You know, when Chris first approached me to speak at TED, I said no,
0
1000
5000
I ved, da Chris første gang kom til mig for at tale ved TED, sagde jeg nej
00:31
because I felt like I wasn't going to be able
1
6000
2000
Fordi jeg følte ikke jeg ville være i stand
00:33
to make that personal connection, you know, that I wanted to.
2
8000
3000
til at lave den personlige forbindelse, i ved, som jeg ønskede.
00:36
It's such a large conference.
3
11000
2000
Det er en så stor konference.
00:38
But he explained to me that he was in a bind,
4
13000
2000
Men han forklarede mig, at han var i knibe,
00:40
and that he was having trouble finding the kind of sex appeal
5
15000
4000
han havde svært ved at finde den slags sex-appel
00:44
and star power that the conference was known for --
6
19000
2000
og stjerneglans, som konferencen var kendt for --
00:46
(Laughter)
7
21000
1000
(Latter)
00:47
so I said fine, Ted -- I mean Chris. I'll come on two conditions.
8
22000
5000
Så jeg sagde fint, Ted -- Jeg mener Chris. Jeg vil komme på to betingelser.
00:52
One -- I want to speak as early in the morning as possible.
9
27000
5000
Et -- jeg vil tale så tidligt om morgenen som overhovedet muligt.
00:57
And two -- I want to pick the theme for TED 2006.
10
32000
4000
og to -- jeg vil vælge temaet for TED 2006
01:01
And luckily he agreed. And the theme, in two years,
11
36000
5000
Og heldigvis sagde han ja. OG temaet, om to år,
01:06
is going to be "Cute Pictures Of Puppies."
12
41000
2000
bliver: "Nuttede billeder af hundehvalpe".
01:08
(Laughter)
13
43000

I invented the Placebo Camera.
15
82000
4000
Jeg opfandt Placebo-kameraet.
01:51
(Laughter)
16
86000
2000
(Latter)
01:53
It doesn't actually take pictures, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper,
17
88000
4000
Det tager ikke rigtigt billeder, men det er fandens meget billigere,
01:57
and you still feel like you were there.
18
92000
2000
og du føler det stadig som om du var der.
01:59
(Laughter)
19
94000

(Latter)
02:10
"Dear Sir, Good day, compliments of the day, and my best wishes
20
105000
4000
"Min herre, god dag, komplimenter for dagen og mine bedste ønsker
02:14
to you and family. I know this letter will come to you surprisingly,
21
109000
5000
for dig og din familier. Jeg ved dette brev vil komme som en overraskelse,
02:19
but let it not be a surprise to you,
22
114000
2000
men lad det ikke blive en overraskelse for dig,
02:21
for nature has a way of arriving unannounced,
23
116000
2000
for naturen har en evne til at ankomme uanmeldt,
02:23
and, as an adage says, originals are very hard to find,
24
118000
3000
og, som mundheldet siger, er det svært at finde originaler,
02:26
but their echoes sound louder. So I decided to contact you myself,
25
121000
5000
men deres ekkoer lyder højere. Så jeg besluttede mig til selv at kontakte dig,
02:31
for you to assure me of safety and honesty,
26
126000
2000
så du kan forsikre mig om sikkerhed og ærlighed,
02:33
if I have to entrust any amount of money under your custody.
27
128000
4000
hvis jeg skal overlade et pengebeløb i din varetægt.
02:37
I am Mister Michael Bangoora, the son of late Mister Tiamu Bangoora --
28
132000
6000
Jeg er Hr. Michael Bangoora, søn af afdøde Hr. Tiamu Bangoora --

02:44
who was the Minister of Finance in Sierra Leone --
30
139000
2000
som var Finansminister i Sierra Leone --
02:46
(Applause)
31
141000

(Bifald)
02:47
but was killed during a civil war.
32
142000
2000
men blev dræbt i borgerkrigen.
02:49
(Laughter)
33
144000
1000
(Latter)
02:50
Knowing your country to be economical conducive for investment,
34
145000
3000
Vel vidende, at dit land er økonomisk attraktiv for investeringer,
02:53
and your people as transparent and trustworthy to engage in business,
35
148000
3000
og dit folk er åbne og hæderlige i samhandel
02:56
on which premise I write you.
36
151000
2000
under hvilken forudsætning, jeg skriver til dig.
02:58
(Laughter)
37
153000
2000
(Latter)
03:00
Before my father death,
38
155000
1000
Før min far´s død,
03:01
he had the sum of 23 million United States dollars,
39
156000
4000
havde han i alt 23 millioner United States Dollars,
03:05
which he kept away from the rebel leaders
40
160000
1000
som han gemte for oprørslederne
03:06
during the course of the war.
41
161000
2000
igennem hele krigen.
