ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Yves Behar - Designer
Yves Behar has produced some of the new millennium's most coveted objects, like the Leaf lamp, the Jawbone headset, and the XO laptop for One Laptop per Child.

Why you should listen

Over the past decade, Yves Behar and his firm fuseproject have become the design group that companies turn to for a game-changing idea. Take the re-invention of the Bluetooth headset, for one; or the re-envigoration of the venerable but dowdy Birkenstock line; or Behar's LED-chic Leaf lamp for Herman Miller.

And yes, Behar and fuseproject are the people who put the green bunny ears on the XO laptop -- and are redesigning the next-gen XOXO laptop due in 2010. This quirky but deeply felt project encapsulates much of his recent work, fusing gotta-have-it design with a mission of social responsibility.

Being存在 a child兒童, and sort分類 of crawling爬行 around the house,

2000
還是小孩時,在家裡爬來爬去,
00:14
I remember記得 these Turkish土耳其 carpets地毯,
1
2000
2000
我記得這些土耳其地毯,
00:16
and there were these scenes場景, these battle戰鬥 scenes場景, these love scenes場景.
2
4000
5000
還有這些景象:打鬥的景象、恩愛的景象。
00:21
I mean, look, this animal動物 is trying to fight鬥爭 back this spear
3
9000
5000
你看,這隻動物試圖對抗
00:26
from this soldier士兵.
4
14000
1000
士兵刺下的矛。
00:27
And my mom媽媽 took these pictures圖片 actually其實, last week,
5
15000
3000
我媽上星期拍這些照片,
00:30
of our carpets地毯, and I remember記得 this to this day.
6
18000
3000
這些地毯,到現在我都還記得。
00:33
There was another另一個 object目的, this sort分類 of towering參天 piece of furniture家具
7
21000
4000
還有另一個物品,這個高聳的家具,
00:37
with creatures生物 and gargoyles怪物 and nudity裸露 --
8
25000
2000
有動物、怪獸和裸女 –
00:39
pretty漂亮 scary害怕 stuff東東, when you're a little kid孩子.
9
27000
3000
對小孩而言蠻可怕的。
00:42
What I remember記得 today今天 from this is that objects對象 tell stories故事,
10
30000
4000
今天我記得的是,這些物品都會說故事,
00:46
so storytelling評書 has been a really strong強大 influence影響 in my work.
11
34000
8000
因此說故事對我的工作有很強的影響。
00:54
And then there was another另一個 influence影響.
12
42000
1000
另外還有一個影響。
00:55
I was a teenager青少年, and at 15 or 16, I guess猜測 like all teenagers青少年,
13
43000
3000
我還是個青少年,15、16歲,像其他青少年一樣,
00:58
we want to just do what we love and what we believe in.
14
46000
3000
我們想做自己喜愛、自己信仰的事。
01:01
And so,
15
49000
3000
因此,
01:04
I fused融合 together一起 the two things I loved喜愛 the most,
16
52000
2000
我融合了我最喜歡的兩件事:
01:06
which哪一個 was skiing滑雪 and windsurfing帆板.
17
54000
3000
滑雪和風帆。
01:09
Those are pretty漂亮 good escapes逃逸 from the drab單調 weather天氣 in Switzerland瑞士.
18
57000
5000
那是避開瑞士枯燥氣候的好方法。
01:14
So, I created創建 this compilation彙編 of the two:
19
62000
3000
因此,我創作了這兩件事的組合:
01:17
I took my skis滑雪板 and I took a board and I put a mast桅杆 foot腳丫子 in there,
20
65000
4000
我拿了我的雪橇及滑溜板,安上一個桅杆座,
01:21
and some foot腳丫子 straps, and some metal金屬 fins鰭片,
21
69000
3000
幾條綁腳帶及一些金屬鰭片,
01:25
and here I was, going really fast快速 on frozen凍結的 lakes湖泊.
22
73000
3000
就這樣,在結冰的湖面高速滑行。
01:28
It was really a death死亡 trap陷阱. I mean, it was incredible難以置信,
23
76000
3000
那真是個死亡陷阱。很難相信,
01:31
it worked工作 incredibly令人難以置信 well, but it was really dangerous危險.
24
79000
3000
它可以用,但卻非常危險。
01:34
And I realized實現 then I had to go to design設計 school學校.
25
82000
4000
因此,我知道我該去讀設計學校。
01:38
(Laughter笑聲)
26
86000
1000
(笑聲)
01:39
I mean, look at those graphics圖像 there.
27
87000
2000
我是說,看看那些圖像。
01:41
(Laughter笑聲)
28
89000
3000
(笑聲)
01:44
So, I went to design設計 school學校,
29
92000
4000
因此我去讀了設計學校,
01:48
and it was the early '90s when I finished.
