yousee on this map that was really important to us. geocoded photos changed theexperience of everything. they allow you to dip into aplace and really get a sense of the place exactly. and those geocoded photosinspired us. and in 2007 we launched aproduct called street view

which actually createdthese big panoramas. and we launched it in sevencities in the united states. but those seven citiesweren't enough. recently we launched two more countries, hungary and lesotho. and we now have 50 countriesaround the world covered with street view imagery. we've driven 5 million mileswith these cars. but we haven't just takenstreet view on the road.

we've taken it on trainsup the swiss alps. we've taken it down theamazon on a boat. and even added beautiful imageryfrom the great barrier reef and other placesaround the ocean. and as you can see here, thisis an incredibly immersive so being able to go here, unlessyou're a snorkeler or scuba diver, you'll nevervisit this place. but you can really get a tasteof how the different places look and preview theplace overall.

this was the imagination thatcreated google earth in the first place. imagery is very importantto us. and we've been working withsatellite imagery and aerial imagery for a long time. but in 2012 we startedgenerating new data from our existing aerial imagery. combining oblique images, manydifferent photographs from around a building, we'reactually able to generate 3d

geometry of large,urban cores. and we're now covering far moreplaces with 3d buildings than we ever had before. this idea of generating datafrom other data is fundamental to what google does. we have so many differentsources of it that there are also so many different kindsof areas you can have. we have the base maps. we have street view drivers withgps tracks of their cars.

we have images from street view,satellite, aerial, those 3d buildings i talked about,and also terrain data that we generated. each one of them is goodbut can be improved in combination. and this combination, it'scalled bundle adjusting. and it's incredibly importantto improving the quality of maps overall. you know, one of the bestexamples of this is our local

business data. locating local businessesprecisely is actually pretty hard. but using street view,computer vision, and algorithms we now have over 40million precise geocodes locating these businesses aroundthe world, making ours the most comprehensive data setof precisely located local businesses. so this data is at the basis ofeverything that google does

with its products. but it's also at the basis ofeverything that you do. in 2005 google mapsapi launched. but in the last year we've had30% year over year growth. and today, i'd like to announcewe have over one million websites using googlemaps in their site and improving their site. brian mcclendon: these sites arevisited by over a billion people every week and actuallyget more use than google maps

does on google products alone. so google maps api is incrediblyimportant to us. and it's thanks to people likeyou who've added their google maps to the power oftheir application. now, obviously applicationsare important to you. and you heard about hugointroducing the various mobile apis for android. and they have really improvedthings with user location and the android sdk for maps v2.

we also have googlemaps sdk for ios. and being able to bring googlemaps 3d camera motion and fluid motion into yourapplications, i think, has changed a lot of theapplications around. and the uptake hasbeen incredible. i'd like to quickly introducethe 17 sessions that we're going to have in the googlemaps track over the next couple of days and highlightone thing in particular. there's a product called googlemaps engine that you

may have heard of, uploadingyour data into the cloud. if you can do that, you canserve your data to everybody with the same performance andquality and integrate it with the google maps experience. and with the google maps api,you can actually have your applications read and writethat data set and really change how things work. but now i'd like to introducedaniel graf, who is going to talk about the next generationof google maps for mobile.

daniel. daniel graf: thank you, brian. hi, everyone. i know when it comes to mobilephones, everyone in here is probably here for android. but as most of you probablyheard last december, we launched google mapson the iphone. it has been a tremendoussuccess. the feedback has beenvery positive.

people called it sleek,simple, beautiful. and let's not forget,accurate. daniel graf: so if you're aniphone user, you don't have it on your phone yet, goto the app store. download it today. brian talked a lot about thepower of google maps data. he mentioned we're going beyondjust directions and navigation. maps are also about exploringand discovering places.

and no where is thatmore critical than on a mobile phone. today we're going to announceand we're going to give you a sneak preview of the next majorrelease from google maps for mobile coming to enjoyand, of course, ios. for that we're goingto take a little stroll through san francisco. i'm going to start hereon my nexus 4. and, as you can see, when istart this it's a brand new

design, a new look. and actually we're at moscone. i can zoom in. i can see all the beautiful 3dbuildings, which we also saw in the android demo before. but for now, as i mentioned,sometimes it's about what is the right place to go. so at the moment, let's say i'min the mood for burmese food and here insan francisco.

so i'm just going to searchfor burmese food. and when you look at theresults, the first result we get is burma superstarhas a 4.0 rating, over 1,000 reviews. well, i want to find out more. i actually see my friend,salahuddin. he rated it five stars. i trust his taste. so i want to looka little more.

i just swipe down. i have different imageryi can look at. of course, once you go there,you can rate and review. you can upload photos. and as some of you, herei have different reviews i can see. and some of you noticedhere, there's a rating scale of 4.0 there. so today we're going to announcea new five point

rating scale across all googlemaps products, so if you search for a restaurant ongoogle.com or if you use maps on the desktop or ona mobile phone. now i want to go to adifferent use case. and it's actually quitea common one. now, how often have yousearched for pizza? that's what we're going to do. and we're going to do it thistime in the mission district. and let's see where we are.

let's see what resultswe're getting here. and no surprise, we're gettinga lot of results. and with this new ui,it's very easy to browse through it. i can just swipe todifferent results. i can bring up the detailsand look at is this a good place to go. but something caughtmy eye here. it's the zagat badge.

what does that mean? and before we lookedat user reviews and my friends reviews. but sometimes you wantto have a trusted opinion from an expert. we integrated a brand newzagat experience. and, as you know, zagat is oneof the most trusted brands on opinions about restaurantsand places to go. here you see little cart.