03:08
(Laughter)
42
163000
3000
(Latter)
03:11
This fund was supposed to be used
43
166000
2000
Denne fond skulle bruges til
03:13
for the rehabilitation of water reserves all over the country,
44
168000
3000
rehabilitering af vandreserverne over hele landet,
03:16
before the outbreak of war. When the war broke out,
45
171000
3000
før krigen brød ud. Da krigen brød ud,
03:19
the rebel leader demanded that the fund be given to him,
46
174000
3000
krævede oprørslederen, at fonden skulle gives til ham,
03:22
my father insisted it was not in his possession,
47
177000
4000
min far insisterede på, den ikke var i hans besiddelse,
03:26
and he was killed because of his refusal to release the fund.
48
181000
3000
og han blev dræbt på grund af hans vægring mod at frigøre fonden.
03:29
Meanwhile, my mother and I is the only person who knows about the fund
49
184000
3000
I mellemtiden, er min mor og jeg den eneste person, som ved noget om fonden.
03:32
because my father always confide in me.
50
187000
4000
fordi min far altid betror sig til mig.
03:36
I quickly made an arrangement with a Red Cross relief worker,
51
191000
2000
Jeg lavede hurtigt en aftale med en Røde Kors nødhjælpsarbejder,
03:38
who used his official van to transport the money to Lungi Airport, Freetown,
52
193000
3000
som brugte sin officielle bil til at transportere pengene til Lungi Lufthavn, Freetown,
03:41
although he did not know the real contents of the box.
53
196000
3000
skønt han ikke kendte til indholdet i kassen.
03:44
(Laughter)
54
199000
1000
(Latter)
03:45
The fund was deposited as a family reassure,
55
200000
4000
Fonden blev deponeret som en familiereserve
03:49
in a safe, reliable security company in Dakar, Senegal,
56
204000
4000
i et sikkert, pålideligt sikkerhedsfirma i Dakar, Senegal,
03:53
where I was only given temporary asylum.
57
208000
2000
hvor jeg modtog midlertidigt asyl.
03:55
I do not wish to invest the money in Senegal
58
210000
3000
Jeg ønske ikke at investere pengene i Senegal
03:58
due to unfavorable economic climate, and so close to my country.
59
213000
4000
på grund af ugunstigt økonomiske klima, og så tæt på mit hjemland.
04:02
The only assistance I need from you, which I know you would do for me,
60
217000
5000
Den eneste hjælp jeg behøver fra dig, hvilket jeg er sikker på du vil gøre for mig,
04:07
are the following: one, be a silent partner
61
222000
2000
er det følgende: et, vær en tavs partner
04:09
and receive the funds in your account in trust;
62
224000
3000
og modtag pengene på din konto i tillid;
04:12
two, provide a bank account under your control
63
227000
3000
to, stil en bankkonto under din kontrol til rådighed
04:15
to which the funds will be remitted;
64
230000
2000
hvortil pengene vil bliver overført;
04:17
three, receive the funds into your account in trust;
65
232000
4000
tre, modtag pengene på din konto i tillid,
04:21
take out your commission; and leave the rest of the money
66
236000
3000
udtag din kommission, og lad resten af pengene stå
04:24
until I arrive, after the transfer is complete.
67
239000
3000
indtil jeg ankommer, efter overførslen er fuldført.
04:27
Sincerely, Mister Michael Bangoora."
68
242000
2000
Med venlig hilsen, Mr. Michael Bangoora."

70
245000

(Bifald)
04:37
This is really embarrassing.
71
252000
2000
Dette er virkeligt pinligt.
04:39
I was told backstage that I have 18 minutes.
72
254000
4000
Jeg fik at vide, backstage, at jeg har 18 minutter.
04:43
I only prepared 15.
73
258000
1000
Jeg har kun forberedt 15.
04:44
(Laughter)
74
259000
2000
(Latter)
04:46
So if it's cool, I'd like to just wait for three.
75
261000
4000
Så hvis det er ok med jer, så vil jeg gerne lige vente i tre.
04:50
(Laughter)
76
265000
8000
(Latter)
04:58
I'm really sorry.
77
273000
2000
Jeg er virkelig ked af det.
05:00

Er du jomfru? Jomfru?
05:20
(Laughter)
85
295000
1000
(Latter)
05:21
I mean -- no, I mean like in the TED sense?
86
296000
2000
Jeg mener -- nej, jeg mener, TED-jomfru?
05:23
(Laughter)
87
298000
1000
(Latter)
05:24
Are you? Oh, yeah. So what are you,
88
299000
4000
Er du? Oh, OK. Så hvad er du,
05:28

89
303000
5000
noget i retning af 1.000, 2.000, noget i den retning? ?
05:33
You don't know what I'm talking about?
90
308000
2000
Du ved ikke, hvad jeg taler om?
05:35
(Laughter)
91
310000
5000
(Latter)
05:40
Ah, Mark --
92
315000
2000
åh, Mark --
05:42
(Laughter)

(Latter)
05:53
1,860 -- am I good?
96
328000
2000
1.860 -- er jeg god?
05:55
(Laughter)
97
330000
1000
(Latter)
05:56
And that's nothing to be ashamed of.
98
331000
2000
Og det er ikke noget at skamme sig over.
05:58
That's nothing to be ashamed of.
99
333000
2000
Det er ikke noget at skamme sig over.