30
96000
5000
那是 ’90年代早期,當我畢業時,
01:53
And I saw something extraordinary非凡 happening事件 in Silicon Valley,
31
101000
4000
我發現矽谷發生著奇特的事,
01:57
so I wanted to be there,
32
105000
1000
我想要去那裡,
01:58
and I saw that the computer電腦 was coming未來 into our homes家園,
33
106000
4000
我發現電腦正在走入家庭。
02:02
that it had to change更改 in order訂購 to be with us in our homes家園.
34
110000
4000
電腦要改變才能和我們在家裡相處。
02:06
And so I got myself a job工作 and I was working加工 for a consultancy顧問,
35
114000
3000
我找到一份工作,在設計顧問公司上班,
02:10
and we would get in to these meetings會議,
36
118000
1000
我們會去參加會議,
02:11
and these managers經理 would come in,
37
119000
2000
經理們進來,
02:14
and they would say,
38
122000
2000
他們會說:
02:16
"Well, what we're going to do here is really important重要, you know."
39
124000
2000
「我們要做的事真的很重要。」
02:19
And they would give the projects項目 code names, you know,
40
127000
3000
他們將為專案取個代碼,
02:22
mostly大多 from "Star Wars戰爭," actually其實: things like C3POPO, Yoda尤達, Luke盧克.
41
130000
7000
大都取自星際大戰,如:C3PO、尤達、路克。
02:30
So, in anticipation預期, I would be this young年輕 designer設計師
42
138000
3000
充滿期待,我這個年輕設計師
02:33
in the back of the room房間, and I would raise提高 my hand,
43
141000
2000
坐在會議室後方,我會舉手
02:35
and I would ask questions問題.
44
143000
2000
問問題。
02:37
I mean, in retrospect回想起來, probably大概 stupid questions問題,
45
145000
2000
回想當初,或許是些笨問題,
02:40
but things like, "What's this Caps帽子 Lock key for?"
46
148000
4000
像:「Cap Lock 鍵做什麼用?」
02:44
or "What's this Num Lock key for?" You know, that thing?
47
152000
4000
或「Num Lock 鍵做什麼用?」- 就是這個。
02:49
"You know, do people really use it?
48
157000
1000
人們真的使用它嗎?
02:50
Do they need it? Do they want it in their homes家園?"
49
158000
3000
他們需要它嗎?在家裡要它嗎?
02:53
(Laughter笑聲)
50
161000
3000
(笑聲)
02:56
What I realized實現 then is, they didn't really want to change更改
51
164000
5000
那時我覺得,他們不想改變
03:01
the legacy遺產 stuff東東; they didn't want to change更改 the insides內部.
52
169000
3000
傳統的東西;他們不想改變內部。
03:04
They were really looking for us, the designers設計師, to create創建 the skins,
53
172000
5000
他們要設計師去創造表皮,
03:14
to put some pretty漂亮 stuff東東 outside of the box.
54
182000
3000
放些好看的東西在盒子外。
03:18
And I didn't want to be a colorist調色.
55
186000
2000
我不想當彩妝師。
03:20
It wasn't what I wanted to do.
56
188000
2000
那不是我想做的。
03:22
I didn't want to be a stylist美髮師 in this way.
57
190000
2000
我不想做這樣的美容師。
03:24
And then I saw this quote引用:
58
192000
2000
接著我讀到這句名言:
03:26
"advertising廣告 is the price價錢 companies公司 pay工資 for being存在 unoriginal非獨創的."
59
194000
5000
「廣告是公司為沒有原創性而付出的代價。」
03:31
(Laughter笑聲)
60
199000
2000
(笑聲)
03:34
So, I had to start開始 on my own擁有. So I moved移動 to San Francisco弗朗西斯科,
61
202000
3000
因此,我必須自己來。我搬到舊金山,
03:37
and I started開始 a little company公司, fuseprojectfuseproject.
62
205000
3000
開了家小公司:Fuseproject。
03:41
And what I wanted to work on is important重要 stuff東東.
63
209000
2000
我想做的是重要的事。
03:43
And I wanted to really not just work on the skins,
64
211000
4000
我不要只是做表皮,
03:48
but I wanted to work on the entire整個 human人的 experience經驗.
65
216000
3000
我要做完整的人類體驗。
03:51
And so the first projects項目 were sort分類 of humble謙卑,
66
219000
4000
早期的專案都很卑微,
03:55
but they took technology技術 and maybe made製作 it into things
67
223000
5000
它們採用科技,放到產品裡,
04:00
that people would use in a new way,
68
228000
3000
讓人得以新方式去使用,
04:03
and maybe finding發現 some new functionality功能.