and you see the pizzeria delfinais actually on a list called restaurants worth thewait in san francisco. i can also get all the details,such as the editorial review from zagat andthe zagat scores. so sometimes it's important toget a trusted expert to tell you, hey, this is aplace you can go. now it has been quite a longmorning, an exciting morning. but i'm going go back to wherewe are right now around moscone and downtown herein san francisco.

and what i'm going to lookfor is i'm in the mood for some coffee. so i'm going to searchfor coffee. and let's see what theresults are here. and, for example, well, firstresult, surprise, surprise. there's a lot of starbucksin town. has a high rating. and something else caughtmy eye here, an offer. let's have a look at it.

and actually we have integratedhere a brand new offers experience with greatdeals from some of the world's best brands. in this example, thisis starbucks. and as we see, they'reintroducing a new drink, starbucks refreshersthis afternoon. half price off. please don't run there. i'm giving you a preview here.

and if we go in there,i can get the details about the offer. and then i can save itfor later as well. so we see here theoffer about it. i use it later. and then i can go this afternoonif i want to. we have many launch partnersbeyond starbucks. and there's many more to come. this is the new offersexperience in

google maps for mobile. so now i want to talk a littlebit about directions. and a lot of you are usingpublic transport. i know that when i lookat our numbers. we have currently over a milliontransit stops in the whole world which we cover. and for those who are usingcars or ride around with bicycles, 50 billion kilometersof turn by turn directions.

imagine, 15 billionkilometers. today we're going to announceseveral new key features to make your navigation experienceeven better. for example, we have a revampedincident experience. we're adding live coverageof incidents from all around the world. so in traffic view, for example,you can see in real time incident alerts. you can just tap on it to seedetails and then you know

what's going on. even cooler, another featureis dynamic rerouting. let's say you're driving alongyour route and something happens ahead of you. the conditions worsen. google gives you an earlywarning and it tells you, hey, there's a betterroute to take. so this was the next generationof google maps for smartphones.

and-- daniel graf: as we all know,mobile today is not just about should we go a little bigger? screen size? so i'm very happy to announcetoday that we have a brand new fully dedicated tabletmaps experience. and we're going to havea little look here. so we're still herein san francisco. i'm going to scroll arounda little bit.

and actually we arehere downtown. here's something pretty cool. and, by the way, all thefeatures you have seen on the smartphone and on the tablet,they work vice versa on both platforms. here we're at macy's. we have indoors. we have tens of thousands ofplaces in the world where you can see into the buildings andsee what stores are there,

what you can find outthere, what's going on in those buildings. but sometimes you don'treally know what you're in the mood for. you're like entertainme, show me. what can i discoverin san francisco? i'm visiting here. so you're not typingin a search query. all you do is-- and thisis a new experience.

you say let's explore. and it's a beautiful exploreexperience where you can say, i'm in a mood to eat something,to drink, to shop. daniel graf: it's a littleearly to sleep right now. so i would say, let's play. let's get entertained. and when i go through this, ican go to museums, to public parks, and-- well, let's take one youprobably heard before, the

golden gate bridge. very high rating, 4.6. as you get all the details hereand just at the touch of a button, you want to seehow it looks like there. you have the streetview experience. and, of course, it's very easyto go there afterwards. so this is a new way to exploreand discover your surroundings. there you have it.

so these were just a few of thenew features for google maps for mobile. it's a brand new experience. and as i mentioned, we emphasizea lot on discovery, exploration, better navigation,and a beautiful new design. we are truly excited aboutthis new product. it's coming to your androiddevices and your ios devices, smartphones, and tabletsthis summer.

it's pretty cool, right? daniel graf: thanks. but where are we going to gonext with google maps? as brian mentioned earlier on,google maps launched in 2005. we currently have over a billionusers every month using our products. and as you all know,google maps has defined modern mapping. and we're about to reinventit again.

and for that i want to introduceberni and jonah. and they're going to tell youa little bit more about the future of google maps. berni, jonah. berni seefeld: rememberthe first time you used google maps. and now imagine thatsame feeling again. we have been working onsomething that we believe that's just that.

we looked at we have todayand we saw there's three things missing. number one, you and me andeverybody else, we look at the exact same map. wouldn't it be awesome if youcould build billions of maps, one for every user? and not only that, a map thatadapts to what you do, a map built for you. and number two, google has allthis imagery, from satellite

to streets, indoors, andeven under water. wouldn't it be cool if you couldbring this all together into one experience that wouldbe fun and easy to explore? and number three, what if youcould make everything simpler and more powerful by comingup with whole new ways to interact with the mapitself, making that map-to-user interface. with these three principles andour great data foundation, we went ahead and rebuilt googlemaps on the ground up.

jonah, show us how it looks. jonah jones: this is thenew google maps. jonah jones: focusing the designand the interactions on the map had made everythingsimpler and a real pleasure to use. the map is rich andbeautiful with vibrant colors and textures. berni seefeld: so this is acomputer running chrome. and we're using the latest openstandards like webgl to

make the experience reallysmooth since snappy. these are vector mapsin a browser. so let me tell youa little story. i just moved here abouta year ago. this is a nice neighborhood. and it was an exciting time asi got to explore a new area. and i love exploring. and so one of the first thingsi did was search for restaurants.

and this is our new searchexperience, no more just ten pins. all the results are labeleddirectly on the map. this makes exploring reallyfast and easy. and the top results, they comewith a useful description that gives you a flavor of theplace so you can make decisions very quickly. no need for cross referencingeverything is right there on the map.

the map is the user interface. now, of course, there's thisother way how you can find you can ask your friends. and now you can dothat directly in the new google maps. we added a filter. and now you see those searchresults are the sushi places that my friends have reviewed,like kiji here that my friend stephanie likes.