06:00
(Applause)
100
335000
4000
(Bifald)
06:04
Yeah, I was hanging out with some Google guys last night.
101
339000
4000
Ser i, jeg hang ud med et par fyre fra Google i går aftes.
06:08
Really cool, we were getting wasted.
102
343000
2000
Virkelig cool, vi drak os stive.
06:10
(Laughter)
103
345000
3000
(Latter)
06:13
And they were telling me that Google software has gotten so advanced
104
348000
4000
Og de fortalte mig, at Google's software er blevet så avanceret,
06:17
that, based on your interaction with Google over your lifetime,
105
352000
4000
at, baseret på din interaktion med Google gennem din livstid,
06:21
they can actually predict what you are going to say next.
106
356000
3000
kan de faktisk forudsige hvad det næste du siger, er.
06:24
(Laughter)
107
359000
3000
(Latter)
06:27
And I was like, "Get the fuck out of here. That's crazy."
108
362000
3000
Og jeg var ligesom: "Hold dog kæft mand, det er for vildt."
06:30
(Laughter)
109
365000
2000
(Latter)
06:32
But they said, "No, but don't show anyone," but they slipped up.
110
367000
6000
Men de sagde "Nej, men vis det ikke til nogen", men de tog fejl.
06:38
And they said that I could just type in "What was I going to say next?"
111
373000
4000
Og så sagde de, at jeg bare kunne skrive hvad jeg det næste jeg ville sige ville være
06:42
and my name, and it would tell me. And I have to tell you, right now,
112
377000
3000
og mit navn, og den ville fortælle mig det. Og jeg bliver nødt til at sige, lige nu,
06:45
this is an unadulterated piece of software,
113
380000
1000
dette er et stykke original software,
06:46
this is a real Internet browser and this is an actual Google site,
114
381000
4000
dette er en ægte internetbrowser, og dette er et ægte Google-site,
06:50
and we're going to test it out live today.
115
385000
3000
og vi skal afprøve det live i dag.
06:53
What was I going to say next? And "Ze Frank" -- that's me.
116
388000
10000
Hvad er det næste, jeg vil sige? Og Ze Frank -- det er mig.
07:03
Am I feeling lucky?
117
398000
1000
Føler jeg mig heldig?
07:04
(Laughter)
118
399000
2000
(Latter)
07:06
Am I feeling lucky?
119
401000
2000
Føler jeg mig heldig?
07:08
Audience: Yes.
120
403000
2000
Publikum: Ja.
07:10
(Laughter)
121
405000
3000
(Latter)
07:13
Ze Frank: Oh. Amazing.
122
408000
3000
Ze Frank: Åh, fantastisk.
07:16

07:22
In March of 2001 --
124
417000
2000
I marts 2001 --
07:24
(Laughter)
125
419000
2000
(Latter)
07:26
I filmed myself dancing to Madonna's "Justify My Love."
126
421000
6000
optog jeg mig selv dansende til Madonnas "Justify My Love"
07:32
On a Thursday, I sent out a link to a website
127
427000
2000
På en torsdag sendte jeg et link til et websted
07:34
that featured those clips to 17 of my closest friends,
128
429000
3000
som viste de klip til 17 af mine nærmeste venner,
07:37
as part of my -- an invitation to my -- an invitation to my th --
129
432000
7000
som en del af min -- en invitation til min -- en invitation til min... --
07:44
th -- 26th birthday party.
130
439000
3000
... -- 26-års fødselsdagsfest.
07:47
(Laughter)
131
442000
2000
(Latter)
07:49
By Monday, over a million people
132
444000
3000
Mandagen efter var der over en million besøgende
07:52
were coming to this site a day.
133
447000
5000
på det websted om dagen.
07:57
(Laughter)
134
452000

(Latter)
08:00
Within a week, I received a call from Earthlink that said,
135
455000
4000
Inden for en uge modtog jeg et opkald fra Earthlink, som sagde,
08:04
due to a 10 cents per megabyte overage charge,
136
459000
2000
at på grund af en 10 cent pr. megabyte overforbrugstakst,
08:06
I owed them 30,000 dollars.
137
461000
2000
skyldte jeg dem over 30.000 dollars.
08:08
(Laughter)
138
463000
2000
(latter)
08:10
Needless to say, I was able to leave my job.
139
465000
4000
Behøver jeg at sige, at jeg var i stand til at sige mit job op?
08:14
(Laughter)
140
469000
4000
(Latter)
08:18
And, finally, you know, become freelance.
141
473000
3000
Og endelig, du ved, blive freelancer.
08:21
(Laughter)
142
476000
3000
(Latter)
08:24
But some people refer to me more of -- as, like, an Internet guru or --
143
479000
3000
Men nogle mennesker referer mere til som en -- som, en slags, en internet guru eller --
08:27
(Laughter)
144
482000
1000
(Latter)
08:28
swami.
145
483000
1000
swami.
08:29
(Laughter)
146
484000
2000
(Latter)
08:31
I -- I knew I had something.
