Google founder Larry Page: “Invention is not enough”

What's interesting about you too, though, for me is that we have lots of people who are thinking about the future, but we never see the implementation. You know, I think of somebody you knew and read about Tesla. The principle of that for you is what?

Well, I think invention is not enough. I mean, if you invent something. Tesla invented electric power that we use, but he struggled to get it out to people. That had to be done by other people. It took a long time.

Which is a second thing about corporations. You were one of those people who believe that corporations are an agent of change if they're run well.

Yeah, I mean, I'm really dismayed. Most people think companies are basically evil. They get a bad rap. And I think that's somewhat correct. I mean, companies are doing the same incremental thing that they did 50 years ago or 20 years ago. That's not really what we need. We need revolutionary change, not incremental change.