and these are our new cards. they summarize everything thatis important about this place. but earlier i was talkingabout imagery. and you see thosethree photos. and i love this part. let's take a closer look. berni seefeld: we just flew intoour new immersive imagery and it actually lookslike a great place. i might go there tonight.

let's head back out. clear the search. so earlier i was saying thismap is built for you. let me show you howthat works. so i've been living in thisarea for about a year now. and i've done many,many searches. i've reviewed places, starredplaces, and i made great new friends. and my map got betterand better.

the places you see on this map,they are my landmarks. like frances here, that's one ofthe first places i went to. it's a great restaurant. i love it and i keepgoing back. so it's very important to me. and just the other day someonetold me about a bike shop and said it's right nextto frances. and i knew exactlywhere it is. it is a landmark for me andthat's why it's on my map.

but it's a fairly small place. so it might not beon jonah's map. it might not be on your map. but it's a landmark for me,and so it's on my map. and when you are logged in,you get your map and we'll highlight everything thatis important to you. now, it's not just aboutall the places that i already know. a good friend of mine is in townfor i/o. and i thought we

could try a new restaurant. my map is going to helpme with just that. see these places here, theyare recommendations. like bar tartine showsup because it's similar to frances. and i looked like frances soit's a recommendation for me. and foreign cinema showsup because my friend anita likes it. so these two look likegreat options.

and this is how google mapshelps you discover new places without even having to search. so this is how we can build amap for you using the same data as google now so it willget better and better the more you use it. berni seefeld: so that'show we build a map for every person. now let me show you how we builda map for every place. so next weekend some friendsof mine from italy are in

town, and they have children. so i thought we could goto the randall museum. it's near my home, and it'sreally great for kids. but it's a little bittricky to get to. see, this little road here thatleads up to the museum, it's not even labeled. and that makes perfect sense. it's a very small unimportantroad. but it's important forthe randall museum.

so watch what happenswhen we click on it? now the street is labeled andall the other streets that lead to this place arehighlighted as well. berni seefeld: let'shave another look. before, a regular map. and after the roads arehighlighted and labeled. this map makes it so much easierto understand how to get to this place. so we can build a uniquemap for every

place on every click. isn't that amazing? berni seefeld: but i know myfriend's kids and they will definitely want toexplore more. now that's going to be reallyeasy because now all the landmarks you see onthe map are related to the randall museum. and so they're all aboutkids and museums. you can see the cartoonart museum.

you can see the waltdisney museum. and when we click on that, weget a whole new map with new places to explore. so we can click on theexploratorium. and when we click on exploratorium, another map appears. so we can keep goingand going. this is a great way toexplore new places. berni seefeld: it'sreally east, just

clicking and clicking. so it's simple and powerful. so now let's see howwe can get there. so we could click hereon directions. but for the most common casethere's an even simpler way. see, my home is rightthere on the map. and it says a 60 minute drive. so if i want to get directionsfrom my home, i can just click on that.

and this is our new directionsexperience. berni seefeld: a great newthing is that we directly compare driving with publictransit on the map. and that's going to be reallyuseful because this weekend we won't have a car. and we wanted to make publictransit much, much smarter. before, we showed you thenext three departures. but now we are going to lookat every departure, every second, for the entirenext week and

summarize that for you. so you can see here that youcan take any of these lines and they run everythree minutes. so that makes taking publictransit so much easier. berni seefeld: and if you wantmore details, you can use our new schedule viewer. berni seefeld: so thekids, they don't want to walk too much. so i'm looking for a trip thathas less walking and less

transfers even if ittakes a bit longer. and, here, that lookslike a great one. so this is the future ofgetting directions. jonah jones: now, as briantalked about earlier, we've collected tons of imagery. and we made a real focus of thedesign to make sure it's easy and fun to explore. berni seefeld: so my friends,they're from rome, and so they insist that next time icome and visit them.

so let's take a trip. so this is a really nice3d model of the but can we have a morerealistic view? berni seefeld: no plug-ins. no downloads. this is the googleearth experience right here on a browser. berni seefeld: andthat's not all. you see those row of imagesat the bottom.

these are other greatviews of that area. that makes it reallyeasy to explore. and the beauty of this placeis really on the inside. so let's go on a tour. berni seefeld: this is a3d photo tour that is automatically generated fromuser uploaded photos. so it will only getbetter and better. so let's head backto san francisco. so this is the moscone centerfrom a skydiver's perspective.

but before the keynote startedi came up here on stage. and with the camera up on myandroid phone, i took a photo sphere and submittedit to google maps. and there it is. berni seefeld: this is how youguys look from up here. so everybody can upload a photosphere and submit it to google maps. and so it's like user generatedstreet view. and we also took aphoto sphere out

there on our geo pod. and if you go there tomorrowmorning, we'll have [inaudible]. and you can get the experienceyou just saw with elite motion. berni seefeld: let'sget back out. so we jump back out. and as we're zooming out andwe're leaving the earth's atmosphere, you can seethe whole world.

berni seefeld: and those clouds,they're real time. berni seefeld: but wecan go further. berni seefeld: this is the earthtraveling through space. and you can see the starsand the milky way at the right position. and as the sun sets behindthe earth, the night lights come out. and this is the futureof google maps. brian mcclendon: berni, jonah,this is beautiful.

now, when are we goingto get this? how long is it going to takefor you to deliver? berni seefeld: i don't thinkthese people want to wait. brian mcclendon: do youguys want to wait? audience: no. berni seefeld: well, youcan try this today. this is the new google maps. it has a previewon the desktop. so it's the perfect thing totry to with your new pixel.

