There's currently over a thousand TEDTalks on the TED website.
0
0
4000
Kasalukuyang may isang libong TEDTalks sa website ng TED.
00:19
And I guess many of you here
1
4000
3000
At sa tingin ko marami sa inyo dito
00:22
think that this is quite fantastic --
2
7000
2000
na iniisip na kahanga-hanga ito --
00:24
except for me. I don't agree with this.
3
9000
2000
maliban sa akin. Hindi ako sang-ayon.
00:26
I think we have a situation here.
4
11000
2000
Tingin ko kami may problema tayo dito.
00:28
Because if you think about it, 1,000 TEDTalks,
5
13000
3000
Dahil kung iisipin, 1,000 TEDTalks,
00:31
that's over 1,000 ideas worth spreading.
6
16000
3000
yan ay isang libong ideya na kailangang isiwalat.
00:34
How on earth
7
19000
2000
Paano
00:36
are you going to spread a thousand ideas?
8
21000
2000
mo naman gagawin iyon?
00:38
Even if you just try to get all of those ideas into your head
9
23000
2000
Kahit na subukan mong ipasok ang lahat ng ideya sa iyong ulo
00:40
by watching all those thousand TED videos,
10
25000
2000
sa pamamagitan ng panonood ng isang libong bidyo sa TED,
00:42
it would actually currently take you
11
27000
3000
mangangailangan ka ng
00:45
over 250 hours to do so.
12
30000
2000
higit sa 250 oras upang tapusin ito.
00:47
And I did a little calculation of this.
13
32000
2000
At gumawa ako ng simpleng kalkulasyon.
00:49
The damage to the economy for each one who does this
14
34000
3000
At ang masamang dulot nito sa ekonomiya kada isang tao
00:52
is around $15,000.
15
37000
2000
ay aabot ng $15,000.
00:54
So having seen this danger to the economy,
16
39000
3000
Kaya dahil sa dalang panganib nito sa ekonomiya,
00:57
I thought, we need to find a solution to this problem.
17
42000
3000
inisip ko, kailangan ng solusyon sa problemang ito.
01:00
Here's my approach to it all.
18
45000
2000
Ito ang naisip kong diskarte.
01:02
If you look at the current situation,
19
47000
2000
Sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon,
01:04
you have a thousand TEDTalks.
20
49000
2000
may isang libong TEDTalks.
01:06
Each of those TEDTalks has an average length
21
51000
2000
Kada TEDTalk ay may haba
01:08
of about 2,300 words.
22
53000
2000
na aabot sa 2,300 salita.
01:10
Now take this together
23
55000
2000
Kapag pinagsama-sama mo sila
01:12
and you end up with 2.3 million words of TEDTalks,
24
57000
3000
may 2.3 milyong salita sa TEDTalks,
01:15
which is about three Bibles-worth of content.
25
60000
3000
na higit sa laman ng Bibliya ng makatatlong beses.
01:18
The obvious question here is,
26
63000
2000
Siyempre itatanong mo,
01:20
does a TEDTalk really need 2,300 words?
27
65000
3000
kailangan bang 2,300 salita ang haba ng isang TEDTalk?
01:23
Isn't there something shorter?
28
68000
2000
Hindi ba't may mas maiikli?
01:25
I mean, if you have an idea worth spreading,
29
70000
2000
Hindi ba, kung may ideya kang nais isiwalat,
01:27
surely you can put it into something shorter
30
72000
2000
tiyak na kaya mo itong sabihin nang mas maikli
01:29
than 2,300 words.
31
74000
2000
kumpara sa 2,300 salita.
01:31
The only question is, how short can you get?
32
76000
2000
Ang tanging tanong ay, gaano kaikli?
01:33
What's the minimum amount of words
33
78000
2000
Ano ang pinakakaunting bilang ng salita
01:35
you would need to do a TEDTalk?
34
80000
2000
upang makabuo ng isang TEDTalk?
01:37
While I was pondering this question,
35
82000
2000
Habang iniisip ko ito,
01:39
I came across this urban legend about Ernest Hemingway,
36
84000
3000
napag-alaman ko ang urban legend tungkol kay Ernest Hemingway,
01:42
who allegedly said that these six words here:
37
87000
3000
na di-umano'y nagpahayag ng katagang ito:
01:45
"For sale: baby shoes, never worn,"
38
90000
3000
"Binibenta: sapatos ng sanggol, hindi pa nasusuot,"
01:48
were the best novel he had ever written.
