„iPad“ раскажувачот Џо Сабиа ни го претставува Лотар Мегендорфер, пронаоѓач кој, во изминатиот век создаде важна технологија на раскажувањето: релјефната книга. Сабиа покажува како новата технологија секогаш ни помага да ги раскажеме нашите сопствени приказни, од пештерските ѕидови па сè до „iPad“-от кој го држи во раката додека е на сцена.

Ladies and gentlemen, gather around.

Дами и господа, соберете се наоколу.
00:17
I would love to share with you a story.
1
2000
3000
Би сакал да ви раскажам една приказна.
00:20
Once upon a time
2
5000
2000
Еднаш одамна
00:22
in 19th century Germany,
3
7000
2000
во 19-тиот век во Германија,
00:24
there was the book.
4
9000
2000
имаше една книга.
00:26
Now during this time,
5
11000
2000
Во тоа време,
00:28
the book was the king of storytelling.
6
13000
2000
книгата беше кралица на раскажувањето.
00:30
It was venerable.
7
15000
2000
Беше одважна.
00:32
It was ubiquitous.
8
17000
2000
Беше сеприсутна.
00:34
But it was a little bit boring.
9
19000
4000
Но беше малку здодевна.
00:38
Because in its 400 years of existence,
10
23000
3000
Бидејќи во нејзиното 400 годишно постоење,
00:41
storytellers never evolved the book
11
26000
2000
раскажувачите никогаш не ја унапредија книгата
00:43
as a storytelling device.
12
28000
2000
како средство за раскажување.
00:45
But then one author arrived,
13
30000
2000
Но тогаш пристигна еден автор,
00:47
and he changed the game forever.
14
32000
4000
и ја промени играта засекогаш.
00:51
(Music)
15
36000
2000
(музика)
00:53
His name was Lothar,
16
38000
2000
Неговото име е Лотар,
00:55
Lothar Meggendorfer.
17
40000
3000
Лотар Мегендорфер.
00:58
Lothar Meggendorfer put his foot down,
18
43000
3000
Лотар Мегендорфер тропна со ногата на подот,
01:01
and he said, "Genug ist genug!"
19
46000
3000
и одлучно рече, „Genug ist genug!“
01:07
He grabbed his pen,
20
52000
2000
Го зграпчи моливот,
01:09
he snatched his scissors.
21
54000
2000
и ги фати неговите ножици.
01:11
This man refused to fold to the conventions of normalcy
22
56000
2000
Овој човек одби да подлегне на конвенциите за нормалност
01:13
and just decided to fold.
23
58000
2000
и едноставно одлучи да ги превземе работите во свои раце.
01:15
History would know Lothar Meggendorfer
24
60000
2000
Историјата го познава Лотар Мегендорфер
01:17
as -- who else? --
25
62000
2000
како -- кој друг?
01:19
the world's first true inventor
26
64000
2000
првиот светски пронаоѓач
01:21
of the children's pop-up book.
27
66000
3000
на релјефните книги за деца.
01:24
(Music)
28
69000
2000
(музика)
01:26
For this delight and for this wonder,
29
71000
2000
За ова задоволство и ова чудо,
01:28
people rejoiced.
30
73000
2000
луѓето славеа.
01:30
(Cheering)
31
75000
3000
(славење)
01:33
They were happy because the story survived,
32
78000
3000
Тие беа среќни бидејќи приказната преживеа,
01:36
and that the world would keep on spinning.
33
81000
2000
и дека светот ќе продолжи да се врти.
01:38
Lothar Meggendorfer wasn't the first
34
83000
2000
Лотар Мегендорфер не беше првиот
01:40
to evolve the way a story was told,
35
85000
2000
кој го промовираше овој начин на раскажување на приказни,
01:42
and he certainly wasn't the last.
36
87000
2000
и тој секако не беше последниот.
