00:26
I wrote this poem after hearing a pretty well known actress
0
1000
4000
Napisao sam ovu pjesmu nakon što sam čuo kako prilično poznata glumica
00:30
tell a very well known interviewer on television,
1
5000
3000
govori vrlo poznatom spikeru s televizije,
00:33
"I'm really getting into the Internet lately.
2
8000
2000
"U zadnje vrijeme sam stvarno počela koristiti Internet.
00:35
I just wish it were more organized."
3
10000
2000
Kada bi samo bio još organiziraniji."
00:37
So ...
4
12000
1000
Pa --
00:38
(Laughter)
5
13000
2000
(Smijeh)
00:42
If I controlled the Internet,
6
17000
3000
kada bih ja kontrolirao Internet,
00:45
you could auction your broken heart on eBay.
7
20000
4000
mogli biste licitirati svoje slomljeno srce na eBay-u,
00:49
Take the money; go to Amazon;
8
24000
2000
uzmite novac, odite na Amazon,
00:51
buy a phonebook for a country you've never been to -- call folks at random
9
26000
4000
kupite imenik zemlje u kojoj nikad niste bili i počnite zvati ljude nasumce
00:55
until you find someone who flirts really well in a foreign language.
10
30000
3000
sve dok ne pronađete nekoga tko jako dobro koketira na stranom jeziku.
00:58
(Laughter)
11
33000
1000
(Smijeh)
00:59
If I were in charge of the Internet,
12
34000
2000
Kad bih ja bio zadužen za Internet,
01:01
you could Mapquest your lover's mood swings.
13
36000
3000
mogli biste MapQuest-ati promjene raspoloženja svog ljubavnika.
01:04
Hang left at cranky, right at preoccupied,
14
39000
4000
Stanite s lijeve na mrzovoljan, s desne na prezaposlen,
01:08
U-turn on silent treatment,
15
43000
2000
napravite U-okret na tihom tretmanu,
01:10
all the way back to tongue kissing and good lovin'.
16
45000
3000
te natrag sve do dobrog ljubljenja jezicima i dobre ljubavi,
01:13
You could navigate and understand every emotional intersection.
17
48000
3000
i mogli biste navigirati i shvatiti svako emocionalno raskrižje.
01:16
Some days, I'm as shallow as a baking pan,
18
51000
3000
Ima dana kada sam plitak kao tava za pečenje,
01:19
but I still stretch miles in all directions.
19
54000
2000
ali i dalje se protežem miljama u svim smjerovima.
01:21
If I owned the Internet, Napster, Monster and Friendster.com
20
56000
6000
Kad bih ja posjedovao Internet, Napster, Monster i Friendster.com
01:27
would be one big website.
21
62000
2000
bi bila jedna velika web-stranica.
01:29
That way you could listen to cool music
22
64000
2000
Na taj bi način mogli slušati super glazbu
01:31
while you pretend to look for a job
23
66000
2000
dok se pretvarate da tražite posao
01:33
and you're really just chattin' with your pals.
24
68000
2000
a zapravo čavrljate sa svojim prijateljima.
01:35
(Laughter)
25
70000
1000
(Smijeh)
01:36
Heck, if I ran the Web, you could email dead people.
26
71000
4000
Kvragu, kad bih ja upravljao Internetom, mogli biste poslati email mrtvacima.
01:40
(Laughter)
27
75000
2000
(Smijeh)
01:42
They would not email you back
28
77000
2000
Oni vam ne bi odgovorili -
01:44
(Laughter) --
29
79000
1000
(Smijeh)
01:45
but you'd get an automated reply.
30
80000
2000
ali biste dobili automatski odgovor.
01:47
(Laughter)
31
82000
2000
(Smijeh)
01:49
Their name in your inbox
32
84000
2000
Njihovo ime u vašem pretincu --
01:51
(Laughter) --
33
86000
1000
(Smijeh)
01:52
it's all you wanted anyway.
34
87000
2000
to je sve što ste ionako htjeli.
01:54
And a message saying, "Hey, it's me. I miss you.
35
89000
3000
I poruka koja kaže, "Hej, ja sam. Nedostaješ mi.
01:57
(Laughter)
36
92000
1000
(Smijeh)
01:58
Listen, you'll see being dead is dandy.
37
93000
3000
Slušaj, vidjet ćeš da je biti mrtav kicoški.
02:01
Now you go back to raising kids and waging peace and craving candy."
38
96000
4000
Sada se vrati odgajanju djece i pomirenju i žudnji za slatkišima."
02:05
If I designed the Internet, childhood.com would be a loop
39
100000
5000
Kad bih ja dizajnirao Internet, childhood.com bi bila petlja
02:10
of a boy in an orchard, with a ski pole for a sword,
40
105000
5000
dječaka u voćnjaku, sa skijaškim štapom kao mačem,
02:15
trashcan lid for a shield, shouting, "I am the emperor of oranges.
41
110000
3000
pokrovom kante za smeće kao štitom, vičući, "Ja sam car naranči.
02:18
I am the emperor of oranges. I am the emperor of oranges."
42
113000
3000
Ja sam car naranči. Ja sam car naranči."
02:21
Now follow me, OK?
43
116000
1000
Slijedite me, OK?
02:22
(Laughter)
44
117000
1000
(Smijeh)
02:23
Grandma.com would be a recipe for biscuits and spit-bath instructions.
45
118000
3000
Grandma.com bi bio recept za kolačiće i upute o pljuvanju-kupanju.
02:26
One, two, three.
46
121000
2000
Jedan, dva, tri.
02:28
That links with hotdiggitydog.com.