69
231000
1000
或找到新功能性。
04:04
This is a watch we made製作 for Mini微型 Cooper庫珀, the car汽車 company公司,
70
232000
4000
這個錶是我們為 Mini Cooper 汽車公司
04:08
right when it launched推出,
71
236000
1000
開張時做的,
04:09
and it's the first watch that has a display顯示
72
237000
3000
它的顯示是第一個可以
04:12
that switches開關 from horizontal to vertical垂直.
73
240000
2000
水平、垂直調換。
04:14
And that allows允許 me to check my timer計時器 discretely離散, here,
74
242000
5000
它讓我能準確讀取時間,
04:19
without bending彎曲 my elbow彎頭.
75
247000
1000
不必彎曲手臂。
04:20
And other projects項目, which哪一個 were really about transformation轉型,
76
248000
3000
其他的專案則是做轉換,
04:24
about matching匹配 the human人的 need.
77
252000
3000
去滿足人類的需求。
04:27
This is a little piece of furniture家具 for an Italian意大利 manufacturer生產廠家,
78
255000
3000
這是為義大利公司做的小家具,
04:30
and it ships船舶 completely全然 flat平面,
79
258000
2000
裝運時是平的,
04:32
and then it folds褶皺 into a coffee咖啡 table and a stool糞便 and whatnot諸如此類.
80
260000
4000
然後可折成咖啡桌、凳子、或什麼的。
04:37
And something a little bit more experimental試驗:
81
265000
1000
還有一些實驗性的:
04:38
this is a light fixture夾具 for Swarovski施華洛世奇,
82
266000
3000
這是施華洛燈具,
04:42
and what it does is, it changes變化 shape形狀.
83
270000
2000
它會改變形狀:
04:44
So, it goes from a circle, to a round回合, to a square廣場, to a figure數字 eight.
84
272000
4000
圓形、環形、方形、8 字形,
04:48
And just by drawing畫畫 on a little computer電腦 tablet片劑,
85
276000
3000
在小型電腦數位板上畫一下,
04:51
the entire整個 light fixture夾具 adjusts調整 to what shape形狀 you want.
86
279000
4000
燈具就調整為你要的形狀。
04:56
And then finally最後, the leaf lamp for Herman赫爾曼 Miller磨坊主.
87
284000
2000
最後,Herman Miller 的葉子燈。
04:58
This is a pretty漂亮 involved參與 process處理;
88
286000
2000
這是個介入很深的過程,
05:00
it took us about four and a half years年份.
89
288000
2000
它花了我們大約四年半。
05:02
But I really was looking for creating創建 a unique獨特 experience經驗 of light,
90
290000
4000
我一心追求創造獨特的照明體驗,
05:07
a new experience經驗 of light.
91
295000
1000
新的照明體驗。
05:08
So, we had to design設計 both the light and the light bulb燈泡.
92
296000
5000
因此我們要同時設計燈和燈泡。
05:13
And that's a unique獨特 opportunity機會, I would say, in design設計.
93
301000
4000
我認為,這是很特別的設計機會。
05:17
And the new experience經驗 I was looking for
94
305000
2000
我追求的新體驗
05:19
is giving the choice選擇 for the user用戶 to go from
95
307000
3000
是讓使用者選擇從
05:22
a warm, sort分類 of glowing泛著 kind of mood心情 light,
96
310000
3000
一種溫暖的,有點微弱的心情燈光,
05:25
all the way to a bright work light.
97
313000
3000
一路到光亮的工作燈。
05:28
So, the light bulb燈泡 actually其實 does that.
98
316000
2000
燈泡真的可以那樣。
05:31
It allows允許 the person to switch開關,
99
319000
2000
使用者可以調整、
05:33
and to mix混合 these two colorations著色.
100
321000
2000
混合這兩種色調。
05:35
And it's doneDONE in a very simple簡單 way:
101
323000
3000
原理很簡單:
05:38
one just touches觸摸 the base基礎 of the light,
102
326000
2000
只要碰觸燈座,
05:41
and on one side, you can mix混合 the brightness亮度,
103
329000
2000
一邊可以混合亮度,
05:43
and on the other, the coloration著色 of the light.
104
331000
3000
另一邊則是光的色調。
05:46
So, all of these projects項目 have a humanistic人文 sense to them,
105
334000
5000
因此這些專案都有人道意義,
05:51
and I think as designers設計師 we need to really think
106
339000
2000
我認為身為設計師,我們該思考
05:53
about how we can create創建 a different不同 relationship關係
107
341000
4000
如何創造我們的作品
05:57
between之間 our work and the world世界,
108
345000
2000
和世界的新關係,
06:00
whether是否 it's for business商業,
109
348000
1000
不論是商業專案,
06:01
or, as I'm going to show顯示, on some civic-type公民型 projects項目.
