ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Paolo Cardini - Designer
Paolo 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.

I'm a designer and an educator.

2896
Ja sam dizajner i predavač.
00:19
I'm a multitasking person, and I push my students
1
3381
2896
Radim mnogo stvari istovremeno,
i tjeram svoje studente
00:22
to fly through a very creative, multitasking design process.
2
6277
6111
da prođu kroz veoma kreativan proces
multitasking dizajna
00:28
But how efficient is, really, this multitasking?
3
12388
4965
Ali koliko je, ustvari,
efikasan ovaj multitasking?
00:33
Let's consider for a while the option of monotasking.
4
17353
5705
Hajde da razmotrimo, nakratko,
opciju monotaskinga.
00:38
A couple of examples.
5
23058
2915
Nekoliko primjera:
00:41
Look at that.
6
25973
1428
Pogledajte ovo.
00:43
This is my multitasking activity result. (Laughter)
7
27401
3613
Ovo je moj rezultat multitaskinga. (Smijeh)
00:46
So trying to cook, answering the phone, writing SMS,
8
31014
3655
Tako, pokušavam da kuvam,
odgovaram na pozive, pišem poruke,
00:50
and maybe uploading some pictures
9
34669
2352
i možda dodajem neke fotografije
00:52
about this awesome barbecue.
10
37021
3518
ovog fantastičnog roštilja.
00:56
So someone tells us the story about supertaskers,
11
40539
4034
Priča se o ljudima koji rade
mnogo stvari istovremeno,
01:00
so this two percent of people who are able
12
44573
3425
to su dva procenta ljudi koji su sposobni
01:03
to control multitasking environment.
13
47998
4136
da se snađu u multitasking okruženju.
01:08
But what about ourselves, and what about our reality?
14
52134
4604
Ali šta je sa nama samima, i šta je sa
našom stvarnošću?
01:12
When's the last time you really enjoyed
15
56738
2301
Kada ste poslednji put zaista uživali
01:14
just the voice of your friend?
16
59039
3270
samo u glasu vašeg prijatelja?
01:18
So this is a project I'm working on,
17
62309
3256
Tako da, ovo je projekat na kojem radim,
01:21
and this is a series of front covers
18
65565
5044
i ovo je serija prednjih strana
01:26
to downgrade our super, hyper —
19
70609
4507
koji svode naše super, hiper -
01:31
(Laughter) (Applause)
20
75116
4917
(Smijeh) (Aplauz)
01:35
to downgrade our super, hyper-mobile phones
21
80033
2808
koji svode naše super, hiper - mobilne telefone
01:38
into the essence of their function.
22
82841
3031
na suštinu njihove upotrebe.
01:41
Another example: Have you ever been to Venice?
23
85872
2777
Još jedan primjer:
Da li ste nekada bili u Veneciji?
01:44
How beautiful it is to lose ourselves in these little streets
24
88649
4313
Kako je divno izgubiti se u ovim uličicama
01:48
on the island.
25
92962
2383
ostrva.
01:51
But our multitasking reality is pretty different,
26
95345
3442
Ali naša multitasking stvarnost
je prilično drugačija,
01:54
and full of tons of information.
27
98787
4272
i sadrži tonu informacija.
01:58
So what about something like that
28
103059
2537
Pa, šta je sa nečim ovakvim
02:01
to rediscover our sense of adventure?
29
105596
4167
što bi nam ponovo otkrilo osjećaj avanture?
02:05
I know that it could sound pretty weird to speak about mono
30
109763
3273
Znam da bi bilo prilično čudno
govoriti o jednoj stvari
02:08
when the number of possibilities is so huge,
31
113036
4551
kada je broj mogućnosti ogroman,
02:13
but I push you to consider the option of
32
117587
4599
ali ja želim da vas natjeram
da razmotrite opcije
02:18
focusing on just one task,
33
122186
3117
fokusirajući se na samo jedan zadatak,
02:21
or maybe turning your digital senses totally off.
34
125303
5957
ili možda da potpuno
isključite digitalne osjećaje.
02:27
So nowadays, everyone could produce his mono product.
35
131260
6016
U današnje vrijeme, svako može
da proizvede svoj mono-proizvod
02:33
Why not? So find your monotask spot
36
137276
3744
Zašto da ne?
Pronađite svoju monotask oblast
02:36
within the multitasking world.
37
141020
2584
u multitask svijetu.
02:39
Thank you.
38
143604
1533
Hvala vam.
02:41