39
93000
3000
ang pinakamahusay na nobela niya.
01:51
And I also encountered a project called Six-Word Memoirs
40
96000
2000
Nalaman kong may proyektong "Six-Word Memoirs" (mga talambuhay na binubuo ng 6 na salita)
01:53
where people were asked,
41
98000
2000
kung saan ang mga kabilang dito ay pinakiusapang
01:55
take your whole life and please sum this up into six words, such as these here:
42
100000
3000
sumulat ng 6 na salita na maglalahad ng kanilang buong buhay, tulad nito:
01:58
"Found true love, married someone else."
43
103000
2000
"Tunay na pag-ibig natagpuan, nag-asawa ng iba."
02:00
Or "Living in existential vacuum; it sucks."
44
105000
3000
O "Nabubuhay sa kawalan; labis na nakapanlulumo"
02:03
I actually like that one.
45
108000
2000
Nagustuhan ko ang isa na iyon.
02:05
So if a novel can be put into six words
46
110000
3000
Kaya kung ang isang nobela ay mailalagay sa 6 na salita
02:08
and a whole memoir can be put into six words,
47
113000
3000
at isang buong talambuhay ay maisusulat sa 6 na salita,
02:11
you don't need more than six words for a TEDTalk.
48
116000
3000
hindi na kailangan ng higit sa 6 na salita kada TEDTalk.
02:14
We could have been done by lunch here.
49
119000
2000
Tapos na sana tayo dito bago pa magtanghalian.
02:16
I mean ...
50
121000
3000
Ibig sabihin...
02:19
And if you did this for all thousand TEDTalks,
51
124000
2000
Kung may isang libong TEDTalks,
02:21
you would get from 2.3 million words down to 6,000.
52
126000
3000
mababawasan ang 2.3 milyong salita at magiging 6,000.
02:24
So I thought this was quite worthwhile.
53
129000
2000
Kaya sabi ko maganda ito.
02:26
So I started asking all my friends,
54
131000
2000
Sinimulan kong humihingi ng tulong sa lahat ng mga kaibigan,
02:28
please take your favorite TEDTalk and put that into six words.
55
133000
3000
na magbigay ng 6 na salita sa kanilang paboritong TEDTalk.
02:31
So here are some of the results that I received. I think they're quite nice.
56
136000
2000
Ito ang ilan sa mga resulta. Tingin ko maganda naman ang kinalabasan.
02:33
For example, Dan Pink's talk on motivation,
57
138000
2000
Halimbawa, ang talumpati ni Dan Rosas tungkol sa pagganyak
02:35
which was pretty good if you haven't seen it:
58
140000
2000
na nakakaaliw, kung hindi mo pa ito napapanood:
02:37
"Drop carrot. Drop stick. Bring meaning."
59
142000
2000
"Bitawan ang karot. Bitawan ang pamalo. Magdulot ng kahulugan."
02:39
It's what he's basically talking about in those 18 and a half minutes.
60
144000
3000
'Yon mismo ang tinutukoy niya sa loob ng 18 at kalahating minuto.
02:42
Or some even included references to the speakers,
61
147000
2000
Ang ilan naman, tinukoy ang kapuna-puna sa mga tagapagsalita,
02:44
such as Nathan Myhrvold's speaking style,
62
149000
2000
gaya ng istilo ni Nathan Myhrvold,
02:46
or the one of Tim Ferriss,
63
151000
2000
o ni Tim Ferriss,
02:48
which might be considered a bit strenuous at times.
64
153000
3000
na napakabagal minsan.
02:51
The challenge here is, if I try to systematically do this,
65
156000
3000
Ang hamon dito ay, kung gagawin ko sa maayos na paraan,
02:54
I would probably end up with a lot of summaries,
66
159000
2000
marami akong makukuhang buod,
02:56
but not with many friends in the end.
67
161000
2000
ngunit mababawasan naman ang bilang ng mga kaibigan ko.
02:58
So I had to find a different method,
68
163000
2000
Kaya naghanap ako ng ibang stratehiya,
03:00
preferably involving total strangers.
69
165000
2000
'yong mga hindi ko kakilala.
