During today’s Google Q1 2013 earnings call, CEO Larry Page gave us a rundown on exactly what the company has been up to in this quarter, as well as some insight on how he’s currently running the company. Page took over from Eric Schmidt in early 2011, and since then has started bringing all of the company’s services together, under the umbrella of helping people get access to information quickly. Page discussed Google’s “big bets,” which are Chrome, YouTube and Android as the mature products that are important to continue innovating with. However, Page made it clear that as CEO of the company, it’s his job to focus on the future. He said: “Companies tend to get comfortable doing what they’ve always done, with only a few minor tweaks. It’s only natural to work on the things you know. Minor changes make things obsolete.” Things that aren’t incremental changes, and future big bets are Google Fiber, which Page says came about after co-founder Sergey Bring wanted to show how high-speed Internet access could help change people’s lives. Additionally, Page mentioned the fact that Google is now handing out the first pairs of Google Glass to developers, and said: “I get chills when I use technology of the future, and that happens with Glass.” This is developing.
