In the seventies七十年代, it was punk朋克 music音乐
that drove开车 the whole整个 generation.
1
4680
4176
七十年代,影响了一代人的,是朋克音乐。
00:20
In the eighties八十年代, it was probably大概 money.
2
8880
2456
80年代,也许是金钱吧。
00:23
But for my generation of people,
3
11360
2336
而对我这代人来说,
00:25
software软件 is the interface接口
to our imagination想像力 and our world世界.
4
13720
4816
软件就是想象和世界的接口。
00:30
And that means手段 that we need
5
18560
1696
这意味着我们需要
00:32
a radically根本, radically根本
more diverse多种 set of people
6
20280
3256
更多更多各式各样的人
00:35
to build建立 those products制品,
7
23560
1776
来建造这些产品,
00:37
to not see computers电脑 as mechanical机械
and lonely孤独 and boring无聊 and magic魔法,
8
25360
4936
这些人不会把电脑视作神奇却呆板 、
孤独又无趣的东西,
00:42
to see them as things
that they can tinker修补匠
9
30320
1976
而是把电脑看作是可以摆弄的,
00:44
and turn around and twist,
and so forth向前.
10
32320
2440
可以改进的等等。
00:47
My personal个人 journey旅程 into the world世界
of programming程序设计 and technology技术
11
35720
3776
我开始编程,初涉科技世界
00:51
started开始 at the tender投标 age年龄 of 14.
12
39520
2976
是在稚嫩的十四岁
00:54
I had this mad teenage青少年 crush粉碎
on an older旧的 man,
13
42520
4096
那时,我疯狂迷恋着
一位年长男士,
00:58
and the older旧的 man in question
just happened发生 to be
14
46640
2336
这位男士正是
时任美国副总统的
阿尔·戈尔(AL Gore)先生。
01:01
the then Vice President主席
of the United联合的 States状态, Mr先生. Al Gore血块.
15
49000
4416
01:05
And I did what every一切 single
teenage青少年 girl女孩 would want to do.
16
53440
3056
而我做了每个青春期女生
都想做的事。
01:08
I wanted to somehow不知何故
express表现 all of this love,
17
56520
2216
我想要表达自己对他的爱,
01:10
so I built内置 him a website网站, it's over here.
18
58760
2576
因此,我为他建立了一个网站。
就是这个
01:13
And in 2001, there was no Tumblrtumblr,
19
61360
2936
那是2001年,彼时没有Tumblr,
01:16
there was no FacebookFacebook的,
there was no PinterestPinterest的.
20
64319
2257
没有Facebook,
也没有Pinterest
01:18
So I needed需要 to learn学习 to code
21
66600
2136
因此我需要学习编程
01:20
in order订购 to express表现
all of this longing渴望 and loving爱心.
22
68760
3376
来表达我所有的憧憬和爱慕。
01:24
And that is how programming程序设计
started开始 for me.
23
72160
2336
这就是我如何开始编程的故事。
01:26
It started开始 as a means手段 of self-expression自我表现.
24
74520
2536
最初它于我而言,
是一种表达自我的方式。
01:29
Just like when I was smaller,
I would use crayons蜡笔 and legos积木.
25
77080
3616
就像我小的时候,
会用蜡笔和乐高积木来表达。
01:32
And when I was older旧的, I would use
guitar吉他 lessons教训 and theater剧院 plays播放.
26
80720
4600
长大些后,会用
吉他课和戏剧表演,来表达自己。
01:37
But then, there were other things
to get excited兴奋 about,
27
85920
2976
但那时,还有其它很多让人兴奋的东西,
01:40
like poetry诗歌 and knitting针织 socks袜子
28
88920
2416
比如诗歌和织袜子,
01:43
and conjugating共轭 French法国 irregular不规则 verbs动词
29
91360
3296
总结法语动词变位,
01:46
and coming未来 up with make-believe让我相信 worlds世界
30
94680
1856
构建虚幻世界,
01:48
and Bertrand贝特朗 Russell罗素 and his philosophy哲学.