03:02
And luckily there's a website for that called Mechanical Turk,
70
167000
3000
Buti nalang may website na Mechanical Turk,
03:05
which is a website where you can post tasks
71
170000
2000
na maari kang maglagay ng mga tungkulin
03:07
that you don't want to do yourself,
72
172000
2000
na hindi mo nais gawin mag-isa,
03:09
such as "Please summarize this text for me in six words."
73
174000
3000
gaya ng "Mangyari lamang na magbigay ng 6 na salita na patungkol sa text na ito."
03:12
And I didn't allow any low-cost countries to work on this,
74
177000
3000
Hindi ko hinayaang magkaroon ng boluntaryo mula sa mahihirap na bansa upang makilahok dito
03:15
but I found out I could get a six-word summary for just 10 cents,
75
180000
4000
ngunit natagpuan ko na maari akong magbayad ng 10 singko sa bawat 6 na salitang buod
03:19
which I think is a pretty good price.
76
184000
2000
na sa tingin ko ay sulit naman.
03:21
Even then, unfortunately,
77
186000
2000
Sa kasamaang-palad,
03:23
it's not possible to summarize each TEDTalk individually.
78
188000
3000
hindi posible na maisabuod ang lahat ng TEDTalk.
03:26
Because if you do the math, you have a thousand TEDTalks,
79
191000
2000
Dahil kung bibilangin mo, may isang libong TEDTalks,
03:28
the pay 10 cents each;
80
193000
2000
10 singko bawat isa;
03:30
you have to do more than one summary for each of those talks,
81
195000
3000
kailangan mo ng higit sa isang buod kada talk,
03:33
because some of them will probably be, or are, really bad.
82
198000
3000
dahil ilan sa mga ito ay maari o tunay ngang hindi kahanga-hanga.
03:36
So I would end up paying hundreds of dollars.
83
201000
3000
Posibleng magbayad pa ako ng daan-daang dolyar.
03:39
So I thought of a different way
84
204000
2000
Kaya nag-isip ako ng ibang paraan
03:41
by thinking, well, the talks revolve around certain themes.
85
206000
3000
sa pamamagitan ng pagtukoy ng iilang mga tema.
03:44
So what if I don't let people summarize
86
209000
2000
Sa halip na ipagawa sa kanila
03:46
individual TEDTalks to six words,
87
211000
2000
ang 6 na salita bawat TEDTalk,
03:48
but give them 10 TEDTalks at the same time
88
213000
2000
binigyan ko sila ng 10 TEDTalks ng sabay-sabay
03:50
and say, "Please do a six-word summary for that one."
89
215000
3000
at humiling ako, "Mangyari lamang na ibuod ang mga ito sa 6 na salita."
03:53
I would cut my costs by 90 percent.
90
218000
2000
Mababawasan ang gastos ko ng 90 porsiyento.
03:55
So for $60,
91
220000
3000
Kaya sa halagang $ 60,
03:58
I could summarize a thousand TEDTalks
92
223000
2000
ang isang libong TEDTalks
04:00
into just 600 summaries,
93
225000
2000
ay naging 600 na buod,
04:02
which would actually be quite nice.
94
227000
2000
na talagang sulit na.
04:04
Now some of you might actually right now be thinking,
95
229000
2000
May iba sa inyo siguro na iniisip,
04:06
It's downright crazy to have 10 TEDTalks summarized into just six words.
96
231000
3000
nakakabaliw ang manood ng 10 TEDTalks at ibuod ang mga ito sa 6 na salita,
04:09
But it's actually not,
97
234000
2000
pero sa katunayan ay hindi ganoon.
04:11
because there's an example by statistics professor, Hans Rosling.
98
236000
3000
may halimbawa si Hans Rosling, propesor ng istatistika.
04:14
I guess many of you have seen one or more of his talks.
99
239000
2000
Marahil napanood niyo na ang isa sa kanyang talumpati o higit pa.
04:16
He's got eight talks online,
100
241000
2000
Siya ay may 8 talks online,
04:18
and those talks can basically be summed up into just four words,
101
243000
3000
at lahat ng iyon ay maisasalarawan sa 4 na salita,
04:21
because that's all he's basically showing us,
102
246000
2000
dahil ang pinapakita lang talaga niya,
04:23
our intuition is really bad.
103
248000
2000
na maling-mali ang ating inaakala.
04:25
He always proves us wrong.
104
250000
2000
Napatunayan niyang mali tayo.
04:27
So people on the Internet, some didn't do so well.