berni seefeld: so when you pickit up, check your inbox and you will have an invite. and everybody else, please go tomaps.google.com/preview and sign up and we'llsend the first invites tomorrow morning. brian mcclendon: thankyou very much, berni, jonah, and daniel. brian mcclendon: so that isthe future of google maps, data, apis, a beautiful newgoogle maps for mobile coming

in the summer, and a desktopmaps coming to you in the room today. so with that, i'd like to thinkthe geo team and all the people who have worked onthis because it has been incredibly hard. but with that, the futureof google maps. larry page: it was actually awhile ago i asked for the picture of the earth at night. and i'm really excited tofinally have gotten it.

although, i'm still waiting,actually, for a higher resolution. so let's give a big around ofapplause to the maps guys. i think this is amazing. larry page: i'm reallyexcited to be here. and first i want to startwith a story. i was very, very luckygrowing up. and i was thinking about this aswe were preparing for this google i/o.

my dad was really interestedin technology. and i was just remembering heactually drove me and my family all the way across thecountry to go to a robotics conference. and then we got there and hethought it was so important that his young son go to theconference and one of the few times i've seen him really arguewith someone to get in someone underage successfullyinto the conference. and that was me.

and one of the themes i justwant to talk to you about is how important it is for us, allof the developers here in the room and watching, to reallyfocus on technology and get more people involvedin it. and also thinking about my dad,his degree, he was lucky enough to get a degree incommunications sciences. and you might askwhat the heck is communication sciences? that's what they calledcomputer science when

computers were a passing fad. sounds kind of funnynow, right? but there was a timewhen that was true. and i think everyone today isexcited about technology. we don't have to worry aboutthat so much anymore. and i think that android andthings like that are being adopted much faster thananything else in the past. i look at the rate of adoptionof those things, on almost any basis they are much,much faster.

and it's incredible. when i pull out my smartphone,it's amazing what we have on the smartphones. we have almost every sensorwe've ever come up with. i recently got a scale and itmeasures air quality and uploads it to the internet. i'm sure those things will endup in your smartphone. that's amazing. your phone can talk to anyonein the world almost anywhere

in the world. and i was kind of remarking, iwas talking to my teams about this, if you take out your phoneand hold it out, it's almost as big as the tv orscreen you're looking at. and it has the same resolutionas well. and so if you're nearsighted,which i see many of you out there with glasses-- and even some googleglasses, thank you. i think many of youare near sighted.

and, you know, smartphone and abig display are kind of the same thing now, which isamazing, absolutely amazing. so i think we also have a lotmore devices that we use interchangeably. you know, we use tablets,phones, laptops, and even the google glass, all thosethings we're using. and that's why we put so muchfocus on our platforms, on it's really important in helpingdevelopers and google build great user experiencesacross these different devices

to have these platforms. and i'm tremendously excitedabout all the innovation that you're bringing to life. technology should do the hardwork so that people can get on with doing the things that makethem happiest in life. take search for example. perfect search engine, as amitmentioned, is the star trek computer, right? and understand exactly what youmeant and give you exactly

what you wanted. and our knowledge graph, whichyou saw, really brings that a lot closer. i think google now, whichjohanna just demonstrated, gives you information withouteven having to ask and it understands the context of whatyou talked about before so you can use thingslike pronouns. flight times, your boardingpasses, directions, next appointment, allwith no effort.

think about a really smartassistant doing all those things for you so you don'thave to think about it. you saw how easy some ofthose experiences felt. and we're just gettingstarted. the opportunities we haveare tremendous. you know, we haven't seen thisrate of change in computing for a long time, probablynot since the birth of personal computing. but when i think about it, ithink we're all here because

we share a deep sense ofoptimism about the potential of technology to improvepeople's lives and the world as part of that. and i'm amazed. every day i come to work thelist of things that needs to be done is longer thanthe day before. and the opportunityof those things is bigger than it was before. and because of that, i thinkwe, as google, and as an

industry, all of you, are reallyonly at 1% of what's possible and probablyeven less than that. and despite the faster change wehave in the industry, we're still moving slowrelative to the opportunities that we have. and some of that i think isdue to the negativity. you know, every story i readabout google is kind of us versus some other companyor some stupid thing. and i just don't find thatvery interesting.

we should be buildinggreat things that don't exist, right? larry page: you know,being negative is not how we make progress. and most important thingsare not zero sum. there's a lot of opportunityout there. and we can use technology tomake really new and really important things that makepeople's lives better. and if i think back to a longtime ago, a very long time

ago, all of humanity wasbasically our farming or hunting all the time. and if you lived at that timeyou probably hoped that you could feed your family. and, unfortunately, that's stilltrue for a lot of people but certainly for us we don'tworry about that. and the reason for thatis technology. we've improved how wegrow food and so on. and the technology of that hasallowed people to focus on

other things if they choose. by the way, i think being afarmer's great if that's what you want to do. but it's not great if that'swhat you have to do. and that's what technologylets us do is free up ourselves to do moredifferent things. and i'm sure that people in thefuture will think we're just as crazy as we thinkeveryone in the past was at having to do thingslike farming and

so to give an exampleof this sergey and i talk a lot about cars. you know, he's working onautomated cars now. and imagine how self drivingcars will change our lives and the landscape. more green space, fewerparking lots, greater mobility, fewer accidents,more freedom, fewer hours wasted behind thewheel of a car. and the average americanprobably spends almost 50

minutes, five, zerominutes commuting. imagine if you got most ofthat time back to use for other things. and, unfortunately, even inother countries commute times are still pretty large, notquite as large as the us, but still very significant. now to get there we need morepeople, more people like you, markets falling in love withscience and math at school, more students graduating withscience and engineering

degrees, and more peopleworking on important technological problems. and it's why google got involvedwith the movie "the internship." i'm not sure we entirelyhad a choice. but they were making a movie. we decided it would begood to get involved. lorraine's upfront. she's really responsiblefor that.

