00:12
I've noticed something interesting about society and culture.

2594
我注意到一些關於社會
和文化的有趣現象。
和文化的有趣現象。
00:14
Everything risky requires a license,
1
2998
2893
任何冒險的事都需要證書，
00:17
so learning to drive, owning a gun, getting married.
2
5891
5421
例如學開車、持槍、結婚。
00:23
(Laughter)
3
11312
3547
（笑聲）
00:26
That's true in everything risky except technology.
4
14859
3745
對任何冒險的事來說都是如此，除了科技。
00:30
For some reason, there's no standard syllabus,
5
18604
2359
因為某種原因，科技沒有標準大綱，
00:32
there's no basic course.
6
20963
1856
沒有基礎課程。
00:34
They just sort of give you your computer
7
22819
1545
人們只是給你一台電腦
00:36
and then kick you out of the nest.
8
24364
2156
讓你自生自滅。
00:38
You're supposed to learn this stuff how?
9
26520
2127
你該怎麼學會使用這種東西吶？
00:40
Just by osmosis. Nobody ever sits down
10
28647
2289
僅能潛移默化。沒人會坐下來
00:42
and tells you, "This is how it works."
11
30936
2028
告訴你，「它的使用方法是這樣」
00:44
So today I'm going to tell you 10 things
12
32964
3010
因此我今天打算告訴各位10件事
00:47
that you thought everybody knew, but it turns out they don't.
13
35974
3136
你認為眾所皆知，事實卻不然。
00:51
All right, first of all, on the web, when you're on the web
14
39110
2198
好，首先，在網路上，當你瀏覽網頁時
00:53
and you want to scroll down, don't pick up the mouse
15
41308
1646
你想將頁面向下捲動，別拿起滑鼠
00:54
and use the scroll bar. That's a terrible waste of time.
16
42954
2893
使用捲軸。那太浪費時間了。
00:57
Do that only if you're paid by the hour.
17
45847
2073
除非你領的是時薪。
00:59
Instead, hit the space bar.
18
47920
2102
相反地，請按空白鍵。
01:02
The space bar scrolls down one page.
19
50022
3568
空白鍵可使網頁向下捲動一頁。
01:05
Hold down the Shift key to scroll back up again.
20
53590
3111
長按 Shift 鍵（+空白鍵）
即可回到原始頁面。
即可回到原始頁面。
01:08
So space bar to scroll down one page.
21
56701
2185
因此空白鍵可使網頁向下捲動一頁。
01:10
It works in every browser on every kind of computer.
22
58886
1860
適用於所有電腦的任何瀏覽器。
01:12
Also on the web, when you're filling in one of these forms like your addresses,
23
60746
3874
同樣地，在網路上，當你填寫
一張像這樣的表格，例如你的地址，
一張像這樣的表格，例如你的地址，
01:16
I assume you know that you can hit the Tab key
24
64620
2362
我想你們知道可按Tab鍵
01:18
to jump from box to box to box.
25
66982
1488
從一個框跳到另一個框。
01:20
But what about the pop-up menu where you put in your state?
26
68470
3136
但若是點選州名的彈出式選單呢？
01:23
Don't open the pop-up menu. That's a terrible waste of calories.
27
71606
3616
別點開彈出式選單，那太浪費精力了。
01:27
Type the first letter of your state over and over and over.
28
75222
3780
重複鍵入你所在州名的第一個字母。
01:31
So if you want Connecticut, go, C, C, C.
29
79002
2412
因此如果你想填寫
康乃狄克州，請按C、C、C
康乃狄克州，請按C、C、C
01:33
If you want Texas, go T, T, and you jump right
30
81414
2896
若是想填寫德州
請按T、T，即可跳到正確選項
請按T、T，即可跳到正確選項
01:36
to that thing without even opening the pop-up menu.
31
84310
2640
甚至不需點開彈出式選單。
01:38
Also on the web, when the text is too small,
32
86950
3236
同樣地，在網頁上，當字體太小時，
01:42
what you do is hold down the Control key and hit plus, plus, plus.
33
90186
3524
你可以長按Control鍵
然後點擊 ＋、＋、＋。
然後點擊 ＋、＋、＋。
01:45
You make the text larger with each tap.
34
93710
3279
每按一次都可使字體變大些。
01:48
It works on every computer, every web browser,
35
96989
1934
適用於所有電腦的任何瀏覽器，
01:50
or minus, minus, minus to get smaller again.
36
98923
1775
或按 －、－、－ 使字體再次變小。
01:52
If you're on the Mac, it might be Command instead.
37
100698
2573
如果你使用麥金塔
或許需替換成Command鍵。
或許需替換成Command鍵。
01:55
When you're typing on your Blackberry, Android, iPhone,
38
103271
4104
當你在黑莓機
Android手機或iPhone上打字時，
Android手機或iPhone上打字時，
01:59
don't bother switching layouts to the punctuation layout
39
107375
3430
不須費心切換到符號介面
02:02
to hit the period and then a space and then try to capitalize the next letter.