105
252000
3000
Kaya 'yong mga tao sa Internet, pangit ang kinalabasan ng ilan sa kanila.
04:30
I mean, when I asked them to summarize the 10 TEDTalks at the same time,
106
255000
2000
Nang humingi ako ng buod para sa 10 TEDTalks,
04:32
some took the easy route out.
107
257000
2000
parang minadali lang nila.
04:34
They just had some general comment.
108
259000
3000
Nagbigay lang sila ng pangkalahatang komento.
04:37
There were others, and I found this quite cheeky.
109
262000
3000
May iba, medyo mapangahas ang dating sa akin.
04:40
They used their six words to talk back to me
110
265000
2000
Ginamit nila ang 6 na salita bilang mensahe sa akin
04:42
and ask me if I'd been too much on Google lately.
111
267000
4000
at pinahiwatig kung sobra lang ba ang paggamit ko ng Google.
04:46
And finally also, I never understood this,
112
271000
3000
At 'yong iba naman, at hindi ko talaga maintindihan ito,
04:49
some people really came up with their own version of the truth.
113
274000
3000
nagbigay ng sarili nilang bersyon ng katotohanan.
04:52
I don't know any TEDTalk that contains this.
114
277000
3000
Wala ni isang TEDTalk na naglalaman nito.
04:55
But, oh well. In the end, however,
115
280000
2000
Gayunpaman,
04:57
and this is really amazing,
116
282000
2000
at tunay ngang kahanga-hanga,
04:59
for each of those 10 TEDTalk clusters that I submitted,
117
284000
2000
na para sa bawat 10 TEDTalks na pinagsama-sama ko,
05:01
I actually received meaningful summaries.
118
286000
2000
may mga natanggap akong makabuluhang buod.
05:03
Here are some of my favorites.
119
288000
2000
Ito ang ilan sa mga paborito ko.
05:05
For example, for all the TEDTalks around food,
120
290000
2000
Halimbawa, sa TEDTalks na patungkol sa pagkain,
05:07
someone summed this up into: "Food shaping body, brains and environment,"
121
292000
2000
sabi nung isa: "Pagkaing nakahuhubog ng katawan, utak at kapaligiran,"
05:09
which I think is pretty good.
122
294000
2000
na sa palagay ko ay napakaganda.
05:11
Or happiness: "Striving toward happiness =
123
296000
2000
O kaligayahan: "pagsusumikap tungo sa kaligayahan =
05:13
moving toward unhappiness."
124
298000
2000
pagkilos tungo sa kalumbayan."
05:15
So here I was.
125
300000
2000
Kaya ito ako ngayon.
05:17
I had started out with a thousand TEDTalks
126
302000
2000
Nagsimula sa isang libong TEDTalks
05:19
and I had 600 six-word summaries for those.
127
304000
3000
na may 600 na buod.
05:22
Actually it sounded nice in the beginning,
128
307000
2000
Sa simula, maganda siyang pakinggan,
05:24
but when you look at 600 summaries, it's quite a lot.
129
309000
2000
ngunit masyadong marami pa din ang 600 na buod.
05:26
It's a huge list.
130
311000
2000
Ang haba ng listahan.
05:28
So I thought, I probably have to take this one step further here
131
313000
4000
Kaya inisip kong isulong ang proyekto
05:32
and create summaries of the summaries -- and this is exactly what I did.
132
317000
3000
at lumikha ng buod ng mga buod -- ito mismo ang ginawa ko.
05:35
So I took the 600 summaries that I had,
133
320000
2000
Kaya kinuha ko ang 600 buod,
05:37
put them into nine groups
134
322000
2000
pinagbuklod sila sa 9 na grupo
05:39
according to the ratings that the talks had originally received on TED.com
135
324000
4000
ayon sa mga rating na natanggap nila sa TED.com
05:43
and asked people to do summaries of those.
136
328000
3000
at humingi ng buod sa mga tao.
05:46
Again, there were some misunderstandings.
137
331000
2000
Siyempre, may ilang hindi pagkakaintindihan.
05:48
For example, when I had a cluster of all the beautiful talks,
138
333000
2000
Halimbawa, nung pinagkumpol ko ang mga pinakamagagandang TEDTalk,
05:50
someone thought I was just trying to find the ultimate pick-up line.
139
335000
3000
sabi nung isang tao na naghahanap lang ako ng pinakamagandang pick-up line.
