Google’s boss: “Internet will affect elections”
The internet has largely filled a role of funding for politicians, but it has not yet affected elections. It clearly will”, Eric Schmitt CEO of Internet powerhouse Google predicts.
As part of an interview with the Financial Times, following his speech at the Conservative conference in the UK these are some of the statements he left:
“Many of the politicians don’t actually understand the phenomenon of the internet very well”.
“Politicians have yet to wake up to the impact of the -internet, which will expose them to online “truth predictor” tests and affect the outcome of general elections”.