147
486000
2000
Jeg - Jeg vidste jeg havde fat i noget.
08:33
I'd basically distilled a very difficult-to-explain
148
488000
4000
Jeg havde basalt set distilleret en meget svært forklarbar
08:37
and complex philosophy, which I won't get into here,
149
492000
4000
og kompleks filosofi, som jeg ikke vil gå ind i her,
08:41
because it's a little too deep for all of you, but --
150
496000
3000
fordi det er en smule for dybt for jer alle sammen, men --
08:44
(Laughter)
151
499000
1000
(Latter)
08:45
it's about what makes websites popular, and, you know, it's --
152
500000
5000
det handler om, hvad der gøre websteder populærre, og, du ved, det er --
08:50
(Laughter)
153
505000
2000
(Latter)
08:52
it's unfortunate that I don't have more time.
154
507000
1000
Det er ærgeligt, at jeg ikke har mere tid.
08:53
Maybe I can come back next year, or something like that.
155
508000
5000
Måske jeg kan komme tilbage næste år, eller noget i den retning.
08:58
(Laughter)
156
513000
2000
(Latter)
09:00
I'm obsessed with email. I get a lot of it.
157
515000
3000
Jeg er besat af email. Jeg får en masse af det.
09:03
Four years later, I still get probably two or three hundred emails a day
158
518000
4000
Fire år senere får jeg stadig 200 eller 300 emails om dagen
09:07
from people I don't know, and it's been an amazing opportunity
159
522000
5000
fra folk jeg ikke kender, og det har været en fantastisk mulighed
09:12
to kind of get to know different cultures, you know?
160
527000
4000
for at lære forskellige kulturer at kende, i ved?
09:16
It's like a microscope to the rest of the world.
161
531000
3000
Det er som et mikroskop mod resten af verden.
09:19
You can kind of peer into other people's lives,
162
534000
3000
Du kan kigge ind i andre folks liv,
09:22
and I also feel like I get a lot of inspiration
163
537000
5000
og jeg føler også, at jeg får en masse inspiration.
09:27
from the average user.
164
542000
2000
fra den gennemsnitlige bruger.
09:29
For example, somebody wrote me.
165
544000
1000
For eksempel var der nogle der skrev til mig.
09:30
They said, "Hey Ze, if you ever come to Boulder,
166
545000
3000
De sagde: "Hey Ze, hvis du nogensinde kommer til Boulder,
09:33
you should rock out with us," and I said, "Why wait?"
167
548000
2000
så skulle du tage og rocke med os", og jeg sagde: "Hvorfor vente?"
09:40
And they said, "Hey Ze, thanks for rocking out,
168
555000
3000
Og de sagde: "Hey Ze, tak for at rocke med os,
09:43
but I meant the kind of rocking out where we'd be naked."
169
558000
2000
men jeg mente den slags rocken, hvor vi ville være nøgne."
09:45
(Laughter)
170
560000
2000
(Latter)
09:47
And that was embarrassing.
171
562000
1000
Og det var pinligt.
09:48
But you know, it's kind of a collaboration
172
563000
3000
Men i ved, det er en slags samarbejde
09:51
between me and the fans, so I said, "Sure."
173
566000
4000
mellem mig og fans´ene, så jeg sagde: "OK".
09:55
(Laughter)
174
570000
5000
(Latter)
10:00
I hear a lot of you whispering.
175
575000
2000
Jeg kan høre en masse af jer hviske.
10:02
(Laughter)
176
577000
2000
(Latter)
10:04
And I know what you're saying. You're saying, "Holy crap,
177
579000
3000
Og jeg ved godt hvad I siger. I siger: "Hold da kæft,
10:07
how is his presentation so smooth?"
178
582000
2000
hvordan kan hans præsentation være så flydende?"
10:09
(Laughter)
179
584000
3000
(Latter)
10:12
And I have to say that it's not all me this year.
180
587000
3000
Og jeg må sige, at det ikke kun er mig i år.
10:15
I guess Chris has to take some credit here, because in years past,
181
590000
5000
Chris må også tage noget af æren, fordi i de tidligere år,
10:20
I guess there's been some sort of subpar speakers at TED. I don't know.
182
595000
3000
har der vist været lidt underlødige talere ved TED. Jeg ved det ikke.
10:23
(Laughter)
183
598000
1000
(Latter)
10:24
And so, this year, Chris sent us a TED Conference simulator.
184
599000
4000
Så, i år sendte Chris os en TED Konference-simulator.
10:28
(Laughter)
185
603000
1000
(Latter)
10:29
Which really allowed us as speakers to get there, in the trenches,
186
604000
6000
Hvilket virkelig gav os talere en mulighed for at opleve det, i skyttegravene,
10:35
and practice at home so that we would be ready for this experience.
187
610000
4000
og øve os derhjemme, så vi kunne blive klar til denne oplevelse.
10:39
And I gotta say that, you know, it's really, really great to be here.
188
614000
4000
Og jeg må sige, I ved, det er virkelig, virkelig godt at være her.