110
349000
5000
或如我將要提的公益專案。
06:06
Because I think everybody每個人 agrees同意 that as designers設計師 we bring帶來
111
354000
5000
因為大家都同意,身為設計師我們帶來價值:
06:11
value to business商業, value to the users用戶 also,
112
359000
5000
商業價值、使用者價值,
06:16
but I think it's the values that we put into these projects項目
113
364000
4000
但我認為,是我們放進專案的價值
06:20
that ultimately最終 create創建 the greater更大 value.
114
368000
3000
最後創造出更大的價值。
06:24
And the values we bring帶來
115
372000
1000
我們帶來的價值
06:25
can be about environmental環境的 issues問題,
116
373000
4000
可能是關於環境議題、
06:29
about sustainability可持續性, about lower降低 power功率 consumption消費.
117
377000
3000
永續性、低耗能。
06:32
You know, they can be about function功能 and beauty美女;
118
380000
4000
它們可能是功能或美觀;
06:36
they can be about business商業 strategy戰略.
119
384000
1000
可能是商業策略。
06:37
But designers設計師 are really the glue
120
385000
2000
但設計師卻是黏膠
06:40
that brings帶來 these things together一起.
121
388000
2000
把這些組合在一起。
06:42
So Jawbone顎骨 is a project項目 that you're familiar with,
122
390000
5000
Jawbone 是你們知道的專案,
06:48
and it has a humanistic人文 technology技術.
123
396000
3000
它使用人性化的科技。
06:51
It feels感覺 your skin皮膚. It rests休息 on your skin皮膚,
124
399000
3000
它能感覺你的皮膚,
06:54
and it knows知道 when it is you're talking.
125
402000
1000
它知道你何時說話。
06:55
And by knowing會心 when it is you're talking,
126
403000
2000
因為知道你說話,
06:58
it gets得到 rid擺脫 of the other noises噪音 that it knows知道 about,
127
406000
2000
它可以消除其他噪音,
07:00
which哪一個 is the environmental環境的 noises噪音.
128
408000
3000
也就是環境噪音。
07:03
But the other thing that is humanistic人文 about Jawbone顎骨
129
411000
2000
Jawbone 的其他人性面是,
07:05
is that we really decided決定 to take out all the techie技術人員 stuff東東,
130
413000
5000
我們決定要除去太科技的東西、
07:11
and all the nerdy書呆子 stuff東東 out of it,
131
419000
2000
及難懂的東西,
07:13
and try to make it as beautiful美麗 as we can.
132
421000
2000
並使它盡可能美觀。
07:15
I mean, think about it:
133
423000
1000
就是說,你想:
07:16
the care關心 we take in selecting選擇 sunglasses墨鏡, or jewelry首飾,
134
424000
5000
我們用心選擇太陽眼鏡、珠寶、
07:23
or accessories飾品 is really important重要,
135
431000
4000
或飾品等是很重要的,
07:27
so if it isn't beautiful美麗, it really doesn't belong屬於 on your face面對.
136
435000
3000
如果它不好看,就不該掛在臉上。
07:31
And this is what we're pursuing追求 here.
137
439000
3000
這就是我們追求的。
07:34
But how we work on Jawbone顎骨 is really unique獨特.
138
442000
3000
但我們如何創造 Jawbone,真的很特別。
07:38
I want to point at something here, on the left.
139
446000
2000
我要用左邊的畫面來說明。
07:40
This is the board, this is one of the things that goes inside
140
448000
4000
這是電路板,是放在內部
07:44
that makes品牌 this technology技術 work.
141
452000
2000
使科技運作的東西。
07:46
But this is the design設計 process處理:
142
454000
2000
設計過程是這樣的:
07:48
there's somebody changing改變 the board,
143
456000
1000
有人改變電路板、
07:49
putting tracers示踪劑 on the board, changing改變 the location位置 of the ICs集成電路,
144
457000
4000
在電路板放描跡器、改變IC的位置,
07:53
as the designers設計師 on the other side are doing the work.
145
461000
3000
而設計師在另一邊工作。
07:56
So, it's not about slapping打耳光 skins, anymore, on a technology技術.
146
464000
4000
所以它不再是為科技做表皮。
08:00
It's really about designing設計 from the inside out.
147
468000
2000
而真的是由內而外的設計。
08:02
And then, on the other side of the room房間,
148
470000
2000
而房間的另一邊
08:05
the designers設計師 are making製造 small adjustments調整,
149
473000
1000
設計師們忙著做修正、
08:06
sketching素描, drawing畫畫 by hand, putting it in the computer電腦.
150
474000
5000
畫草圖、徒手畫、電腦建檔等,
08:11
And it's what I call being存在 design設計 driven驅動.
151
479000
4000
這就是我說的「設計驅導」。
08:15
You know, there is some push and pull,
152
483000
1000
你知道的,有些推力和拉力,
08:17
but design設計 is really helping幫助 define確定
153
485000
2000
但設計真的由內往外
08:19
the whole整個 experience經驗 from the inside out.