31
96560
3136
还有伯特兰·罗素(Bertrand Russell)以及他的哲学。
01:51
And I started开始 to be one of those people
32
99720
1896
然后,我也开始和很多人一样,
01:53
who felt that computers电脑
are boring无聊 and technical技术 and lonely孤独.
33
101640
3680
认为计算机既无趣,又专业
还孤单。
01:58
Here's这里的 what I think today今天.
34
106120
1816
现在,我是这样想的。
01:59
Little girls女孩 don't know that they
are not supposed应该 to like computers电脑.
35
107960
4056
小女孩们并不知道自己被认为是
不该喜欢电脑的。
02:04
Little girls女孩 are amazing惊人.
36
112040
1256
小女孩们很厉害。
02:05
They are really, really good
at concentrating集中 on things
37
113320
4136
她们非常非常擅长于集中注意力
02:09
and being存在 exact精确 and they ask
amazing惊人 questions问题 like,
38
117480
3256
做事精确,她们还会提出
很多有意思的问题,比如
02:12
"What?" and "Why?"
and "How?" and "What if?"
39
120760
2576
“什么?”,“为什么?”,
“如何?” 以及“如果?”
02:15
And they don't know that they
are not supposed应该 to like computers电脑.
40
123360
3680
她们并不知道自己被看作
不应该会喜欢电脑。
02:19
It's the parents父母 who do.
41
127760
1936
是她们的父母会这样想。
02:21
It's us parents父母 who feel
42
129720
1295
我们的父母认为
02:23
like computer电脑 science科学
is this esoteric深奥, weird奇怪的 science科学 discipline学科
43
131039
5097
计算机科学是如此
深奥晦涩又稀奇古怪的领域
02:28
that only belongs属于 to the mystery神秘 makers制造商.
44
136160
3656
专属于那些制造奥秘的人
02:31
That it's almost几乎 as far removed去除
from everyday每天 life
45
139840
2736
它和日常生活的距离之远,
02:34
as, say, nuclear physics物理.
46
142600
2536
就像遥不可及的核物理一般。
02:37
And they are partly部分地 right about that.
47
145160
2456
他们的想法也有些道理。
02:39
There's a lot of syntax句法
and controls控制 and data数据 structures结构
48
147640
3496
编程中有那么多语法,控制项和数据结构。
02:43
and algorithms算法 and practices做法,
49
151160
2656
各种算法、实践
02:45
protocols协议 and paradigms范式 in programming程序设计.
50
153840
2576
以及协议和范式。
02:48
And we as a community社区,
we've我们已经 made制作 computers电脑 smaller and smaller.
51
156440
4296
我们共同将电脑做得越来越小
02:52
We've我们已经 built内置 layers and layers
of abstraction抽象化 on top最佳 of each other
52
160760
4536
我们建立了层层叠叠的抽象概念
在人与机器之间
02:57
between之间 the man and the machine
53
165320
1496
02:58
to the point that we no longer
have any idea理念 how computers电脑 work
54
166840
3216
直到我们都不再了解电脑
到底是如何工作的
03:02
or how to talk to them.
55
170080
2176
以及应当如何与之沟通
03:04
And we do teach our kids孩子
how the human人的 body身体 works作品,
56
172280
2776
我们会教给我们的孩子,
人体是如何工作的
03:07
we teach them how
the combustion燃烧 engine发动机 functions功能
57
175080
3096
教给他们内燃机的工作原理
03:10
and we even tell them
that if you want to really be an astronaut宇航员
58
178200
3016
我们甚至会告诉孩子,
如果你真想要成为一名宇航员
03:13
you can become成为 one.
59
181240
1456
你会做到的
03:14
But when the kid孩子 comes to us and asks,
60
182720
2176
可当我们的孩子跑来问我们
03:16
"So, what is a bubble泡沫 sort分类 algorithm算法?"