40
110805
3464
鍵入句號、空格
然後試著使下個字母變成大寫。
然後試著使下個字母變成大寫。
02:06
Just hit the space bar twice.
41
114269
2218
只需雙擊空白鍵。
02:08
The phone puts the period, the space, and the capital for you.
42
116487
4044
手機會自動顯示
句號、空格，轉換成大寫字母。
句號、空格，轉換成大寫字母。
02:12
Go space, space. It is totally amazing.
43
120531
3291
按空白鍵、空白鍵即可，太神奇了。
02:15
Also when it comes to cell phones, on all phones,
44
123822
3154
同樣地，談到手機，以所有手機來說，
02:18
if you want to redial somebody that you've dialed before,
45
126976
3381
如果你想重撥給之前的致電對象，
02:22
all you have to do is hit the call button,
46
130357
2712
只需按撥打鍵，
02:25
and it puts the last phone number into the box for you,
47
133069
3643
它會將你最後撥打的號碼顯示於框中，
02:28
and at that point you can hit call again to actually dial it.
48
136712
3237
此時你可再次按撥打鍵，撥出電話。
02:31
So you don't need to go into the recent calls list,
49
139949
2032
因此你不需要進入最近通話記錄，
02:33
so if you're trying to get through to somebody,
50
141981
1706
因此如果你打算聯絡某人，
02:35
just hit the call button again.
51
143687
1057
只需再次按撥打鍵即可。
02:36
Here's something that drives me crazy.
52
144744
1402
有件事讓我抓狂。
02:38
When I call you and leave a message on your voicemail,
53
146146
2587
當我致電給你，在語音信箱留言時，
02:40
I hear you saying, "Leave a message,"
54
148733
1987
我聽見你說，「請留言」
02:42
and then I get these 15 seconds of frickin' instructions,
55
150720
3525
接著出現15秒該死的提示，
02:46
like we haven't had answering machines for 45 years!
56
154245
3688
彷彿我們45年不曾用過電話答錄機！
02:49
(Laughter)
57
157933
3059
（笑聲）
02:52
I'm not bitter.
58
160992
3037
我不是有怨氣。
02:56
So it turns out there's a keyboard shortcut
59
164029
2336
但事實上有個快捷鍵
02:58
that lets you jump directly to the beep like this.
60
166365
2193
可直接跳到像這樣的「嗶」聲。
03:00
Answering machine: At the tone, please — BEEP.
61
168558
2705
答錄機：請在嗶聲後留言－嗶。
03:03
David Pogue: Unfortunately, the carriers didn't adopt
62
171263
2138
David Pogue：不幸的是，電信公司並未採用
03:05
the same keystroke, so it's different by carrier,
63
173401
2961
相同的快捷鍵
因此視電信公司不同而有所差異，
因此視電信公司不同而有所差異，
03:08
so it devolves upon you to learn the keystroke
64
176362
3065
因此你必須自行找出適用於
03:11
for the person you're calling.
65
179427
2018
不同致電對象的快捷鍵。
03:13
I didn't say these were going to be perfect.
66
181445
2058
我可沒說這些技巧完美無缺。
03:15
Okay, so most of you think of Google as something
67
183503
3202
好，在座大多數人認為Google是
03:18
that lets you look up a webpage, but it is also a dictionary.
68
186705
3148
尋找網頁的工具，但它也是字典。
03:21
Type the word "define" and then the word you want to know.
69
189853
2729
輸入「定義」和你想查詢的字詞。
03:24
You don't even have to click anything.
70
192582
1610
甚至不需點擊任何鍵。
03:26
There's the definition as you type.
71
194192
2457
即可得到你所輸入字詞的定義。
03:28
It's also a complete FAA database.
72
196649
2062
它也是完整的
FAA（美國聯邦航空總署）資料庫。
FAA（美國聯邦航空總署）資料庫。
03:30
Type the name of the airline and the flight.
73
198711
1970
輸入航空公司名稱及航班。
03:32
It shows you where the flight is, the gate, the terminal,
74
200681
2572
即可顯示航班、登機門、航站等資訊、
03:35
how long till it lands. You don't need an app for that.
75
203253
2160
和飛行時間。不需使用應用程式。
03:37
It's also a unit and currency conversion.
76
205413
2752
它也是單位及貨幣轉換工具。
03:40
Again, you don't have to click one of the results.
77
208165
2848
同樣地，你不需點擊任何搜尋結果。
03:43
Just type it into the box, and there's your answer.
78
211013
2392
只需將資料輸入搜索框即可得到答案。
03:45
While we're talking about text,
79
213405
2185
談到文本，
03:47
when you want to highlight --
80
215590
2368
當你想標示－
03:49
this is just an example. (Laughter)
81
217958
4032
這只是一個例子。（笑聲）
03:53
When you want to highlight a word,
82
221990
2279
當你想標示某個字，
03:56
please don't waste your life dragging across it
83
224269
2793
請別浪費生命
03:59
with the mouse like a newbie.