and i think the reason why wegot involved in that is that computer science has amarketing problem. where the nerdy curmudgeons. i don't know about you,but that's what i am. and, well, in this movie theguy who plays the head of search, the amit singhal youjust saw, is by far the coolest characterin the movie. and we're really excitedabout that. so i think today we're stilljust scratching the surface of

what's possible. that's why i'm so excited. google's really working on theplatforms that support all of your innovations. i cannot wait to seewhat comes next. i got goosebumps as i waswatching some of the presentations here. and i really want to thank youfor all of your contributions. so with that, i'm going todo something kind of

unconventional and try to takesome questions, actually, from all of you. so i've got two microphones setup towards the back here. and don't be shy. line up and ask somequestions. i'm sure some of youhave thought of some good questions. and we'll get started. so thank you so much.

larry page: all right, sowe got a few racing up. please line up so we can getthrough them quickly. and one question perperson, please. we have 6,000 people. i also want to call out theone million people. it's over one million peoplewatching this live on youtube. it's just unbelievable. so let's thank themfor participating. larry page: ok, yes, sir,on the left here.

audience: i'm robert scobler,one of the first glass-holes. so thank you. larry page: yeah. audience: thank you forgetting my glass. larry page: robert, i reallydidn't appreciate the shower picture though. audience: here at google i/oseveral contextual things start coming out. we start seeing an api that'sgoing to tell us whether we're

walking or running or whatnot. where are you going to take thatin the future now that we have more sensors? and are you going to talk aboutthe little sensor inside the google glass thatwatches our eye? larry page: yeah, that'sa great question. i mean, this is a bigarea of focus. i think you saw that inthe presentations. i think really being able to getcomputers out of the way

and really focused on whatpeople really need. mobile's been a great learningexperience, i think, for us and for all of you. you know, the smallerscreens, you can't have all this clutter. i think you saw on the newgoogle maps how we got all sorts of stuff out of the way. there's like 100 times lessthings on the screen than there was before.

and i think that'sgoing to happen with all of your devices. they're going to understandthe context. just before i came on stage,i had to turn off all of my phones so i'm not interruptingall of you. that's crazy. that's not a very hardthing to figure out. so all that context that's inyour life, all these different sensors are going to now pickthat up and just make your

life better. and i think that we're, again,only at the very, very early stages of that. this is very, very exciting. all right, let's takeanother question. yes. audience: hello, larry. my name is buckner. i have the opportunity to workat mozilla on a lot of the web

technologies with youguys here at google. and i saw a lot of the great webtechnologies you had here on display. and i know people had thisquestion leading up to google i/o. but are we ever going tosee the web upleveled in android or subsume what is therenow to be the operating system of mobile andyour platform? larry page: sorry. you're asking about thefuture or the web?

audience: yeah. are we going to see it-- i mean, android rightnow runs on java. it's a native platform. it's great in a lot of ways. are we going to see the weband all the fantastic technologies you showedoff here today be the center of that? larry page: well, i think we'vebeen really excited

about the web, obviously,being birthed from it as a company. and i think that-- and we've really invested alot in the open standards behind all that. i've personally been quite sadat the industry's behavior around all these things. if you just take something assimple as instant messaging, we've kind of had an offerforever that we'll

interoperate on instantmessaging. i think just this week microsofttook advantage of that by interoperating with usbut not doing the reverse, which is really sad, right? and that's not the wayto make progress. you need to actually haveinteroperation, not just people milking off one companyfor their own benefit. so i think google has alwaysstood for that. i've been sad that the industryhasn't been able to

advance those things, i think,generally because of a focus on negativity and onzero sum games. so we try to be on the rightside of all those things. but we also try to be practicaland look at what other people are doing and notjust rely on our principles to shoot ourselves in the foot andour users in the process. so i don't know how to dealwith all those things. and i'm sad that the web isprobably not advancing as fast as it should be.

we certainly struggle withpeople like microsoft. we've had a great relationshipwith mozilla, i think, and value that deeply. i'd like to see more openstandards, more people getting behind things that just work andmore companies involved in those ecosystems. i think that's why thisconference is so important. but i wouldn't grade theindustry well in terms of where we've gotten to.

in the very long term, i don'tthink you should have to think about as a developer am ideveloping for this platform or another or somethinglike that. i think you should be able towork at a much higher level. in software you should runeverywhere easily. and people like mozilla shouldbe able to add meaningfully to that and make platformsand other things. so that's how i wouldthink about. audience: thank.

larry page: it's a very,very complex an important question though. yes, yes. yes, mam. audience: hi, i'mfrom colombia. and the only reason because ididn't quite finish my law studies was thanks to google. so i have dreamed in thisquestion many times. and i would like to ask you howgoogle will let us protect

our freedom of speechthrough internet. i mean, i think-- yeah. larry page: i mean, this ispart of the area where business gets interesting,right? i think we at google prettyclearly have a strong desire for freedom of speech for freeflow of information. and one of the main things we dois probably translate that into practice in hundreds ofcountries around the world and

make sure we're talking togovernment leaders and making sure we're helpingadvance that. and our chairman, eric schmidt,has been kind of traveling the world talkingabout that. and i really applaud thoseefforts and thinking about. so we're working very hard onthat, making sure we're protecting your privateinformation, making sure that we're ensuring computersecurity, which is required to make sure we're protecting yourfreedom of speech and

your private information as partof that and making sure we're being as transparent aswe can about the requests we get from government andthings like that. so this is a big areaof focus for us. and hopefully we can do a lot tohelp the world and move it along there. it's a very difficult andimportant issue also. yes, another great question. audience: i'm ryanfrom provo, utah.