61
184920
2736
“那么,什么是冒泡排序法?”
03:19
Or, "How does the computer电脑 know
what happens发生 when I press 'play'玩,'
62
187680
4416
或者:“当我按下执行键,电脑怎么知道要做什么?”
03:24
how does it know which哪一个 video视频 to show显示?"
63
192120
1856
“它怎么知道放哪一个视频?”
03:26
Or, "Linda琳达, is Internet互联网 a place地点?"
64
194000
2576
又或者,“琳达, 网络是一个地方吗?”
03:28
We adults成年人, we grow增长 oddly奇怪 silent无声.
65
196600
2720
我们成年人,会异常沉默
03:32
"It's magic魔法," some of us say.
66
200400
2456
有些人会说:“它有神奇的力量。”
03:34
"It's too complicated复杂," the others其他 say.
67
202880
2720
还有些人会说:“这太复杂了。”
03:38
Well, it's neither也不.
68
206520
1496
嗯,其实都不是。
03:40
It's not magic魔法 and it's not complicated复杂.
69
208040
2576
它并不神奇也并不复杂
03:42
It all just happened发生
really, really, really fast快速.
70
210640
3616
只是这一切发生得十分,非常,特别快
03:46
Computer电脑 scientists科学家们 built内置
these amazing惊人, beautiful美丽 machines,
71
214280
2896
计算机专家制造了这些美好又奇妙的机器。
03:49
but they made制作 them
very, very foreign国外 to us,
72
217200
2416
却又让我们对它们十分陌生
03:51
and also the language语言 we speak说话
to the computers电脑
73
219640
2216
电脑对我们沟通的语言也同样如此
03:53
so that we don't know
how to speak说话 to the computers电脑 anymore
74
221880
3016
因此,离开了精美的用户界面。
我们便不知道如何与电脑交流
03:56
without our fancy幻想 user用户 interfaces接口.
75
224920
2496
这也是为什么,没人发现
03:59
And that's why no one recognized认可
76
227440
1576
04:01
that when I was conjugating共轭
French法国 irregular不规则 verbs动词,
77
229040
2696
当我研究法语动词变位时
04:03
I was actually其实 practicing
my pattern模式 recognition承认 skills技能.
78
231760
3256
实际上,我锻炼的是自己的模式识别技能
04:07
And when I was excited兴奋 about knitting针织,
79
235040
2296
当我十分开心地织袜子时,
04:09
I actually其实 was following以下
a sequence序列 of symbolic象征 commands命令
80
237360
3536
我实际上正是遵循一串符号指令,
04:12
that included包括 loops循环 inside of them.
81
240920
1736
包含了众多循环命令。
04:14
And that Bertrand贝特朗 Russell's罗素 lifelong终身 quest寻求
82
242680
2416
伯特兰•罗素终其一生,追求
04:17
to find an exact精确 language语言
between之间 English英语 and mathematics数学
83
245120
3976
在英语与数学中,找到一种准确的语言
04:21
found发现 its home inside of a computer电脑.
84
249120
2320
这一追求,最终在电脑中找到归宿
04:24
I was a programmer程序员, but no one knew知道 it.
85
252080
2200
我那时就已然是个程序师,但没人知道。
04:27
The kids孩子 of today今天, they tap龙头, swipe刷卡
and pinch their way through通过 the world世界.
86
255080
4456
如今的孩子们,终日把玩电脑
04:31
But unless除非 we give them tools工具
to build建立 with computers电脑,
87
259560
3216
但除非我们给他们工具,让他们能够利用电脑构建世界
04:34
we are raising提高 only consumers消费者
instead代替 of creators创作者.
88
262800
3936
我们培养的就只是消费者,而不是创造者。
04:38
This whole整个 quest寻求
led me to this little girl女孩.
89
266760
2536
这一追求过程让我想到这个小女孩
04:41
Her name名称 is Ruby红宝石, she is six years年份 old.
