Eric's Novell experience culminated a 20-year record of achievement as an Internet strategist, entrepreneur and developer of great technologies. His well-seasoned perspective perfectly complements Google's needs as a young and rapidly growing search engine with a unique corporate culture. ••• Prior to his appointment at Novell, Eric was chief technology officer and corporate executive officer at Sun Microsystems, Inc., where he led the development of Java, Sun's platform-independent programming technology, and defined Sun's Internet software strategy. • •  Before joining Sun in 1983, he was a member of the research staff at the Computer Science Lab at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), and held positions at Bell Laboratories and Zilog. • •  Eric has a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from Princeton University, and a master's and Ph.D. in computer science from the University of California-Berkeley. In 2006, Eric was elected to the National Academy of Engineering, which recognized his work on "the development of strategies for the world's most successful Internet search engine company." ••• Schmidt told the audience of party activists and members of Parliament that they had a duty to help create an environment where everyone can freely access data on the Internet. He also acknowledged that the rapid growth of the Web meant that some politicians had concerns. ••• "The Internet is democratizing knowledge," Schmidt said. "But it's also like a child, testing its powers for the first time. Governments are struggling to work out what to do about it, and they have concerns, such as over privacy." ••• Restrictions may be tempting, but they aren't likely to quell the tidal wave of online information, he said. ••• "My advice is, don't bet against it. Again and again, people forget that the Internet is pervasive and they try and hold back information when the Internet makes everything available," Schmidt warned. 02. TIMELINE / Dr. Eric E.
