From the FT:

How the fact that the world’s average age was now 27 years old would affect the global economy?

“It seems to me there is a platform here [on stage] – a union of all the world’s information, interactive gaming, and location and mobility – that platform is the platform of the 22 year old today. The next generation of great companies will be built on the synthesis of that. If I were 22, I would be obsessed by the gaming which is part of this, the socialisation aspects, and the incredible knowledge I can get in many different areas. The sum of that – a new set of learning methods, a new set of social interactions – we can only imagine.” – Eric Schmidt, Google