90
269320
2376
她叫Ruby(也是一种编程语言的名字),六岁
04:43
She is completely全然 fearless不怕,
imaginative想像的 and a little bit bossy跋扈.
91
271720
4096
她无所畏惧,富有想象力,又有那么点强势
04:47
And every一切 time
I would run into a problem问题
92
275840
2456
每当我处理问题时
04:50
in trying to teach
myself programming程序设计 like,
93
278320
2256
每当我学习编程,学习诸如
04:52
"What is object-oriented面向对象 design设计
or what is garbage垃圾 collection采集?",
94
280600
3976
何为面对对象设计?何为碎片帐集?
04:56
I would try to imagine想像 how a six-year-old六十岁
little girl女孩 would explain说明 the problem问题.
95
284600
4416
我都会想象一个六岁的女孩会如何解释这些问题
05:01
And I wrote a book about her
and I illustrated插图 it
96
289040
2656
我为她写了一本书,并加以说明
05:03
and the things
Ruby红宝石 taught me go like this.
97
291720
2376
Ruby教会我
05:06
Ruby红宝石 taught me that you're
not supposed应该 to be afraid害怕
98
294120
2456
“不要害怕床下的那些虫子“
05:08
of the bugs虫子 under your bed.
99
296600
1376
05:10
And even the biggest最大 of the problems问题
100
298000
2056
还有,“即使再大的问题
05:12
are a group of tiny problems问题
stuck卡住 together一起.
101
300080
3496
也是由众多小问题构成的罢了“
05:15
And Ruby红宝石 also introduced介绍
me to her friends朋友,
102
303600
2736
Ruby还向我引荐了她的朋友们
05:18
the colorful华美 side of the Internet互联网 culture文化.
103
306360
2896
也就是网络文化多彩的一面
05:21
She has friends朋友 like the Snow Leopard,
104
309280
1856
比如雪豹(OS X操作系统的一个版本)
05:23
who is beautiful美丽 but doesn't want
to play with the other kids孩子.
105
311160
2936
它很漂亮,但不喜欢和别的小朋友玩。
05:26
And she has friends朋友 like the green绿色 robots机器人
that are really friendly友善 but super messy.
106
314120
4616
还有绿色机器人,也是Ruby的朋友,
十分友好,却很散乱
05:30
And she has friends朋友 like LinuxLinux的 the penguin企鹅
107
318760
2176
她还有朋友,比如Linux 企鹅,
05:32
who's谁是 really ruthlessly无情 efficient高效,
but somewhat有些 hard to understand理解.
108
320960
3656
十分冷酷高效,却有些难搞
05:36
And idealistic理想主义 foxes狐狸, and so on.
109
324640
2240
还有理想主义的狐狸等等
05:39
In Ruby'sRuby的 world世界, you learn学习
technology技术 through通过 play.
110
327880
3656
在Ruby的世界,你通过玩来学习科技
05:43
And, for instance, computers电脑
are really good at repeating重复 stuff东东,
111
331560
3216
比如,电脑十分擅长做重复工作
05:46
so the way Ruby红宝石 would teach
loops循环 goes like this.
112
334800
2896
因此Ruby会教我这样用循环
05:49
This is Ruby'sRuby的 favorite喜爱 dance舞蹈 move移动,
it goes, "Clap, clap, stomp跺脚, stomp跺脚
113
337720
3376
这是Ruby最喜欢的舞蹈动作
像这样:
“拍,拍,踏,踏”
05:53
clap, clap and jump."
114
341120
1496
“拍,拍,跳”
05:54
And you learn学习 counter计数器 loops循环
by repeating重复 that four times.
115
342640
4016
这样重复了四遍,你就学会了counter循环
05:58
And you learn学习 while loops循环
by repeating重复 that sequence序列
116
346680
2816
同样,当我一只脚站立,重复这个排列时,
你又学会了 while循环
06:01
while I'm standing常设 on one leg.
