He explained that people have a desire to feel needed, wanted and productive, often leading them to work in industries the world doesn't necessary need, thus contributing to the destruction of the environment.
\"I was talking to Richard Branson about this,\" Page said of the founder of the Virgin Group. \"They don't have enough jobs in the U.K. He's been trying to get people to hire two part-time people instead of one full-time, so at least the young people can have a half-time job rather than no job.\"
With a more productive society, Page said he believed people would be happy to \"have more time with their family or to pursue their own interests.\"
Brin said he had to \"quibble a little bit\" with his colleague's vision for future employment.
\"I don't think that in the near term, the need for labor is going away,\" Brin said. \"It gets shifted from one place to another, but people always want more stuff or more entertainment or more creativity or more something.\"
At a later moment in the interview, a member of the audience asked if the two men had ever had a fundamental disagreement. They both said no.
\"We've gotten to think a lot alike,\" Brin said.