01:44
Whether storytellers realized it or not,
37
89000
2000
Без разлика дали раскажувачите сфатија или не,
01:46
they were channeling Meggendorfer's spirit
38
91000
2000
тие го канализираа Мегендорферовиот дух
01:48
when they moved opera to vaudville,
39
93000
5000
кога операта ја доведоа до водвиљ,
01:53
radio news to radio theater,
40
98000
3000
вестите на радио до радиот театар,
01:56
film to film in motion
41
101000
3000
филмот до филм во движење
01:59
to film in sound, color, 3D,
42
104000
3000
до филм со звук, боја, 3Д,
02:02
on VHS and on DVD.
43
107000
2000
на VHS и на DVD.
02:04
There seemed to be no cure for this Meggendorferitis.
44
109000
3000
Се чинеше дека нема лек за овој Мегендорферитис.
02:07
And things got a lot more fun when the Internet came around.
45
112000
3000
И нештата станаа многу позабавни кога се појави интернетот.
02:10
(Laughter)
46
115000
2000
(смеење)
02:12
Because, not only could people broadcast their stories throughout the world,
47
117000
3000
Бидејќи, не само што луѓето можеа да ги емитуваат нивните приказни низ светот,
02:15
but they could do so
48
120000
2000
туку тие исто така можеа
02:17
using what seemed to be an infinite amount of devices.
49
122000
3000
да го прават тоа со навидум бесконечен број на уреди.
02:20
For example, one company
50
125000
3000
На пример, една компанија
02:23
would tell a story of love
51
128000
2000
раскажува приказна за љубовта
02:25
through its very own search engine.
52
130000
3000
преку сопствениот пребарувач.
02:30
One Taiwanese production studio
53
135000
2000
Едно Тајванско продуцентско студио
02:32
would interpret American politics in 3D.
54
137000
3000
ја интерпретира Американската политика во 3Д.
02:35
(Laughter)
55
140000
5000
(смеење)
02:40
And one man would tell the stories of his father
56
145000
4000
И еден човек ги раскажува приказните од својот татко
02:44
by using a platform called Twitter
57
149000
2000
користејќи ја платформата наречена Твитер
02:46
to communicate the excrement his father would gesticulate.
58
151000
3000
за да му покаќе на светот какви глупости зборува неговиот татко.
02:49
And after all this, everyone paused;
59
154000
2000
И после сето ова, сите запреа;
02:51
they took a step back.
60
156000
2000
тие се вратија чекор наназад.
02:53
They realized that, in 6,000 years of storytelling,
61
158000
3000
Сфатија дека во текот на 6 000 години раскажување,
02:56
they've gone from depicting hunting on cave walls
62
161000
4000
тие од цртањето на сцени од ловење на пештерските ѕидови
03:00
to depicting Shakespeare on Facebook walls.
63
165000
4000
дојдоа до правење на ѕид за Шексипр на фејсбук.
03:04
And this was a cause for celebration.
64
169000
3000
И ова беше повод за славење.
03:07
The art of storytelling has remained unchanged.
65
172000
2000
Уметноста на раскажувањето остана непроменета.
03:09
And for the most part, the stories are recycled.
66
174000
3000
И во најголем дел, приказните се рециклирани.
03:12
But the way that humans tell the stories
67
177000
2000
Но начинот на кој луѓето ги раскажуваат приказните
03:14
has always evolved
68
179000
2000
секогаш се развивал
03:16
with pure, consistent novelty.
69
181000
3000
со чиста, постојана иновативност.
03:19
And they remembered a man,
70
184000
2000
И сите би се сетиле на еден човек,
03:21
one amazing German,
71
186000
3000
еден неверојатен Германец,
03:24
every time a new storytelling device
72
189000
4000
секогаш кога нов уред за раскажување на приказни
03:28
popped up next.
73
193000
2000
ќе се пронајде.
03:30
And for that,
74
195000
2000
И за тоа,
03:32
the audience --
75
197000
2000
публиката,
03:34
the lovely, beautiful audience --
76
199000
2000
прекрасната, драга публика --
03:36
would live happily ever after.
77
201000
3000
ќе живее среќно до крајот на животот.
03:39
(Applause)
