Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt presented a hard-hitting MacTaggart address to TV broadcasters in Edinburgh. The first non-broadcaster to deliver the MacTaggart lecture in 35 years. The digital leader touched upon many topics, ranging from the British education system, media regulation and national ambition, to TV and internet convergence, tech innovation and CRR.

Highlight from the annual MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival

  • Does he have notes are anything?? If not, this guy is amazing!

  • @Pickledeggs3000 NEIN...it starts at 8:30.

  • Great! Thank you Mr. Schmidt for the Freudian slip near after "55:45":

    'Your independent producers are famed for their entrepreneural zeros ...' (55:58)

    Yes, indeed they are! So much crap you can find on TV today. :D

  • why?I couldn't see anything.//unlucky

  • If anyone is interested to learn more about Lyons involvement in creating the World's first office computer I urge you to check out LEO: The First Business Computer

  • lol did he start repeating himself at 1:15:00 ? (1hour 15mins)

  • @lakeuk1 Kids can already learn programming on cheap Android tablets using apps such as "Zed Ex" (Sinclair ZX81 emulator) and "BASIC! + SQL". Of course I would not mind if they could get tablets for free and there would be better apps for teaching programming.

  • and we can't yet like the video because according to YouTube the event hasn't taken place yet, Hope they fix it fast.!

  • seems strange that the video hasn't been edited, so you have to scroll though 35 minutes of black screens and music before the man speaks.