154
487000
3000
幫助定義整個體驗。
08:23
And then, of course課程, design設計 is never doneDONE.
155
491000
2000
當然設計永遠做不完。
08:25
And this is -- the other new way that is unique獨特
156
493000
4000
這也是我們工作的獨特之處,
08:29
in how we work is, because it's never doneDONE,
157
497000
2000
因為它永遠做不完,
08:31
you have to do all this other stuff東東.
158
499000
2000
你必得做其他的東西。
08:33
The packaging打包, and the website網站, and you need to continue繼續
159
501000
3000
包裝、網站,你必需繼續
08:36
to really touch觸摸 the user用戶, in many許多 ways方法.
160
504000
3000
以各種方式接觸使用者。
08:40
But how do you retain保留 somebody, when it's never doneDONE?
161
508000
4000
但你如何留住人,如果它永遠做不完呢?
08:44
And HosainHosain Rahman拉赫曼, the CEOCEO of AliphAliph公司 Jawbone顎骨,
162
512000
6000
Hosain Rahman – Jawbone 執行長
08:51
you know, really understands理解 that you need a different不同 structure結構體.
163
519000
3000
很清楚需要有不同的結構。
08:54
So, in a way, the different不同 structure結構體 is that we're partners夥伴,
164
522000
3000
所謂不同結構是指我們是伙伴,
08:58
it's a partnership合夥. We can continue繼續 to work
165
526000
5000
有伙伴關係。我們可以繼續工作,
09:03
and dedicate奉獻 ourselves我們自己 to this project項目,
166
531000
2000
致力於這個專案,
09:06
and then we also share分享 in the rewards獎勵.
167
534000
2000
我們都分享成果。
09:08
And here's這裡的 another另一個 project項目, another另一個 partnership-type合夥型 approach途徑.
168
536000
5000
這是另一個專案,另一個伙伴型的方法。
09:13
This is called Y Water,
169
541000
2000
這個叫Y水,
09:15
and it's this guy from Los洛杉磯 Angeles洛杉磯, Thomas托馬斯 Arndt阿恩特,
170
543000
3000
是由來自洛杉磯的傢伙,叫 Thomas Arndt,
09:19
Austrian originally本來, who came來了 to us,
171
547000
2000
出生於澳洲,他來找我們,
09:21
and all he wanted to do was to create創建 a healthy健康 drink,
172
549000
4000
想要為小孩們創造健康飲水,
09:25
or an organic有機 drink for his kids孩子,
173
553000
3000
或叫有機飲水,
09:28
to replace更換 the high-sugar-content高糖含量 sodas汽水
174
556000
3000
以替代高糖含量的汽水,
09:32
that he's trying to get them away from.
175
560000
2000
他要小孩別喝汽水。
09:34
So, we worked工作 on this bottle瓶子,
176
562000
2000
因此,我們創造了這個瓶子,
09:37
and it's completely全然 symmetrical對稱 in every一切 dimension尺寸.
177
565000
2000
它在各個面向都是對稱的。
09:39
And this allows允許 the bottle瓶子 to turn into a game遊戲.
178
567000
6000
這使瓶子可以變成遊戲。
09:46
The bottles瓶子 connect together一起,
179
574000
1000
瓶子可互相結合,
09:47
and you can create創建 different不同 shapes形狀, different不同 forms形式.
180
575000
4000
可創造不同形狀、不同形態。
09:51
(Laughter笑聲)
181
579000
1000
(笑聲)
09:52
(Applause掌聲)
182
580000
2000
(掌聲)
09:54
Thank you.
183
582000
1000
謝謝。
09:55
(Applause掌聲)
184
583000
1000
(掌聲)
09:57
And then while we were doing this,
185
585000
1000
當我們正在做這個時,
09:58
the shape形狀 of the bottle瓶子 upside上邊 down reminded提醒 us of a Y,
186
586000
4000
瓶子顛倒的形狀讓我們想到Y,
10:02
and then we thought, well these words, "why" and "why not,"
187
590000
5000
於是我們想到 why、why not
10:07
are probably大概 the most important重要 words that kids孩子 ask.
188
595000
2000
可能是孩子們最重要的疑問詞。
10:10
So we called it Y Water. And so this is
189
598000
3000
於是我們把它命名為「Y水」。這又是
10:13
another另一個 place地點 where it all comes together一起 in the same相同 room房間:
190
601000
3000
另個出自同一房間的例子:
10:16
the three-dimensional三維 design設計, the ideas思路, the branding品牌,
191
604000
6000
立體設計、構想、品牌,
10:22
it all becomes deeply connected連接的.