just recently google fiberwas announced for there. and part of the marketingcampaign is 100 times the speed, 100 times thepossibility. what do you see as thepossibilities from that fast of internet? larry page: well, i think froman engineering point of view it's just kind ofa no brainer. i mean, we got started buildingdata centers. and one of the biggestproblems we have was

networking in thedata centers. and so i guess has a computerscientist i just view it as kind of sad we have all thesecomputers out there and they're connected to each otherthrough like a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny little pipethat's super slow. and so in a sense, all thecomputers we have in the world, most of them arein people's houses. most of them can't be usedfor anything useful. so it's a obviously ways togo from where we are now.

we don't really have softwarethat's designed to use those things yet. we know if we build thatcapacity, we'll be able to use those computers for all sortsof interesting things. and even basic things like thebandwidth of your visual system is pretty highcompared to the bandwidth most people have. and it think it's pretty clearwe want to deliver bits to your eyes just asa basic thing.

so i'm really excited about whatwe'll be able to do and what you'll all be able to doas we get more people with super high speed connections. and probably gigabits or justthe beginning for that. what we really need are lowlatency connections that operate at computer speed,whatever that is that you have inside your house. so i'm really excitedabout that. so we're just getting started.

all right, in the middle now. the black shirt there. audience: i'm [inaudible] from vancouver. we've seen google move intosome physical real world products like google fiber andthe autonomous self driving cars and their renewable energycheaper than coal initiatives. curious if you can elaborateon further projects that

google is planning to get intoregarding physical world type well, my compatriot, sergeybrin, who last year arranged the sky diving, butthis year did not, i mean, he's focused-- google x is focused on real sortof atoms and not bits. and part of why i feel there'sa lot of opportunity there. and sergey's having a greattime doing that. and that's, i think,a really, really fascinating an amazing job.

i think that possibilities forsome of those things are incredibly great. if you look at technologyapplied to transportation, it hasn't really started yet. we haven't reallydone that out. so i think automated cars arejust one thing you could do. you can do many, manyother things. so i think we're very excitedabout that area. and we also think it's a waythat the company can scale.

i think that to the extentall of our products are interrelated, we actually needto do a fair amount of management of those projectsto make sure you get a seamless experience, both as auser and a developer, that it all makes sense. when we do some of these otherkinds of things like automated cars, they have a longer timeframe and less interaction. and so i'd actually encouragemaybe more companies to try to do things that are a little bitoutside their comfort zone

because i think it gets themmore scalability in what they can get done. and so i think we've beensurprised also even when we do things that are kind of crazylike automated cars, it turns out you just saw the mappingstuff we finished with. the technology for doing mappingand automated cars turns out to be the same. and so we have a bunch of greatengineers that have just moved over from those effortsand they did it naturally and

scalability. and they're excited about it. and so i'm really, reallyexcited about that too. so every time we've donesomething crazy-- gmail, when we launched it, ithink we had 100 people in the company when we launchedgmail. and people said, you're nuts. you're a search company. why are you doing gmail?

it's because we understandthings about data centers and serving and storage thatwe applied to email. and that was a greatthing we did that. and so i think almost everytime we've tried to do something crazy we've madeprogress, not all the times but almost every time. so we've become a bitemboldened by that. and the good news is too, nomatter how much money we try to spend on automated cars orgmail in the early stages,

they end up being small,small chunks. so they don't really causea business issue either. and i tried to talk aboutthat in my remarks. that's why i say i think we'reat 1% of what's possible. yeah, another question. hi, larry. it's greg with the d-sky 9. we're developing appsfor google glass. and i was really excited to seeall the new things that

google is providing and alsorealize that it kind of trounced a bunch of existingbusinesses. i was wondering if you couldspeak to what you feel are the largest area of opportunitiesfor developing on glass outside of what google willprovide naturally. and a bonus question, what willbe the production run for glass for consumers. larry page: well, i mean, i'dhave to ask sergey that. so i don't know what theproduction numbers will be.

so i think we're more focusedon with glass-- glass is a new category. it's quite different thanexisting computing devices. and so i think it's great thatwe've started on it. but i think our maingoal is to get happy users using glass. and so we've put a bunchout to developers. i see a lot of people withthem in the audience. we want to make sure we'rebuilding experiences that

really make people happy. and so the team has tried tobuild the minimal set of things, just for practical sake,minimal set of things that will provide agreat experience and make happy users. and then, you know, we can getgoing and work on it for the next 10 years. and every successive one isgoing to be better obviously. so i think part of the answeris we don't know.

i think the basic usecases we have around photography are amazing. i love taking pictures mykids with glass and movies and so on. and i find that forme that's enough. i have the young kids. for me that's enough reasonto have glass just there. i think if you didn't have youngkids you might not feel exactly that way.

i'm not sure. i have young kids,so i can't tell. communications are alsopretty amazing. navigation is amazing. certainly if you're walkingif you're in manhattan or something. having glass for navigationis unbelievable. i find it's really,really nice. and so navigations is amazing.

some of the core experienceswe have are, i think, pretty amazing. communications, phonecalls, sms, voice. you saw the things we'redoing around voice. it's amazing to always have thedevice there to do that. so i think ultimately,a lot of your experiences can move to glass. and we're relying on all of youto figure all that out. we're trying to get the basething to make happy users so

we can get on with it. audience: we're alignedwith that. larry page: you're welcome. yes, over here. audience: hi, my nameis caleb allen. and i was wondering what adviceyou would give to the rising generation oftechnologists? what would help technology keepmoving at the pace it's been moving at for the lastfive or ten years?