84
227062
1639
像菜鳥般地拖曳滑鼠。
04:00
Double click the word. Watch 200. I go double click.
85
228701
3392
雙擊那個單字即可
請看200這裡，我雙擊一下。
請看200這裡，我雙擊一下。
04:04
It neatly selects just that word.
86
232093
1684
精確地選擇了那個字。
04:05
Also, don't delete what you've highlighted.
87
233777
2741
同樣地，別刪除你所標示的字。
04:08
You can just type over it. This is in every program.
88
236518
2951
你可以直接鍵入覆蓋它。這適用於任何軟體。
04:11
Also, you can go double click, drag
89
239469
1650
同樣地，你可以雙擊、拖曳
04:13
to highlight in one-word increments as you drag.
90
241119
3169
藉由拖曳一一標示出每個字詞。
04:16
Much more precise. Again, don't bother deleting.
91
244288
3262
更加精確。
同樣地，別費心將它刪除。
同樣地，別費心將它刪除。
04:19
Just type over it. (Laughter)
92
247550
5031
直接鍵入覆蓋即可。（笑聲）
04:24
Shutter lag is the time between your pressing the shutter button
93
252581
3445
快門延遲是指按下快門鍵
04:28
and the moment the camera actually snaps.
94
256026
2187
和相機實際拍攝瞬間的時間差。
04:30
It's extremely frustrating on any camera under 1,000 dollars.
95
258213
3288
任何低於1000美元的
相機都有這個惱人的問題。
相機都有這個惱人的問題。
04:33
(Camera click)
96
261501
1539
（相機快門聲）
04:35
(Laughter)
97
263040
2910
（笑聲）
04:37
So that's because the camera needs time
98
265950
2525
那是因為相機需要時間
04:40
to calculate the focus and the exposure,
99
268475
1848
計算焦距和光圈，
04:42
but if you pre-focus with a half-press,
100
270323
2760
但如果你半壓快門鍵，進行預聚焦，
04:45
leave your finger down, no shutter lag!
101
273083
4182
然後按下手指，不會再發生快門延遲！
04:49
You get it every time.
102
277265
1811
屢試不爽。
04:51
I've just turned your $50 camera
103
279076
2033
我剛剛將你那50美元的相機
04:53
into a $1,000 camera with that trick.
104
281109
2270
變成1000美元的相機，僅藉由這個技巧。
04:55
And finally, it often happens that you're giving a talk,
105
283379
3600
最後，這通常發生在你發表演說時，
04:58
and for some reason the audience is looking at the slide
106
286979
3056
出於某種原因，觀眾緊盯投影片
05:02
instead of at you! (Laughter)
107
290035
3456
而不是你！（笑聲）
05:05
So when that happens, this works in Keynote, PowerPoint,
108
293491
3151
因此發生這種情形時
這適用於Keynote、PowerPoint，
這適用於Keynote、PowerPoint，
05:08
it works in every program, all you do is hit the letter B key,
109
296642
2978
適用於任何軟體，你只需要按字母B鍵，
05:11
B for blackout, to black out the slide
110
299620
2369
B代表變黑，將投影片變黑
05:13
and make everybody look at you, and then when you're ready to go on,
111
301989
2167
讓每個人都看著你，當你準備繼續時，
05:16
you hit B again, and if you're really on a roll,
112
304156
3247
再次按下B鍵，順利的話
05:19
you can hit the W key for whiteout,
113
307403
2841
你可按W鍵使螢幕變白，
05:22
and you white out the slide, and then you can hit W again
114
310244
3127
投影片變白後，你可再次按下W鍵
05:25
to unblank it.
115
313371
1273
使它恢復原狀。
05:26
So I know I went super fast. If you missed anything,
116
314644
2605
我知道我講得相當快，
如果你錯過了什麼，
如果你錯過了什麼，
05:29
I'll be happy to send you the list of these tips.
117
317249
2234
我很樂意提供各位這張技巧列表。
05:31
In the meantime, congratulations.
118
319483
1570
同時恭喜各位。
05:33
You all get your California technology license.
119
321053
2590
你們全都獲得加州技術證書
05:35
Have a great day.
120
323643
1195
祝你們擁有美好的一天
05:36
(Applause)

Why you should listen
Which cell phone to choose? What software to buy? Are camera-binoculars a necessity or novelty? As release cycles shorten and ever-shrinking gadgets hit the market with dizzying speed, it's harder and harder to know what's worth the investment. A tireless explorer of everyday technology, David Pogue investigates all the options so we don't have to.

And he does it all with relatable insight, humor and an unsinkable sense of pun, er, fun. All that, and he sings, too.