192
610000
2000
都有很深的結合。
10:25
And then the other thing about this project項目 is,
193
613000
2000
這個專案的另一件事是,
10:27
we bring帶來 intellectual知識分子 property屬性,
194
615000
4000
我們帶來智財權,
10:31
we bring帶來 a marketing營銷 approach途徑,
195
619000
2000
我們帶來行銷手法,
10:33
we bring帶來 all this stuff東東, but I think, at the end結束 of the day,
196
621000
2000
我們帶來這些,到當天結束時,
10:35
what we bring帶來 is these values,
197
623000
2000
我們帶來這些價值,
10:37
and these values create創建 a soul靈魂 for the companies公司 we work with.
198
625000
3000
這些價值替公司創造一個靈魂。
10:41
And it's especially特別 rewarding獎勵 when your design設計 work
199
629000
1000
那個報償是特別高的,如果你的設計工作
10:42
becomes a creative創作的 endeavor努力,
200
630000
2000
是個有創意的付出,
10:45
when others其他 can be creative創作的 and do more with it.
201
633000
2000
使其他人能有創意並做得更好。
10:47
Here's這裡的 another另一個 project項目,
202
635000
1000
這是另一個專案,
10:48
which哪一個 I think really emulates模擬 that.
203
636000
3000
它發揮了那個理念。
10:51
This is the One Laptop筆記本電腦 per Child兒童, the $100 laptop筆記本電腦.
204
639000
5000
這是「每個學童有電腦」,或叫 「百元電腦」專案。
10:58
This picture圖片 is incredible難以置信.
205
646000
1000
這張照片令人驚奇。
10:59
In Nigeria尼日利亞, people carry攜帶 their most precious珍貴 belongings財物 on their heads.
206
647000
5000
奈及利亞人把最貴重的東西帶在頭上。
11:05
This girl女孩 is going to school學校 with a laptop筆記本電腦 on her head.
207
653000
2000
這個女孩頂著電腦去上學。
11:07
I mean, to me, it just means手段 so much.
208
655000
2000
對我,那真是意義不凡。
11:11
But when Nicholas尼古拉斯 Negroponte內格羅蓬特 --
209
659000
2000
當 Nicholas Negroponte –
11:13
and he has spoken about this project項目 a lot,
210
661000
2000
他談過很多這個專案的事,
11:15
he's the founder創辦人 of OLPCOLPC -- came來了 to us
211
663000
5000
他是 OLPC 的創始人 – 來找我們
11:20
about two and a half years年份 ago,
212
668000
3000
大約兩年半前,
11:24
there were some clear明確 ideas思路.
213
672000
2000
他有很清晰的想法。
11:26
He wanted to bring帶來 education教育 and he wanted to bring帶來 technology技術,
214
674000
3000
他要推動教育,他要推動科技,
11:30
and those are pillars支柱 of his life,
215
678000
1000
這是他生命的支柱,
11:31
but also pillars支柱 of the mission任務 of One Laptop筆記本電腦 per Child兒童.
216
679000
4000
也是「每個學童有電腦」使命的支柱。
11:37
But the third第三 pillar支柱 that he talked about was design設計.
217
685000
4000
但他談的第三支柱是設計。
11:41
And at the time, I wasn't really working加工 on computers電腦.
218
689000
4000
那時我並不設計電腦。
11:45
I didn't really want to, from the previous以前 adventure冒險.
219
693000
2000
我不很想做,因為有之前的經歷。
11:47
But what he said was really significant重大,
220
695000
2000
但他說得很有意思,
11:50
is that design設計 was going to be why the kids孩子
221
698000
2000
設計可以使這些學童
11:52
were going to love this product產品,
222
700000
2000
喜歡這個電腦。
11:54
how we were going to make it low cost成本, robust強大的.
223
702000
2000
如何使它便宜、強固,
11:56
And plus, he said he was going to get rid擺脫 of the Caps帽子 Lock key --
224
704000
6000
此外他說,他要除去 Cap Lock 鍵 –
12:03
(Laughter笑聲) --
225
711000
2000
(笑聲)
12:05
and the Num Lock key, too.
226
713000
1000
– 還有 Num Lock 鍵。
12:07
So, I was convinced相信. We designed設計 it to be iconic標誌性的,
227
715000
4000
我被說服了。我們把它設計得佷獨特,
12:11
to look different不同. To look like it's for a kid孩子, but not like a toy玩具.
228
719000
5000
看起來不同,就像學童用的,但不像玩具。
12:17
And then the integration積分 of
229
725000
2000
還有那些重要科技的整合,
12:19
all these great technologies技術, which哪一個 you've heard聽說 about,
230
727000
3000
你聽過的,如:
12:22
the Wi-Fi無線上網 antennas天線 that allow允許 the kids孩子 to connect;
231
730000
3000
WiFi 天線讓學童們上網;
12:25
the screen屏幕, which哪一個 you can read in sunlight陽光;
232
733000
3000
陽光下也能讀的屏幕;
12:29
the keyboard鍵盤, which哪一個 is made製作 out of rubber橡膠,
233
737000
2000
橡膠做的鍵盤,
12:31
and it's protected保護 from the environment環境.