and how would they dothat responsibly? larry page: yeah, i mean,that's a good question. i think for me, i actually tryto use google a lot and i research things really deeply. so, you know, before we getsomething started, i try to actually understand it. and not just really understandit, like, understand the crazy people in the area. and google's great for that.

you can find the craziest personin any given area. and i think normally peopledo not do that. so i think you want tothink about the base thing, whatever it is. we've been, obviously, workingon smartphones a lot. they're relativelyexpensive now. with nexus 4 we tried toimprove that a bit. but, you know, if you look atthe raw material costs of a smartphone, i guess mostly glassand silicon, tiny bit of

silicon, a little bitof fibre glass. i don't know, the raw materialscosts of it is probably like $1 or somethinglike that. i think glass is $0.50 a poundor something like that. certain metals are$0.20 a pound. phones don't weighvery much, right? and silicon is very,very cheap. so, i think, when i see peoplein industries who are making things, i ask this question,like, how far are you off the

raw materials cost? and they never know the answerto that question. so i think kind of as anengineer or as a technologist trying to go to first principlesand say, what is the real issue? what is the real issue aroundour power grids? or what's the real issuearound manufacturing or whatever it is? i think people usually don'tanswer those questions.

and as a result, most of thework that's done is very incremental. and because of that, we don'tmake the progress we need to. with that said, i mean,it's very hard. if you're going to make asmartphone for a dollar, $1, i mean, that's obviously almostimpossible to do. but i think if you took a 50year time frame or something like that, if you took a longerview, you'd probably start to make the investmentsyou needed to.

and along the way you'd probablyfigure out how to make money. so i'd just kind of encouragenon incremental thinking and a real deep understanding ofwhatever you're doing. that's what i try to do. yeah, all the way overon the right. and then i'll makeanother pass. audience: i have a questionabout the future of android. so with oracle taking controlof java seven forward.

how does google and advanceandroid when one of the core technical underpinnings is notnecessarily in its control? larry page: yeah, i mean,we've had a difficult relationship with oracle,including having to appear in court as a result of it. again, i think we'd liketo have a cooperative relationship with them. that hasn't seemed possible. and i think, again, probablymoney is more important to

them than having any kindof collaboration or things like that. so i think that's beenvery difficult. i think we'll getthrough that. and i think, obviously,android's very, very important to the java ecosystem. and so we'll get throughthat just fine, just not in an ideal way. larry page: yeah, anotherquestion.

audience: hi. my name is prishan. i'm an android developerfrom india. i'm a heave google user. and most of my opinion,actually, i can trace back to a google search. and as we saw today, it'sbecome more and more personalized and predictive. i kind of worry that it kindof enforce my worldview and

kind of rule out thepossibility of some serendipitous discovery ofother side, you know? so any comment on that? larry page: yeah, that's areally great question. people have a lot ofconcern about that. i'm totally not worriedabout that at all. and it sounds kindof funny to say. but that's totally underyour control and our control, as google.

so i think it's very importantto have a kind of widened world view, to have education,all those kind of things. but the right solution tothat is not randomness. so you can't really argue doinga bad job of returning whatever you wanted is theright way to educate you. it's just not. it'd be better to return exactlywhat you wanted when you wanted and use that savedtime to have you read the news or read textbooks or books orother things that might be

more general. and we can put that intothe algorithms. so i guess in my very long termworldview, 50 years from now or something, hopefullyour software understands deeply what your knowledgeableabout, what you're not, and how to organize the world sothat the world can solve important problems. you know, people are startingin the world not because we don't have enough food.

it's because we'renot organized to solve that problem. and our computers aren'thelping us do that. so i think if you think aboutit that way, if you think about we need to make computersoftware and the internet that helps people solve importantproblems in the world, that will cause, as a side effect,for people to be educated about the things they shouldget educated about. and that's not thesame as a demand.

i'm asking for a particularthing i'm searching for. those are different modes. so just kind of make sure we'reserving both modes and that computers canhelp you do that. so i can not be more optimisticabout that. i think computers and softwareand things that you all write and we all write are going tohelp us solve those problems for people rather than justdoing it at random. all right, next question.

audience: hi, larry. i'm asman from gbg[inaudible]. it's great that google hasdeveloped a lot of new technologies and allowsus to live in a better way that we are today. my question is notabout technology. it's just a basic question forthe developers and the countries that i came fromin the far east. we developers have beendeveloping, trying to develop

but one of the main issue for usin many of the gdgs is that we can't sell. that's one part. the other thing is that i havebeen asked many times why can't we buy paid apps? that's my simple questions. it's a great opportunity tovoice this one out to you. and i hope things can be donebecause i don't see any reason why because peoplewant to buy.

and they can use theircredit cards. larry page: yeah, i mean,that scenario we've had huge focus on. so i think we've madea lot of progress. i think we'll make alot more progress. but hopefully that's a verytemporary problem and we'll get through that quickly. but thanks for bringing it up. audience: hi, my name is kevinnielson from new jersey.

and i was intrigued about yourcomment about the positivity and the negativity. and i'm very interested inhelping other people be positive about technology,as you are. and i'm interested in what youradvice would be to help us sort of reduce the negativityand focus on positive and focus onchanging the world. larry page: yeah, that'sa really good question. i think people naturally areconcerned about change.

and certainly not allchange is good. and i do think the pace ofchange in the world is increasing. part of what i would thinkabout, i think, is i think that we haven't adaptedmechanisms to deal with that. and maybe some of our oldinstitutions, like the law and so on, aren't keeping up withthe rate of change that we've caused through technology. if you look at different kindsof laws we make or things like

that, they're very old. i mean, the laws when we wentpublic were 50 years old. the law can't be right if it's50 years old, like, it's before the internet. that's a pretty major changein how you might go public. so i think maybe some of youor maybe the million people watching who love technology,maybe more of us need to go into other areas and helpthose areas improve and understand technology.