10:43
(Applause)
189
618000
3000
(Bifald)
10:46
I'd like to tell all of you a little joke. Not just the good stuff, though.
190
621000
8000
Jeg vil gerne fortælle jer en lille vits. Ikke bare de gode bidder, dog.
10:54
You can do heckler mode.
191
629000
1000
Du kan gå i brokkemodus.
10:55
Voice: Hey, moron, get off the stage.
192
630000
3000
Stemme: Hej, idiot, skrid ud af scenen.
10:58
ZF: You get off the stage.
193
633000
2000
ZF: Du kan selv forsvinde fra scenen.
11:00
(Laughter)
194
635000
2000
(Latter)
11:02
Voice: We want Malcolm Gladwell.
195
637000
2000
Stemme: Vi vil have Malcom Gladwell.
11:04
(Laughter)
196
639000
7000
(Latter)
11:11
(Applause)
197
646000
5000
(Bifald)
11:16
In case you run over time.
198
651000
2000
I tilfælde af, at du går over tiden.
11:18
I'd -- just one last thing I'd like to say, I'd, really --
199
653000
3000
Jeg -- jeg har bare en sidste ting, jeg gerne vil nå at sige, Jeg vil virkelig --
11:21
(Laughter)
200
656000
2000
(Latter)
11:23
like to thank all of you for being here.
201
658000
3000
gerne takke jer alle sammen for at være her.
11:26
(Laughter)
202
661000
2000
(Latter)
11:28
And frog mode.
203
663000
2000
Og frøtilstand.
11:41
(Sings) "Ah, the first time that I made love to a rock shrimp ..."
204
676000
4000
Ah, den første gang jeg elskede med en stenreje --
11:45
(Laughter)
205
680000
2000
(Latter
11:47
(Laughter)
206
682000
2000
(Latter)
11:49
(Applause)
207
684000
4000
(Bifald)
11:53
It's true. Some people say to me,
208
688000
2000
Det er sandt. Nogle mennesker siger til mig,
11:55
they say, "Ze, you're doing all this stuff, this Internet stuff,
209
690000
5000
de siger, Ze, du laver alle de her ting, de her internet-ting,
12:00
and you're not making any money.
210
695000
2000
og du tjener ingen penge.
12:02
(Laughter)
211
697000
2000
(Latter)
12:04
"Why?" And I say, "Mom, Dad --
212
699000
2000
Hvorfor? Og jeg svarer, "Mor, far --
12:06
(Laughter)
213
701000
4000
(Latter)
12:10
"I'm trying." You know, I don't know if you're all aware of this,
214
705000
4000
Jeg prøver". Jeg ved ikke, om I er opmærksomme på det,
12:14
but the video -- the video game market,
215
709000
2000
men spil -- computerspilmarkedet,
12:16
kids are playing these video games, oh,
216
711000
2000
børn spiller de her computerspil, oh,
12:18
but, supposedly, there's tons of money.
217
713000
2000
men, efter sigende, bliver der brugt bunkevis af penge.
12:20
I mean, like, I think, 100,000 dollars or so a year is being spent
218
715000
5000
Jeg mener, jeg tror der bliver brugt 100.000 dollars eller mere om året
12:25
on these things. So I decided to try my hand.
219
720000
4000
på de her ting. Så jeg besluttede mig for at prøve selv.
12:29
I came up with a few games.
220
724000
2000
Jeg fandt på nogle få spil.
12:31
(Laughter)
221
726000
3000
(Latter)
12:34
This is called "Atheist."
222
729000
1000
Dette kalder jeg "Ateist".
12:35
I figured it'd be popular with the young kids.
223
730000
3000
Jeg tænkte, at det ville være populært blandt de unge børn.
12:38
Look, I'll move around and say some things.
224
733000
4000
Se, jeg bevæger mig lidt rundt og siger lidt ting.
12:45
(Laughter)
225
740000
3000
(Latter)
12:48
(Applause)
226
743000
1000
(Bifald)
12:49
So that didn't go over so well.
227
744000
2000
Det solgte så ikke så godt.
12:51
(Laughter)
228
746000
3000
(Latter)
12:54
I don't really understand why you're laughing.
229
749000
2000
Jeg forstår virkelig ikke, hvorfor I griner.
12:56
(Laughter)
230
751000
2000
(Latter)
12:58
Should have done this before I tried to pitch it.
231
753000
3000
I skulle have gjort det, inden jeg prøvede at sælge det.
13:01
"Buddhist," of course, looks very, very similar to "Atheist."
232
756000
5000
"Budhist" ligner, naturligvis, "Ateist" meget.
13:06
(Laughter)
233
761000
1000
(Latter)
13:07
But you come back as a duck.
234
762000
2000
Men du kommer tilbage som en and.
13:09
(Laughter)
235
764000
6000
(Latter)
13:15
And this is great because, you know, for a quarter,
236
770000
2000
Og det er fedt fordi, I ved, for en femmer,
13:17
you can play this for a long time.
237
772000
2000
kan man spille dette i lang tid.