234
739000
2000
它不受環境影響。
12:33
You know, all these great technologies技術 really happened發生
235
741000
3000
這些重要科技之能加進去,
12:36
because of the passion and
236
744000
4000
全是靠一股熱情、
12:40
the OLPCOLPC people and the engineers工程師.
237
748000
3000
OLPC 推動者、及工程師們。
12:43
They fought戰鬥 the suppliers供應商,
238
751000
2000
他們向供應商爭取,
12:45
they fought戰鬥 the manufacturers製造商.
239
753000
4000
向製造商爭取。
12:49
I mean, they fought戰鬥 like animals動物
240
757000
3000
他們就像動物一樣,
12:53
for this to remain they way it is.
241
761000
2000
為了留住這些而爭取。
12:55
And in a way, it is that will that makes品牌 projects項目 like this one --
242
763000
5000
因為這樣,而能達成這個專案,
13:02
allows允許 the process處理
243
770000
1000
容許整個過程
13:03
from not destroying銷毀 the original原版的 idea理念.
244
771000
2000
不致扼殺原本的想法。
13:06
And I think this is something really important重要.
245
774000
2000
我認為這是很重要的事。
13:08
So, now you get these pictures圖片 --
246
776000
3000
所以,看看這些照片 –
13:11
you get up in the morning早上, and you see the kids孩子 in Nigeria尼日利亞
247
779000
3000
早晨起來,你看到奈及利亞的學童、
13:14
and you see them in Uruguay烏拉圭
248
782000
1000
烏拉圭的學童
13:16
with their computers電腦, and in Mongolia蒙古.
249
784000
4000
有電腦了,還有蒙古的學童。
13:20
And we went away from obviously明顯 the beige米色.
250
788000
3000
我們不再用米黃色 –
13:23
I mean it's colorful華美, it's fun開玩笑.
251
791000
1000
而用活潑的色彩;有趣。
13:24
In fact事實, you can see each logo商標 is a little bit different不同.
252
792000
4000
事實上,你可以看到,每個標誌都有點不同。
13:29
It's because we were able能夠
253
797000
2000
因為我們能夠
13:31
to run, during the manufacturing製造業 process處理,
254
799000
5000
在製造過程中,
13:37
20 colors顏色 for the X and the O,
255
805000
1000
各 20 色用在X和O,
13:38
which哪一個 is the name名稱 of the computer電腦,
256
806000
2000
這是電腦的名字,
13:41
and by mixing混合 them on the manufacturing製造業 floor地板,
257
809000
3000
將它們在製造現場混合,
13:44
you get 20 times 20: you get
258
812000
3000
20 x 20:
13:48
400 different不同 options選項 there.
259
816000
2000
共有 400 種組合。
13:50
So, the lessons教訓 from seeing眼看 the kids孩子
260
818000
2000
看開發中國家學童用它們
13:52
using運用 them in the developing發展 world世界 are incredible難以置信.
261
820000
2000
得到的啟示是難能可貴的。
13:54
But this is my nephew外甥, Anthony安東尼, in Switzerland瑞士,
262
822000
3000
但這是我侄子安東尼,在瑞士,
13:58
and he had the laptop筆記本電腦 for an afternoon下午,
263
826000
2000
有個下午我讓他用電腦,
14:00
and I had to take it back. It was hard.
264
828000
2000
要把它拿回來,還真難。
14:03
(Laughter笑聲)
265
831000
1000
(笑聲)
14:04
And it was a prototype原型. And a month and a half later後來,
266
832000
4000
這是原型機。一個半月後,
14:08
I come back to Switzerland瑞士,
267
836000
1000
我回到瑞士,
14:09
and there he is playing播放 with his own擁有 version.
268
837000
4000
看到他在玩自己的電腦。
14:15
(Laughter笑聲)
269
843000
1000
(笑聲)
14:16
Like paper, paper and cardboard紙板.
270
844000
2000
像是紙,紙和紙板。
14:21
So, I'm going to finish with one last project項目,
271
849000
5000
結束前將再談一個專案。
14:26
and this is a little bit more of adult成人 play.
272
854000
2000
這有點像是成人遊戲。
14:29
(Laughter笑聲)
273
857000
1000
(笑聲)
14:30
Some of you might威力 have heard聽說 about the New York紐約 City condom避孕套.
274
858000
3000
或許有人聽過紐約安全套。
14:34
It's actually其實 just launched推出, actually其實 launched推出 on Valentine's情人節 Day,
275
862000
5000
它才剛發行,在情人節公開,
14:39
February二月 14, about 10 days ago.