and i think that's nothappened at the rate it needs to happen. yeah, thank you. and the other thing in my mindis we also haven't, maybe, built mechanisms to allowexperimentation. there's many, many exciting andimportant things you could do that you just can't dobecause they're illegal or they're not allowedby regulation. and that makes sense.

we don't want our worldto change too fast. but maybe we should set asidea small part of the world. you know, i like going toburning man, for example, which i'm sure many ofyou have been to. larry page: yeah, a fewburners out there. that's an environmentwhere people can try out different things. but not everybody has to go. and i think that's agreat thing too.

i think as technologists weshould have some safe places where we can try out some newthings and figure out what is the effect on society, what'sthe effect on people, without having to deploy it kind ofinto the normal world. and people who like those kindsof things can go there and experience that. and we don't have mechanismsfor that. so those are the kind of thingsi would think about. i also think we needto be honest.

and we don't always knowthe impact of changes. and we should be humbleabout that. i'm not sure getting up on stageand saying everything is amazing and so on isthe right thing. maybe we should launch thingsin a little more humble way and see what the effectis an adapt as we go. so those are kindof my thoughts. yeah, way on the side here. audience: larry, ben schacter,macquarie.

health care impacts the societyin so many profound ways and impacts the economy. what are the strengths of googlethat you can bring to help improve health care? larry page: yeah, that's agreat, maybe, segue from the previous question. i think it's been difficult. we had google health. we didn't make muchprogress on it.

and i think primarily we foundthat all the issues were regulatory. it's very hard to gettechnological leverage there. so i was talking about we're1% of where we can be. that's by doing real amazingtechnological things. we found, certainly, in thekinds of things we were working on in health care, weweren't able to move beyond that due to all the constraints that we were under.

and so i think we'll see amazingthings in health care. but i think they'll be thingsthat have technological leverage like dna sequencing. you know, we're clearly allgoing to have that. it's going to cost$1 or whatever. you're all going to have yoursequence and something amazing will happen. you know, i just disclosedyesterday my voice issues. i got so many greatemails from people

and thoughtful advice. and i realized, you know, i hadthe kind of notion, like, this stuff shouldbe very private. and at least in mycase, i feel i should've done it sooner. and i'm not sure thatthat answer is not true for most people. so i ask, like, why are peopleso focused on keeping your medical history private?

and the answer is probablyinsurance. you're very worriedthat you're going to be denied insurance. and that makes no sense. and we should change the rulesaround insurance so that they have to insure people. i mean, the whole pointof insurance is that it insures everyone. larry page: so, again, maybewe have a safe place where

people can go and live in aworld like that where they'd make those kind of changes. we can see if they work. and then the world can learnfrom that and move on. but not everybody has toparticipate in that because i'm worried we're not makingsome of the fundamental changes we need tomake fast enough. all right, maybe one ortwo more questions. we're going to runout of time.

yeah. audience: yeah, i'm johnsarriugarte with form & reform, one of the burning manartists you invited here tonight for the after party. larry page: oh, great, audience: i'm very inspired tosee that you've reached out to the educational aspect. i have a six-year-old. glad to see the google'smoving that direction.

my question is about women inthe development community. i'm looking around and idon't see a lot here. and i'd like to knowwhat we can do to encourage women to be here. audience: it's a simplequestion. larry page: yeah, i mean, we'vebeen super focused on that forever. sergey and i, when we wereinterviewing people, we spent a lot of time interviewing womenfor that reason, trying

to make sure our company didn'tend up all male, which i think is a really,really bad thing. so i think ultimately the onlyanswer is we have to start early and make sure we'regetting more young women and girls really excitedabout technology. and i think if we do that,there's no question we'll more than double the rate of progressthat we have in the technology world. so we all need to do that.

we're trying to help withthat in any way we can. and thank you forthe question. audience: thank you. all right, one more question. audience: jefrey siegal withthe university of michigan. while you had mentioned thatregulation is usually the biggest problem trying to gettechnology into health care, i'm curious if you're going tobe doing anything with dna sequencing considering youactually have all the

horsepower behind it, and alsoimage analysis, with things like surgical slides and whatnotbecause it seems like that's a really big area thatwe could get into to help people as a whole. larry page: yeah, i think thoseare good questions. i don't have anything toannounce at the time. but we always lookat these areas. we have felt it's a difficultarea for us to work in. i think it's certainlyworth doing though.

all right, let's take one more. audience: i'm josh constine,techcrunch. could you discuss google'splan for bringing the developing world online and whatyou see as the social, cultural, and political impactsof democratized access to the internet? larry page: that's a reallygreat question. one of the things i always talkabout in the company when i talk to the company is thatsmartphones are going to

basically be amazingin these places. and so you don't quite havesmartphones, for example, going into india orafrica because they're just too expensive. the average cost of a phone inindia is very, very cheap, $50 or $100 or less. i think more like $50. and i think that we need to makesure that the prices of what we all are using quicklymake it down to those levels.

and i think they will. that'll be the smartphone youhave today two or three years from now will be inafrica and india. and that will be amazing becausei find i try to mostly use smartphones nowjust to make sure i'm living that future. i find i can get almosteverything i need done. unfortunately i don't getto program that much. but i can do most things i needto do to run the company

on my phone. so i think that's pretty amazingto think that that can go to three billion, fourbillion, five billion, six billion, seven billion plus innot very long period of time. and i think people areunderestimating how fast that's going to happen. i think it's clearly going tohappen very, very quickly. and i'm really, reallyexcited about that. we're trying to help thathappen quicker.

but i'm very excitedabout that. so thank you all so much forspending so much time.