13:19
(Laughter)
238
774000
2000
(Latter)
13:21
And Chris had said in an email that, you know,
239
776000
2000
Og Chris sagde i en email, I ved,
13:23
we should really bring something new to TED,
240
778000
2000
at vi gerne skulle bringe noget nyt med til TED,
13:25
something that we haven't shown anyone.
241
780000
1000
noget, vi ikke har vist til nogen andre før.
13:26
So, I made this for TED. It's "Christian."
242
781000
5000
Så jeg lavede dette til TED. Det er "Kristen".
13:31
It's the third in the series.
243
786000
1000
Det er den tredje i serien.
13:32
I'm hoping it's going to do well this year.
244
787000
2000
Jeg håber den vil sælge godt i år.
13:37
(Laughter)
245
792000
3000
(Latter)
13:40
Do you have a preference? Good choice.
246
795000
4000
Har du en foretrukken? Godt valg.
13:44
(Laughter)
247
799000
4000
(Latter)
13:48
So you can wait for the Second Coming -- (Laughter)
248
803000
2000
Så kan du vente til genopstandelsen -- (Latter)
13:50
which is --
249
805000
1000
som er --
13:51
(Laughter)
250
806000
1000
(Latter)
13:52
a random number between one and 500 million.
251
807000
3000
et tilfældigt numbber mellem et og 500 millioner.
13:55
(Laughter)
252
810000
4000
(Latter)
13:59
So really, what are we talking about here? Oh, tech joy.
253
814000
4000
Hvad snakker vi egentlig om her. Jo, glæden ved teknologi.
14:03
(Laughter)
254
818000
2000
(Latter)
14:05
Tech joy, to me, means something,
255
820000
2000
Glæden ved teknologi, for mig, betyder noget,
14:07
because I get a lot of joy out of tech.
256
822000
3000
fordi jeg får en masse glæde ud af teknologi.
14:10
And in fact, making things using technology --
257
825000
4000
Og faktisk, at lave ting ved hjælp af teknologi --
14:14
and I'm being serious here, even though I'm using my sarcastic voice --
258
829000
3000
og jeg mener det alvorligt, selvom jeg bruger min sarkastiske tone --
14:17
I won't -- hold on. Making things, you know --
259
832000
5000
Jeg vil ikke -- vent lidt. At lave ting, I ved --
14:22
making things actually does give me a lot of joy.
260
837000
3000
At lave ting giver mig faktisk stor glæde.
14:25
It's the process of creation that keeps me sort of
261
840000
2000
Det er den kreative proces der holder mig
14:27
a bubble and a half above perpetual anxiety in my life,
262
842000
4000
en boble og en halv over evig angst i mit liv,
14:31
and it's that feeling of being about 80 percent complete on a project --
263
846000
3000
og det er følelsen af at være ca. 80 procent færdig med et projekt --
14:34
where you know you still have something to do,
264
849000
2000
hvor du ved, at du stadig har arbejde tilbage,
14:36
but it's not finished, and you're not starting something --
265
851000
4000
men det er ikke slut, og du er ikke ved at begynde på noget nyt --
14:40
that really fills my entire life.
266
855000
2000
der i virkeligheden fylder hele mit liv.
14:42
And so, what I've done is, I started getting interested
267
857000
3000
Og derfor, det jeg har gjort er, at jeg er begyndt at interesse mig for at
14:45
in creating online social spaces to share that feeling
268
860000
4000
skabe online sociale rum, hvor jeg kan dele den følelse
14:49
with people who don't consider themselves artists.
269
864000
3000
med mennesker, som ikke anser dem selv for at være kunstnere.
14:52
We're in a culture of guru-ship. It's so hard to use some software
270
867000
4000
Vi er i en kultur af gurudyrkelse. Det er så svært at bruge visse programmer
14:56
because, you know, it's unapproachable,
271
871000
2000
fordi, I ved, de er utilnærmelige,
14:58
people feel like they have to read the manual.
272
873000
2000
folk føler, at de har brug for at læse manualen.
15:00
So I try to --
273
875000
2000
Så jeg prøver på --
15:02
(Laughter)
274
877000
1000
(Latter)
15:03
-- I try to create these very minimal activities
275
878000
3000
Jeg prøver at skabe disse minimalistiske aktiviteter
15:06
that allow people to express themselves, and, hopefully --
276
881000
4000
der tillader mennesker at udtryk dem selv, og, forhåbentlig --
15:14
whoa, I'm like -- on the page, but it doesn't exist.
277
889000
6000
whoa, jeg er ligesom -- på siden, men den eksisterer ikke.
15:20
(Laughter)
278
895000
1000
(Latter)
15:21
It's, like -- seriously, though --
279
896000
3000
Det er, ligesom -- seriøst ment, dog --
15:24
(Laughter)
280
899000
3000
(Latter)
15:27
I try to create meaningful environments
281
902000
2000
Jeg prøver at skabe meningsfulde miljøer
15:29
for people to express themselves.
282
904000
2000
hvor folk kan udtrykke sig selv.