276
867000
2000
二月十四日,大約十天前。
14:42
So, the Department of Health健康 in New York紐約 came來了 to us,
277
870000
4000
紐約衛生局來找我們,
14:46
and they needed需要 a way to distribute分發
278
874000
5000
他們要找分送安全套的方法
14:51
36 million百萬 condoms避孕套 for free自由 to the citizens公民 of New York紐約.
279
879000
5000
免費分送 3,600 萬個安全套給紐約市民。
14:56
So a pretty漂亮 big endeavor努力, and we worked工作 on the dispensers掌櫃.
280
884000
5000
是一件大工程,我們設計配送器,
15:01
These are the dispensers掌櫃. There's this friendly友善 shape形狀.
281
889000
3000
這些就是配送器。它有親切的外形。
15:04
It's a little bit like designing設計 a fire hydrant消防栓,
282
892000
4000
有點像是設計消防栓,
15:09
and it has to be easily容易 serviceable維修:
283
897000
3000
它要方便好用:
15:14
you have to know where it is and what it does.
284
902000
3000
我們要知道它在哪、能做什麼。
15:17
And we also designed設計 the condoms避孕套 themselves他們自己.
285
905000
4000
我們也設計安全套本身。
15:22
And I was just in New York紐約 at the launch發射,
286
910000
2000
發行時我剛好在紐約,
15:24
and I went to see all these places地方 where they're installed安裝:
287
912000
3000
我去看它們裝設的地方。
15:27
this is at a Puerto波多黎各 Rican波多黎各 little mom-and-pop媽媽和流行 store商店;

16:09
So, this is really where design設計
297
957000
4000
這是設計
16:13
is able能夠 to create創建 a conversation會話.
298
961000
1000
能創造的對話。
16:14
I was in these venues場館, and people were,
299
962000
2000
我到了這些地方,人們都
16:17
you know, really into getting得到 them. They were excited興奮.
300

都去拿了。他們很興奮。
16:20
It was breaking破壞 the ice,

4000
可以說破冰了,
16:25
it was getting得到 over a stigma柱頭,
302
973000
2000
它打破了難為情,
16:27
and I think that's also what design設計 can do.
303
975000
2000
我認為這也是設計能做到的。
16:31
So, I was going to
304
979000
1000
因此,我想要...
16:32
throw some condoms避孕套 in the room房間 and whatnot諸如此類,
305
980000
4000
丟一些安全套給觀眾,
16:36
but I'm not sure it's the etiquette禮儀 here.
306
984000
4000
但我不確定是否適宜。
16:40
(Laughter笑聲)
307
988000
1000
(笑聲)
16:41
Yeah? All right, all right. I have only a few少數.
308
989000
2000
啊,很好。我只有一些。
16:43
(Laughter笑聲)
309
991000
2000
(笑聲)
16:46
(Applause掌聲)
310
994000
3000
(掌聲)
16:49
So, I have more, you can always ask me for some more later後來.
311
997000
6000
還有一些,想要可以再找我。
16:56
(Laughter笑聲)
312
1004000
1000
(笑聲)
16:57
And if anybody任何人 asks why you're carrying攜帶 a condom避孕套,
313
1005000
4000
如果有人問:你為何帶安全套,
17:01
you can just say you like the design設計.
314
1009000
1000
你可以說,你喜歡它的設計。
17:02
(Laughter笑聲)
315
1010000
3000
(笑聲)
17:06
So, I'll finish with just one thought:
316
1014000
2000
最後,我以一個想法來做結束:
17:08
if we all work together一起 on creating創建 value,
317
1016000
4000
如果我們一起創造價值,
17:12
but if we really keep in mind心神 the values of the work that we do,
318
1020000
4000
如果我們都記住我們工作的價值,
17:16
I think we can change更改 the work that we do.
319
1024000
5000
我們能改變我們的工作。
17:22
We can change更改 these values, can change更改 the companies公司 we work with,
320
1030000
3000
我們能改變這些價值,能改變公司,
17:25
and eventually終於, together一起, maybe we can change更改 the world世界.
321
1033000
4000
最後,也許我們能一起改變世界。
17:30
So, thank you.
322
1038000
1000
謝謝。
17:31
(Applause掌聲)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Yves Behar - Designer
Yves Behar has produced some of the new millennium's most coveted objects, like the Leaf lamp, the Jawbone headset, and the XO laptop for One Laptop per Child.

Why you should listen

Over the past decade, Yves Behar and his firm fuseproject have become the design group that companies turn to for a game-changing idea. Take the re-invention of the Bluetooth headset, for one; or the re-envigoration of the venerable but dowdy Birkenstock line; or Behar's LED-chic Leaf lamp for Herman Miller.

And yes, Behar and fuseproject are the people who put the green bunny ears on the XO laptop -- and are redesigning the next-gen XOXO laptop due in 2010. This quirky but deeply felt project encapsulates much of his recent work, fusing gotta-have-it design with a mission of social responsibility.