117
349520
1776
06:03
And you learn学习 until直到 loops循环
by repeating重复 that sequence序列
118
351320
3296
而当你一直重复这个排列,直到惹怒了老妈,
你就知道什么是until循环了
06:06
until直到 mom妈妈 gets得到 really mad.
119
354640
2056
06:08
(Laughter笑声)
120
356720
1016
(笑)
06:09
And most of all, you learn学习
that there are no ready准备 answers答案.
121
357760
3720
最主要的是,你明白了,
没有现成答案
06:14
When coming未来 up with the curriculum课程
for Ruby'sRuby的 world世界,
122
362320
2736
当我要设计一个介绍Ruby世界的课程时
06:17
I needed需要 to really ask the kids孩子
how they see the world世界
123
365080
3296
我想要真正问问孩子们,
他们是如何看待这个世界的
06:20
and what kind of questions问题 they have
124
368400
2016
以及他们有什么样问题。
06:22
and I would organize组织
play testing测试 sessions会议.
125
370440
2080
然后我会安排游戏测试环节
06:25
I would start开始 by showing展示 the kids孩子
these four pictures图片.
126
373360
2560
刚开始,我向孩子们展示这四幅图
06:28
I would show显示 them a picture图片 of a car汽车,
127
376480
2336
我给他们看的画上有辆车
06:30
a grocery杂货 store商店, a dog and a toilet厕所.
128
378840
2416
有家杂货铺,一条狗和一个马桶
06:33
And I would ask, "Which哪一个 one of these
do you think is a computer电脑?"
129
381280
3240
接着我问他们:“你们觉得这些东西中,哪样是电脑?”
06:37
And the kids孩子 would be
very conservative保守 and go,
130
385480
2736
孩子们会十分谨慎
06:40
"None没有 of these is a computer电脑.
131
388240
1776
说:“哈,这里面才没有电脑呢,
06:42
I know what a computer电脑 is:
132
390040
1656
我可知道电脑长啥样哦!
06:43
it's that glowing泛着 box
133
391720
1336
就是那个会发光的盒子
06:45
in front面前 of which哪一个 mom妈妈 or dad
spends way too much time."
134
393080
3616
就是爸妈老花时间玩的那个东西“
06:48
But then we would talk
135
396720
1496
之后,我们会讨论
06:50
and we would discover发现
that actually其实, a car汽车 is a computer电脑,
136
398240
2816
我们会发现,原来,车也是一台电脑
06:53
it has a navigation导航 system系统 inside of it.
137
401080
2376
它里面有导航系统
06:55
And a dog -- a dog
might威力 not be a computer电脑,
138
403480
2776
还有狗,狗可能不是台电脑
06:58
but it has a collar
139
406280
1216
但他带着个项圈,
06:59
and the collar might威力 have
a computer电脑 inside of it.
140
407520
2616
这个项圈里可能有电脑
07:02
And grocery杂货 stores商店, they have
so many许多 different不同 kinds of computers电脑,
141
410160
3456
杂货店里,就更是有很多种电脑了
07:05
like the cashier出纳员 system系统
and the burglar窃贼 alarms警报.
142
413640
3416
有收银机,还有防盗器
07:09
And kids孩子, you know what?
143
417080
1336
孩子们,你们知道吗
07:10
In Japan日本, toilets洗手间 are computers电脑
144
418440
2536
在日本,马桶也是电脑呢
07:13
and there's even hackers黑客 who hack them.
145
421000
1896
甚至有黑客攻击它呢
07:14
(Laughter笑声)
146
422920
1776
(笑)
07:16
And we go further进一步
147
424720
1216
而后,更进一步。
07:17
and I give them these little stickers贴纸
with an on/off button按键 on them.
148
425960
3216
我给了他们一些贴纸,上面有开关按钮
07:21
And I tell the kids孩子,
"Today今天 you have this magic魔法 ability能力
149
429200
3616
然后我告诉孩子们:“今天你们有魔力,
07:24
to make anything in this room房间
into a computer电脑."