47
123000
2000
To se povezuje s hotdiggitydog.com.
02:30
That is my grandfather.
48
125000
2000
To je moj djed.
02:32
They take you to gruff-ex-cop-on-his-fourth-marriage.dad.
49
127000
2000
Oni vas vode na osoran-bivši-policajac-na-svoj-četvrti-brak.tata."
02:34
He forms an attachment to
50
129000
1000
On stvara privitak na
02:35
kind-of-ditzy-but-still-sends-ginger-snaps-for-Christmas.mom,
51
130000
2000
pomalo-ekscentričnu-ali-još-uvijek-šalje-lomljive-kolačiće-od-đumbira-za-Božić.mama,
02:37
who downloads the boy in the orchard, the emperor of oranges,
52
132000
4000
koje skida dječaka u voćnjaku, cara naranči,
02:41
who grows up to be me --
53
136000
3000
koji izraste u mene --
02:44
the guy who usually goes too far.
54
139000
2000
čovjeka koji uobičajeno ide predaleko.
02:46
So if I were emperor of the Internet,
55
141000
3000
Kada bi bio car Interneta,
02:49
I guess I'd still be mortal, huh?
56
144000
3000
vjerujem da bih još uvijek bio smrtan, ha?
02:52
But at that point, I would probably
57
147000
2000
Ali u toj točki, ja bih vjerojatno
02:54
already have the lowest possible mortgage
58
149000
4000
već imao najnižu moguću hipoteku
02:58
and the most enlarged possible penis
59
153000
2000
i najveći mogući penis --
03:00
(Laughter) --
60
155000
1000
(Smijeh)
03:01
so I would outlaw spam on my first day in office.
61
156000
2000
i na prvi dan u uredu bih već prognao lošu poštu.
03:03
I wouldn't need it.
62
158000
2000
Ne bih je trebao.
03:05
I'd be like some kind of Internet genius, and me,
63
160000
2000
Bio bih kao neka vrsta Internet genija, a ja,
03:07
I'd like to upgrade to deity and maybe just like that --
64
162000
4000
bih se volio nadograditi do božanstva i možda samo tako --
03:11
pop! -- I'd go wireless.
65
166000
3000
pop -- postao bih bežićan.
03:14
(Laughter)
66
169000
1000
(Smijeh)
03:15
Huh? Maybe Google would hire this.
67
170000
2000
Ha? Možda bi Google to zaposlio.
03:17
I could zip through your servers and firewalls like a virus
68
172000
2000
Mogao bih letjeti kroz vaše servere i vatrene zidove poput virusa
03:19
until the World Wide Web is as wise, as wild and as organized
69
174000
4000
sve dok World Wide Web nije toliko pametan, divlji i organiziran
03:23
as I think a modern-day miracle/oracle can get, but, ooh-eee,
70
178000
5000
kao što ja mislim da bi čudo modernog doba/proročanstvo moglo biti, ali, ooo-iii,
03:28
you want to bet just how whack and un-PC
71
183000
4000
želite se kladiti samo kako će udaren i ne-PC
03:32
your Mac or PC is going to be when I'm rocking
72
187000
2000
vaš Mac ili PC biti kada ja vodim cijelo sranje,
03:34
hot-shit-hot-shot-god.net?
73
189000
2000
svu zabavu na god.net?
03:36
I guess it's just like life.
74
191000
2000
Vjerujem da je to nalik životu.
03:38
It is not a question of if you can --
75
193000
2000
To nije pitanje možete li.
03:40
it's: do ya?
76
195000
2000
Već, jesi li?
03:42
We can interfere with the interface.
77
197000
2000
Možemo interferirati sa sučeljem.
03:44
We can make "You've got Hallelujah" the national anthem of cyberspace
78
199000
3000
Možemo učiniti "Imate Halleluju" nacionalnom himnom kibernetskog prostora
03:47
every lucky time we log on.
79
202000
2000
svaki sretni put kada se ulogiramo.
03:49
You don't say a prayer.
80
204000
2000
Ne kažete molitvu.
03:51
You don't write a psalm.
81
206000
2000
Ne pišete psalam.
03:53
You don't chant an "om."
82
208000
2000
Ne pjevate "om".
03:55
You send one blessed email to whomever you're thinking of
83
210000
4000
Pošaljete jednu blagoslovljenu e-poštu na koga god mislite
03:59
at dah-da-la-dat-da-dah-da-la-dat.com.
84
214000
6000
na "dah da la dat da dah da la dat dot com".
04:05
Thank you, TED.
85
220000
1000
Hvala ti, TED.
04:06

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Rives - Performance poet, multimedia artistPerformance artist and storyteller Rives has been called "the first 2.0 poet," using images, video and technology to bring his words to life.
Why you should listen
Part poet, part storyteller, part philosopher, Rives is the co-host of TEDActive as well as a frequent TED speaker. On stage, his poems burst in many directions, exposing multiple layers and unexpected treats: childhood memories, grown-up humor, notions of love and lust, of what is lost forever and of what's still out there waiting to unfold. Chimborazo.
A regular on HBO's Def Poetry Jam, Rives also starred alongside model Bar Refaeli in the 2008 Bravo special Ironic Iconic America, touring the United States on a "roller coaster ride through the eye-popping panorama of American pop culture." Flat pages can't contain his storytelling, even when paper is his medium. The pop-up books he creates for children unfold with surprise: The Christmas Pop-Up Present expands to reveal moving parts, hidden areas and miniature booklets inside.
His latest project—the Museum of Four in the Morning—is an ode to a time that may well be part of a global conspiracy. In a good way.
