Mennesker nøjes ikke med at lave mad længere -- de laver mad, skriver sms'er, taler i telefon, ser YouTube og oploader billeder af den lækre mad de lige har lavet. Designer Paolo Cardini stiller spørgsmål ved effektiviteten af vores multitaskende verden og fremfører et argument for -- gisp -- "monotasking". Hans charmerende 3D-printede smartphone omslag kunne måske hjælpe.

I'm a designer and an educator.

2896
Jeg er designer og underviser.
00:19
I'm a multitasking person, and I push my students
1
3381
2896
Jeg er en multitaskende person, og jeg driver mine studerende
00:22
to fly through a very creative, multitasking design process.
2
6277
6111
til at flyve gennem en meget kreativ, multitaskende design process.
00:28
But how efficient is, really, this multitasking?
3
12388
4965
Men hvor effektivt er det, virkeligt, dette multitasking?
00:33
Let's consider for a while the option of monotasking.
4
17353
5705
Lad os et øjeblik overveje muligheden for monotasking.
00:38
A couple of examples.
5
23058
2915
Et par eksempler.
00:41
Look at that.
6
25973
1428
Se på det.
00:43
This is my multitasking activity result. (Laughter)
7
27401
3613
Dette er resultatet af min multitaskende aktivtet. (Latter)
00:46
So trying to cook, answering the phone, writing SMS,
8
31014
3655
Så prøv at lave mad, tale i telefon, skrive SMS,
00:50
and maybe uploading some pictures
9
34669
2352
og måske uploade nogle billeder
00:52
about this awesome barbecue.
10
37021
3518
om denne fede barbeque.
00:56
So someone tells us the story about supertaskers,
11
40539
4034
Så nogen fortæller os historien om supertaskere,
01:00
so this two percent of people who are able
12
44573
3425
disse to procent af alle mennesker der er i stand
01:03
to control multitasking environment.
13
47998
4136
til at kontrollere et multitasking miljø.
01:08
But what about ourselves, and what about our reality?
14
52134
4604
Men hvad med os selv, og hvad med vores virkelighed?
01:12
When's the last time you really enjoyed
15
56738
2301
Hvornår har I sidst virkelig nydt
01:14
just the voice of your friend?
16
59039
3270
bare jeres venners stemme?
01:18
So this is a project I'm working on,
17
62309
3256
Så dette projekt jeg arbejder på,
01:21
and this is a series of front covers
18
65565
5044
og dette er en serie af frontafdækninger
01:26
to downgrade our super, hyper —
19
70609
4507
til at nedgradere vores super, hyper --
01:31
(Laughter) (Applause)
20
75116
4917
(Latter) (Bifald)
01:35
to downgrade our super, hyper-mobile phones
21
80033
2808
til at nedgradere vores super, hyper mobiltelefoner
01:38
into the essence of their function.
22
82841
3031
til essensen af deres funktion.
01:41
Another example: Have you ever been to Venice?
23
85872
2777
Et andet eksempel: Har I nogensinde været i Venedig?
01:44
How beautiful it is to lose ourselves in these little streets
24
88649
4313
Hvor smukt er det at fortabe os i de små gader
01:48
on the island.
25
92962
2383
på øen.
01:51
But our multitasking reality is pretty different,
26
95345
3442
Men vores multitaskende virkelighed er temmelig anderledes,
01:54
and full of tons of information.
27
98787
4272
og fyldt med tonsvis af information.
01:58
So what about something like that
28
103059
2537
Så hvad med noget ligesom dette
02:01
to rediscover our sense of adventure?
29
105596
4167
til at genopdage vores sans for eventyr?
02:05
I know that it could sound pretty weird to speak about mono
30
109763
3273
Jeg ved at det kunne lyde temmelig mærkeligt at tale om mono
02:08
when the number of possibilities is so huge,
31
113036
4551
når antallet af muligheder er så kæmpestort,
02:13
but I push you to consider the option of
32
117587
4599
men jeg driver jer til at overveje muligheden for at
02:18
focusing on just one task,
33
122186
3117
fokusere på bare en opgave,
02:21
or maybe turning your digital senses totally off.
34
125303
5957
eller måske slukke fuldstændigt for jeres digitale sanser.
02:27
So nowadays, everyone could produce his mono product.
35
131260
6016
Så nu til dags, kunne alle producere dette mono produkt.
02:33
Why not? So find your monotask spot
36
137276
3744
Hvorfor ikke? Så find jeres monotask sted
02:36
within the multitasking world.
37
141020
2584
i jeres multitask verden.
02:39
Thank you.
38
143604
1533
Tak.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Paolo Cardini - DesignerPaolo Cardini is a product designer who asks serious questions about how we live -- and answers them with whimsical and playful designs.
Why you should listen
Paolo Cardini likes asking some important questions about the way we live, like: Does multitasking actually help us become more efficient? How far will social networking go? Who are the players in the myriad conflicts in the Arab world? What is the next frontier in product development? -- and trying to answer them with playful designs, like his I Like Sit chaise lounge, which updates your Facebook status depending on your position, and MiddleField, a foosball table depicting different players in the Middle East. For TEDGlobal 2012 Cardini created a unique product called the MONOtask project. To help you deal with your overly multitasked life, Cardini has designed 3D-printed smartphone covers that "downgrade" your phone to be much dumber. Download your own cover plans and start monotasking >>
Cardini is currently an MFA Design Assistant Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar.