05:53
But in the end, amazingly,
140
338000
3000
Gayunpaman, at tunay ngang kahanga-hanga,
05:56
again, people were able to do it.
141
341000
2000
nagawa nila ang gusto ko.
05:58
For example, all the courageous TEDTalks:
142
343000
2000
Halimbawa, patungkol sa mga balyenteng TEDTalks:
06:00
"People dying," or "People suffering," was also one,
143
345000
2000
"Mga taong namamatay," o "Mga taong naghihirap," ayon sa isa,
06:02
"with easy solutions around."
144
347000
2000
"na may matatagpuang simpleng solusyon."
06:04
Or the recipe for the ultimate jaw-dropping TEDTalk:
145
349000
2000
O patungkol sa mga nakamamanghang TEDTalk:
06:06
"Flickr photos of intergalactic classical composer."
146
351000
3000
"Mga larawan sa Flickr ng isang intergalactic at klasikong kompositor."
06:09
I mean that's the essence of it all.
147
354000
3000
'Yon naman talaga ang kakanyahan ng lahat ng ito.
06:12
Now I had my nine groups,
148
357000
2000
Ngayon may siyam na grupo na lamang,
06:14
but, I mean, it's already quite a reduction.
149
359000
3000
na malaking kabawasan na sa trabaho.
06:17
But of course, once you are that far, you're not really satisfied.
150
362000
3000
Siyempre, sa puntong ito, mahirap nang makuntento.
06:20
I wanted to go all the way, all the way down the distillery,
151
365000
3000
Gusto kong ituloy ito hanggang dulo, hanggang sa maisalang ang lahat,
06:23
starting out with a thousand TEDTalks.
152
368000
2000
na nagsimula sa isang libong TEDTalks.
06:25
I wanted to have a thousand TEDTalks summarized into just six words --
153
370000
3000
Ninais kong isabuod ang isang libong TEDTalks sa 6 na salita lamang --
06:28
which would be a 99.9997 percent reduction in content.
154
373000
4000
99.9997 porsiyento na kabawasan sa orihinal na nilalaman.
06:32
And I would only pay $99.50 --
155
377000
3000
At magkakahalaga lang ito ng $99.50 --
06:35
so stay even below a hundred dollars for it.
156
380000
3000
hindi aabot ng isang daang dolyar.
06:38
So I had 50 overall summaries done.
157
383000
2000
Kaya nagpagawa ako ng 50 iba't ibang pangkalahatang buod.
06:40
This time I paid 25 cents
158
385000
2000
Ngayon 25 cents ang binayad ko
06:42
because I thought the task was a bit harder.
159
387000
3000
dahil tingin ko mas mahirap ang trabahong ito.
06:45
And unfortunately when I first received the answers --
160
390000
2000
Sa kasamaang-palad ang mga unang kong natanggap --
06:47
and here you'll see six of the answers --
161
392000
2000
ito ang unang anim kong natanggap --
06:49
I was a bit disappointed.
162
394000
2000
nadismaya ako nang kaunti.
06:51
Because I think you'll agree, they all summarize some aspect of TED,
163
396000
3000
Dahil tingin ko sasang-ayon kayo na tinutukoy nila ang ilang aspeto ng TED,
06:54
but to me they felt a bit bland,
164
399000
2000
ngunit parang kulang,
06:56
or they just had a certain aspect of TED in them.
165
401000
3000
at ilang aspeto lang ng TED ang nakapaloob dito.
06:59
So I was almost ready to give up
166
404000
3000
Muntik na akong sumuko
07:02
when one night I played around with these sentences
167
407000
2000
nang isang gabi habang binabasa ko ang mga pangungusap
07:04
and found out that there's actually a beautiful solution in here.
168
409000
4000
natagpuan ko ang isang napakagandang sagot.
07:08
So here it is,
169
413000
3000
Ito 'yon,
07:11
a crowd-sourced, six-word summary of a thousand TEDTalks
170
416000
4000
isang crowd-sourced na buod ng isang libong TEDTalks
07:15
at the value of $99.50:
171
420000
3000
sa halagang $ 99.50:
07:18
"Why the worry? I'd rather wonder."
172
423000
2000
"Hindi kailangang mag-alala. Sa halip ay mamangha"
07:20
Thank you very much.
173
425000
2000
Maraming salamat.
07:22
(Applause)
174
427000
5000