150
432840
3616
能把房间里任何东西都变成电脑。“
07:28
And again, the kids孩子 go,
151
436480
1336
结果,孩子们又说
07:29
"Sounds声音 really hard,
I don't know the right answer回答 for this."
152
437840
2896
“听起来好难的样子,我不知道正确答案呀”
07:32
But I tell them, "Don't worry担心,
153
440760
1576
但我告诉他们:“别怕,
07:34
your parents父母 don't know
the right answer回答, either.
154
442360
2576
你爸妈也不知道正确答案。
07:36
They've他们已经 just started开始
to hear about this thing
155
444960
2216
他们才刚听说这些东西
07:39
called The Internet互联网 of Things.
156
447200
2216
这个叫做网络的玩意儿
07:41
But you kids孩子,
you are going to be the ones那些
157
449440
1976
但你们这些孩子,
你们会居住在这样一个世界
07:43
who are really going to live生活 up in a world世界
where everything is a computer电脑."
158
451440
4376
周围所有东西都是电脑。”
07:47
And then I had this little girl女孩
who came来了 to me
159
455840
2216
然后,有个小女孩走向我
07:50
and took a bicycle自行车 lamp
160
458080
1296
拿着一个自行车灯
07:51
and she said, "This bicycle自行车 lamp,
if it were a computer电脑,
161
459400
4216
说:“这个自行车灯,如果是台电脑的话,
07:55
it would change更改 colors颜色."
162
463640
2016
它就会变色“
07:57
And I said, "That's a really good idea理念,
what else其他 could it do?"
163
465680
3016
我说:“这想法好棒啊,那它还能做什么吗?”
08:00
And she thinks and she thinks,
164
468720
1736
小女孩想了又想
08:02
and she goes, "If this bicycle自行车 lamp
were a computer电脑,
165
470480
4016
她说:“如果这个自行车灯是台电脑,
08:06
we could go on a biking骑自行车 trip
with my father父亲
166
474520
2736
我们就能和我爸爸一起去骑车旅行
08:09
and we would sleep睡觉 in a tent帐篷
167
477280
1616
在帐篷里睡觉
08:10
and this biking骑自行车 lamp
could also be a movie电影 projector放映机."
168
478920
3840
这个自行车灯也可以变成一个电影放映机。”
08:15
And that's the moment时刻 I'm looking for,
169
483640
1960
这就是我想要的时刻!
08:18
the moment时刻 when the kid孩子 realizes实现
170
486400
1576
在这一时刻,孩子们意识到
08:20
that the world世界
is definitely无疑 not ready准备 yet然而,
171
488000
2376
世界还远没有妥善到位
08:22
that a really awesome真棒 way
of making制造 the world世界 more ready准备
172
490400
2976
想要让世界变得更完善,有一个好方法
08:25
is by building建造 technology技术
173
493400
2216
就是开发科技。
08:27
and that each one of us
can be a part部分 of that change更改.
174
495640
2760
我们每个人都可能成为改变中的一部分。
08:31
Final最后 story故事, we also built内置 a computer电脑.
175
499200
3056

and the helpful有帮助 RAM内存 and ROM只读存储器
176
502280
4736
我们知道了发号司令的中央处理器(CPU),
和十分有用的随机存储器(RAM),
以及帮助电脑记忆一切的只读存储器(ROM)
08:39
that help it remember记得 things.
177
507040
1416
08:40
And after we've我们已经 assembled组装
our computer电脑 together一起,
178
508480
2936
之后,我们将电脑组装起来,
08:43
we also design设计 an application应用 for it.
179
511440
2656
为它设计了程序
08:46
And my favorite喜爱 story故事 is this little boy男孩,
180
514120

完全着迷于他那小小的,纸质电脑。
08:58
because you see, he's built内置 his own拥有
185
526680

09:00
intergalactic星系间 planetary行星
navigation导航 application应用.
186
528720
4296
