Project
10 to the 100 presented by Google.com
Why this project?
Never in history have so many people had
so much information, so many tools at their
disposal, so many ways of making good ideas
come to life. Yet at the same time, so
many people, of all walks of life, could
use so much help, in both little ways
and big.
In the midst of this, new studies are
reinforcing the simple wisdom that beyond a
certain very basic level of material wealth,
the only thing that increases individual happiness
over time is helping other people.
In other words, helping helps everybody, helper
and helped alike.
The question is: what would help? And help
most?
At Google, we don't believe we have the
answers, but we do believe the answers are
out there. Maybe in a lab, or
a company, or a university -- but maybe
not.
Maybe the answer that helps somebody is in
your head, in something you've observed, some
notion that you've been fiddling with, some
small connection you've noticed, some old thing
you have seen with new eyes.
If you have an idea that you believe
would help somebody, we want to hear about
it. We're looking for ideas that help as
many people as possible, in any way, and
we're committing the funding to launch them.
You can submit your ideas and help vote
on ideas from others. Final idea selections
will be made by an advisory board.
How it works
Project 10100 (pronounced "Project 10 to the
100th") is a call for ideas to change
the world