15:31
(Laughter)
283
906000
1000
(Latter)
15:32
Here I created a contest called, "When Office Supplies Attack,"
284
907000
4000
Her skabte jeg en konkurrence kaldet: "Når kontorforsyninger angriber",
15:36
which, I think, really resonated with the --
285
911000
2000
Hvilket jeg synes virkelig gav genklang med den --
15:38
(Laughter)
286
913000
1000
(Latter)
15:39
working population.
287
914000
2000
arbejdende del af befolkningen.
15:41
(Laughter)
288
916000
1000
(Latter)
15:42
Over 500 entries in three weeks, toilet paper fashion.
289
917000
6000
Over 500 indlæg på tre uger, toiletpapir-mode.
15:48
(Laughter)
290
923000
3000
(Latter)
15:51
Again, people from all over the country doing --
291
926000
2000
Igen, mennesker fra hele landet skabte ting --
15:53
the watch is particularly incredible.
292
928000
2000
uret er særligt bemærkelsesværdigt.
15:55
(Laughter)
293
930000
3000
(Latter)
15:58
Online drawing tools -- you've probably seen a lot of them.
294
933000
2000
Online tegneredskaber -- I har formentlig set en masse af dem.
16:00
I think they're wonderful.
295
935000
2000
Jeg synes de er vidunderlige.
16:02
I think it's a chance for people to get to play with crayons
296
937000
2000
Jeg synes, det er en chance for folk til at få lov til at lege med kridt
16:04
and all that kind of stuff. But I'm interested in the process,
297
939000
3000
og al den slags. Men jeg er interesseret i processen,
16:07
the process of creating, as the real event that I'm interested in.
298
942000
4000
den kreative proces, som den egentlige hændelse, jeg er interesseret i.
16:11
And the problem is that a lot of people suck at drawing,

946000
4000
Og problemet er, at en masse mennesker er elendige til at tegne,
16:15
and they get bummed out at this, sort of, you know, stick figure,
300
950000
4000
og får det elendigt over den her, I ved, tændstikfigur-agtige,
16:19
awful little thing that they created.
301
954000
3000
grimme lille ting, de har skabt.
16:22
And eventually, it just makes them stop playing with it,
302
957000
3000
Og i sidste ende, stopper de med at lege med det,
16:25
or draw, you know, they draw penises and things like that.
303
960000
2000
eller tegne, I ved, de tegner penisser og den slags ting.
16:27
(Laughter)
304
962000
2000
(Latter)
16:29
So, the Scribbler is an attempt to create a generative tool.
305
964000
3000
Så, Scribbler'en er et forsøg på at skabe et generativt værktøj.
16:32
In other words, it's a helping tool.
306
967000
3000
Med andre ord, det er et hjælpeværktøj.
16:35
You can draw your simple stick figure, and then it collaborates
307
970000
3000
Du kan tegne en simpel tændstikmand, og så samarbejder den
16:38
with you to create, sort of, like, a post-war German etching.
308
973000
3000
med dig og skaber en slags efterkrigstids tysk radering.
16:41
(Laughter)
309
976000
2000
(Latter)
16:43
So you can -- in fact, it's tuned to be better at drawing things
310
978000
6000
Så du kan -- faktisk er den gearet til at være bedre til at tegne ting,
16:49
that look worse. So, we go ahead, and we start scribbling, and --
311
984000
6000
der ser værre ud. Så vi begynder, og starter med at tegne lidt, og --
16:55
so the idea is that you can really,
312
990000
4000
så ideen er, at du virkelig kan,
16:59
you know, partake in this process,
313
994000
3000
I ved, tage del i processen,
17:02
but watch something really crappy look beautiful.
314
997000
3000
men se noget virkelig lort, ser smukt ud.
17:05
And here are some of my favorites. This is the little trap marionette
315
1000000
5000
Og her er et par af mine favoritter. Dette er en liille marionetfigur
17:10
that was submitted to me. Here we are, very cool.
316
1005000
6000
der blev sendt til mig. Her er den, meget cool.
17:16
(Laughter)
317
1011000
2000
(Latter)
17:18
Darling. Beautiful stuff.
318
1013000
4000
Elskede, smukt.
17:22
I mean this is incredible. This is an 11-year-old girl -- drew this
319
1017000
4000
Jeg mener, det er fantastisk. Dette er fra en 11-årig pige -- tegnede dette
17:26
and submitted it. It's just gorgeous.
320
1021000
2000
og sendte det ind. Det er bare fantastisk.
17:28
(Laughter)
321
1023000
2000
(Latter)
17:30
I'm -- I'm dead serious here. I'm actually -- this is not a joke.
322
1025000
4000
Jeg -- Jeg er gravalvorlig her. Jeg synes faktisk -- det er ikke en joke.
17:34
(Laughter)
323
1029000
2000
(Latter)
17:36
But, I think, it's a -- it's a really fun and wonderful thing.
324
1031000
3000
Men jeg synes, at det er -- det er en virkelig sjov og vidunderlig ting.
