ئێستا خەڵک تەنیا خواردن ئامادە ناکات، بەڵکو لەگەڵیدا نامەش دەنێرێت و تەلەفونیش دەکات و تەماشای یوتیوب دەکات و وێنەی خواردنە ئامادەکراوەکەش بڵاو دەکاتەوە. پاوڵۆ کاردینی نەخشەساز کارایی فرەئەرکی دەخاتە ژێر پرسیارەوە و هانی تاک ئەرکی دەدات. کەڤەری مۆبایلە زیرەکەکانی کە خۆی دروستی کردووە رەنگە یارمەتیدەر بن.

I'm a designer and an educator.

2896
من نەخشەساز و پەروەردەکارم
00:19
I'm a multitasking person, and I push my students
1
3381
2896
من کەسێکی فرەئەرکم، و هانی خوێندکارەکانم دەدەم
00:22
to fly through a very creative, multitasking design process.
2
6277
6111
بە پرۆسەیەکی زۆر داهێنەرانە و فرەئەرکدا تێپەڕن
00:28
But how efficient is, really, this multitasking?
3
12388
4965
بەڵام بە راستی ئایا فرە ئەرکی چەند کارایی هەیە؟
00:33
Let's consider for a while the option of monotasking.
4
17353
5705
بە کەمێک بژاردەی تاک ئەرکی لەبەرچاو بگرین
00:38
A couple of examples.
5
23058
2915
ئەمە چەند نمونەیەکە
00:41
Look at that.
6
25973
1428
سەیری ئەمە بکە
00:43
This is my multitasking activity result. (Laughter)
7
27401
3613
ئەمە ئەنجامی چالاکییەکی فرە ئەرکیی منە -پێکەنین-
00:46
So trying to cook, answering the phone, writing SMS,
8
31014
3655
ئامادەکردنی خواردن، وەڵامدانەوەی تەلەفۆن، نوسینی نامە
00:50
and maybe uploading some pictures
9
34669
2352
و رەنگە بارکردنی چەند وێنەیەکیش
00:52
about this awesome barbecue.
10
37021
3518
سەبارەت بەم گۆشتبرژاندنە جوانە.
00:56
So someone tells us the story about supertaskers,
11
40539
4034
خەڵک باسی چیرۆکی کەسە فرەئەرکە مەزنەکانمان بۆ دەکات
01:00
so this two percent of people who are able
12
44573
3425
سەدی ٢ی خەڵک دەتوانن
01:03
to control multitasking environment.
13
47998
4136
ژینگەیەکی فرە ئەرک کۆنترۆڵ بکەن
01:08
But what about ourselves, and what about our reality?
14
52134
4604
بەڵام ئەی خۆمان چی، ئەی واقیعەکە چۆنە؟
01:12
When's the last time you really enjoyed
15
56738
2301
دواجار کەی بو کە بەڕاستی چێژت
01:14
just the voice of your friend?
16
59039
3270
تەنیا لە دەنگی هاوڕێکەت وەرگرت؟
01:18
So this is a project I'm working on,
17
62309
3256
ئەمە پرۆژەیەکە کە کاری لەسەر دەکەم
01:21
and this is a series of front covers
18
65565
5044
و زنجیرەیەک کەڤەرە بۆ پێشی مۆبایل
01:26
to downgrade our super, hyper —
19
70609
4507
بۆ نزمکردنەوەی فرەیی و باڵاییەکەی..
01:31
(Laughter) (Applause)
20
75116
4917
-پێکەنین - چەپڵە-
01:35
to downgrade our super, hyper-mobile phones
21
80033
2808
بۆ نزمکردنەوەی فرەیی و باڵایی مۆبایلەکانمان
01:38
into the essence of their function.
22
82841
3031
بۆ ئاستی ئەرکە گەوهەرییەکەی خۆی.
01:41
Another example: Have you ever been to Venice?
23
85872
2777
نمونەیەکی تر: ئایا تۆ هەرگیز چویت بۆ ڤینیسیا؟
01:44
How beautiful it is to lose ourselves in these little streets
24
88649
4313
چەند خۆشە خۆمان لەم شەقامە بچوکانەدا ون بکەین
01:48
on the island.
25
92962
2383
لەسەر ئەم دورگەیە
01:51
But our multitasking reality is pretty different,
26
95345
3442
بەڵام واقیعە فرە ئەرکەکەمان زۆر جیاوازە
01:54
and full of tons of information.
27
98787
4272
و پڕە لە بڕێکی زۆر زانیاری
01:58
So what about something like that
28
103059
2537
شتێکی لەم جۆرە چۆنە
02:01
to rediscover our sense of adventure?
29
105596
4167
بۆ دوبارە دۆزینەوەی هەستی سەرکێشی؟
02:05
I know that it could sound pretty weird to speak about mono
30
109763
3273
دەزانم کە رەنگە زۆر سەیر بێ باس لە یەک ئەرکی بکەین
02:08
when the number of possibilities is so huge,
31
113036
4551
کاتێ کە ژمارەیەکی زەبەلاحی ئەگەر لە ئارادا بێت
02:13
but I push you to consider the option of
32
117587
4599
بەڵام من هانتان دەدەم ئەو بژاردەیە لەبەرچاو بگرن
02:18
focusing on just one task,
33
122186
3117
کە فۆکەس بکەنە سەر تەنیا یەک ئەرک
02:21
or maybe turning your digital senses totally off.
34
125303
5957
یاخود هەستە دیجیتاڵییەکانتان بەتەواوی بکوژێننەوە
02:27
So nowadays, everyone could produce his mono product.
35
131260
6016
لەم سەردەمەدا هەمو کەسێک دەتوانێت بەرهەمە تاکەکەی بەرهەم بهێنێت
02:33
Why not? So find your monotask spot
36
137276
3744
بۆ نا؟ کەواتە شوێنی تاک ئەرکییەکەت بدۆزەرەوە
02:36
within the multitasking world.
37
141020
2584
لە جیهانە فرە ئەرکەکەدا.
02:39
Thank you.
38
143604
1533
سوپاس.