17:39
So this is called the "Fiction Project." This is an online space,
325
1034000
5000
Og dette her kaldes for skønlitteratur-projektet. Det er et online rum,
17:44
which is -- it's basically a refurbished message board
326
1039000
4000
som -- basalt set er det en renoveret opslagstavle
17:48
that encourages collaborative fiction writing.
327
1043000
2000
som opfordrer til kollaborativ skrivning af skønlitteratur.
17:50
These are haikus.
328
1045000
2000
Disse er haiku-digte.
17:52
None of the haikus were written by the same person,
329
1047000
2000
Ingen af haikuerne er skrevet af den samme person,
17:54
and in fact, no line was --
330
1049000
1000
faktisk, ikke een linje var --
17:55
you know, each line is contributed by a different person
331
1050000
3000
I ved, hver eneste linje er tilføjet af forskellige personer
17:58
at a different -- at a different time.
332
1053000
2000
på forskellige -- på forskellige tidspunkter.
18:00
I think that the "now tied up, tied down,
333
1055000
3000
Jeg synes at, "nu bundet op, bundet ned,
18:03
mistress cruel approaches me, now tied down, it's up."
334
1058000
4000
"elskerinde grusom kommer til mig, nu bundet ned, den er oppe"
18:07
It's -- it's an amazing way, and I'll tell you,
335
1062000
4000
Det -- Det er en utrolig måde, og jeg kan fortælle jer,
18:11
if you come home, and your spouse, or whoever it is,
336
1066000
5000
hvis I kommer hjem og din ægtefælle, eller hvem det end er,
18:16
says, "Let's talk" -- that, like, chills you to the very core.
337
1071000
8000
siger "Lad os snakke" -- på den måde, som isner dig allerinderst inde.
18:24
But it's peripheral activities, like these,
338
1079000
3000
Men det er perifere aktiviteter som disse,
18:27
that allow people to get together, doing fun things.
339
1082000
3000
der får folk at arbejde sammen og lave sjove ting.
18:30
They actually get to know each other,
340
1085000
1000
De lærer faktisk hinanden at kende,
18:31
and it's sort of like low-threshold peripheral activities that I think are the key
341
1086000
5000
og det er en slags perifere aktiviteter med lav indgangstærskel, som jeg synes er de vigtigste
18:36
to bringing up some of our bonding social capital
342
1091000
2000
til at bringe noget af vores sammenbindende sociale kapital
18:38
that we're lacking. And very, very quickly --
343
1093000
2000
som vi mangler. Og meget, meget hurtigt --
18:40
I love puppets. Here's a puppet.
344
1095000
4000
Jeg elsker dukker. Her er en dukke.
18:44
It dances to music. Lotte Reiniger,
345
1099000
2000
Den danser til musik, Lotte Reiniger,
18:46
an amazing shadow puppeteer in the '20s,
346
1101000
4000
en fantastisk skyggedukkefører fra '20erne
18:50
that started doing more elaborate things.
347
1105000
1000
som begyndte at gøre mere indviklede ting.
18:51
I became interested in puppets,
348
1106000
2000
Jeg blev interesseret i dukker,
18:53
and I just want to show one last thing to you.
349
1108000
3000
og jeg vil bare lige vise jer en sidste ting.
18:56
Oh, this is how you make puppets.
350
1111000
1000
åh, dette er hvordan du laver dukker.
18:57
(Applause)
351
1112000

18:59
Chris Anderson: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ze Frank.
352
1114000
2000
Chris Anderson: Mine damer og herrer, Hr. Ze Frank.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Ze Frank - Humorist, web artistZe Frank rose to fame on a viral video -- in 2001! He has been making online comedy, web toys and massively shared experiences (like the addictive Young Me Now Me) ever since.
Why you should listen
Ever since his "How to Dance Properly" viral video -- born as a party invite for 17 friends -- hit the Web in 2001, Ze Frank has been making people giggle, guffaw and gasp out loud whilst procrastinating at work. He defines, in many ways, the genre of online comedy, and continues to innovate madly on the form.
In 2006 he launched a year-long daily video blog called The Show with Ze Frank, which Slate.com called "the best sustained comedy run in the history of the Web." His rapid-fire delivery and absurd explorations in audience participation (like Earth Sandwich) has influenced a generation of digital native YouTubers. Perhap his most brilliant move: calling on fans to write the show for him. Using collaborative tools, online viewers collectively put words in his mouth (and props in his lap); he faithfully performed this wiki-comedy each week for his "Fabuloso Friday" show.
In 2008, along with Erik Kastner, Frank launched Colowars, the first massively multiplayer game on Twitter, which featured two months of sponsored online events and competitions. Recently he has worked with his audience to create a series of projects based on shared emotions such as pain, fear and the pang of nostalgia. Frank works as a consultant to range of industries on audience engagement and is a public speaker on the subject of the virtual life.
In 2012 he returned to the internet airwaves with "A Show." About which a MetaFilter commenter wrote:
If this were a cult, I would join.
If this were a religion, I would attend services.
If this were a band, I would not torrent the albums, but buy them, full price, from a local independent record store.
If this were a telethon, I would buy multiple tote bags.
Welcome back, Ze.
