Ayah Bdeir: Building blocks that blink, beep and teach

Prevoditelj: Jelena Horvat Recezent: Mislav Ante Omazić - EFZG

This may sound strange,

Ovo će možda zvučati čudno,

but I'm a big fan of the concrete block.

ali ja sam velika obožavateljica betonskih blokova.

The first concrete blocks were manufactured in 1868

Prvi betonski blok proizveden je 1868.

with a very simple idea:

s vrlo jednostavnom idejom:

modules made of cement of a fixed measurement

moduli izrađeni od cementa određenih dimenzija

that fit together.

koji pašu zajedno.

Very quickly concrete blocks became

Ubrzo su betonski blokovi postali

the most-used construction unit in the world.

najčešće korištena gradivna jedinica na svijetu.

They enabled us to to build things that were larger than us,

Omogućili su nam da gradimo stvari koje su veće od nas,

buildings, bridges,

zgrade, mostove,

one brick at a time.

blok po blok.

Essentially concrete blocks had become

U suštini betonski blokovi su postali

the building block of our time.

gradivni blokovi našeg vremena.

Almost a hundred years later in 1947,

Gotovo stotinu godina poslije, 1947.,

LEGO came up with this.

LEGO je smislio ovo.

It was called the Automatic Binding Brick.

Zvalo se automatski spojive kocke.

And in a few short years,

I za vrlo kratko vrijeme

LEGO bricks took place in every household.

LEGO-kocke bile su u svakom kućanstvu.

It's estimated that over 400 billion bricks have been produced --

Procjenjuje se kako je proizvedeno više od 400 milijardi kocki --

or 75 bricks for every person on the planet.

ili 75 kocki za svaku osobu na Planetu.

You don't have to be an engineer

Ne morate biti inženjer

to make beautiful houses, beautiful bridges, beautiful buildings.

da biste gradili prelijepe kuće, prelijepe mostove, prelijepe građevine.

LEGO made it accessible.

LEGO je to učinio dostupnim.

LEGO has essentially taken the concrete block, the building block of the world,

LEGO je u biti uzeo betonski blok, gradivni blok svijeta,

and made it into the building block

i učinio ga gradivnim blokom

of our imagination.

naše mašte.

Meanwhile the exact same year,

U međuvremenu, iste godine,

at Bell Labs the next revolution was about to be announced,

u laboratoriju Bell Labs bit će objavljena sljedeća revolucija,

the next building block.

sljedeći gradivni blok.

The transistor was a small plastic unit

Tranzistor je bio mala plastična jedinica

that would take us from a world

koja će nas odvesti iz svijeta

of static bricks piled on top of each other

statičnih kocki poslaganih jedna na drugu

to a world where everything was interactive.

u svijet gdje je sve interaktivno.

Like the concrete block,

Kao i betonski blok

the transistor allows you to build

tranzistor vam omogućava da gradite

much larger, more complex circuits, one brick at a time.

mnogo veće, mnogo složenije sklopove, jedan po jedan.

But there's a main difference:

Ali ovdje postoji važna razlika:

The transistor was only for experts.

tranzistor je bio samo za stručnjake.

I personally don't accept this,

Osobno to ne prihvaćam,

that the building block of our time

da su gradivni blokovi našeg vremena

is reserved for experts,

rezervirani samo za stručnjake,

so I decided to change that.

pa sam odlučila to promijeniti.

Eight years ago when I was at the Media Lab,

Prije osam godina kad sam bila u laboratoriju Media Lab,

I started exploring this idea

počela sam istraživati ovu ideju

of how to put the power of engineers

o tome kako staviti snagu inženjera

in the hands of artists and designers.

u ruke umjetnika i dizajnera.

A few years ago I started developing littleBits.

Prije nekoliko godina počela sam razvijati 'littleBits'.

Let me show you how they work.

Dozvolite da vam pokažem kako funkcioniraju.

LittleBits are electronic modules

LittleBits su elektronički moduli

with each one specific function.

svaki sa svojom specifičnom funkcijom.

They're pre-engineered

Oni su unaprijed projektirani

to be light, sound,

da budu svjetlo, zvuk,

motors and sensors.

motori i senzori.

And the best part about it

I najbolji dio u vezi s njima

is they snap together with magnets.

je da se spajaju pomoću magneta.

So you can't put them the wrong way.

Tako da ih ne možete pogrešno spojiti.

The bricks are color-coded.

Ovi blokovi su kodirani po boji.

Green is output, blue is power,

Zelena je izlaz, plava je snaga,

pink is input and orange is wire.

ružičasta je ulaz, a narančasta žica.

So all you need to do is snap a blue to a green

Dakle, sve što trebate učiniti je to da spojite plavo sa zelenim

and very quickly you can start making larger circuits.

i vrlo brzo možete početi izrađivati veće sklopove.

You put a blue to a green,

Spojite plavo sa zelenim

you can make light.

i imate svjetlo.

You can put a knob in between

Između možete staviti dugme

and now you've made a little dimmer.

i sada ste napravili mali zatamljivač.

Switch out the knob

Zamijenite dugme

for a pulse module,

za modulator pulsiranja,

which is here,

koji je ovdje,

and now you've made a little blinker.

i sada ste napravili mali žmigavac.

Add this buzzer

Dodajte ovo zujalo

for some extra punch

za malo dodatnog poticaja

and you've created a noise machine.

i stvorili ste bučni stroj.

I'm going to stop that.

Prestat ću s tim.

So beyond simple play,

Dakle, iza jednostavne igre

littleBits are actually pretty powerful.

littleBits su zapravo prilično snažni.

Instead of having to program, to wire, to solder,

Umjesto da morate programirati, postavljati žice, lemiti,

littleBits allow you to program

littleBits vam omogućava da programirate

using very simple intuitive gestures.

koristeći vrlo jednostavne intuitivne kretnje.

So to make this blink faster or slower,

Kako bi ovo žmigalo brže ili sporije

you would just turn this knob

trebate samo okrenuti ovo dugme

and basically make it pulse faster or slower.

i zapravo učiniti da pulsira brže ili sporije.

The idea behind littleBits

Ideja koja se krije iza littleBitsa

is that it's a growing library.

je da je to rastuća knjižnica.

We want to make every single interaction in the world

Želimo da svaka interakcija na svijetu funkcionira po principu

into a ready-to-use brick.

bloka spremnog za upotrebu.

Lights, sounds, solar panels, motors --

Svjetla, zvukovi, solarni paneli, motori --

everything should be accessible.

sve bi trebalo biti dostupno.

We've been giving littleBits to kids and seeing them play with them.

Dali smo littleBits djeci i gledali kako se igraju njima.

And it's been an incredible experience.

Bilo je to nevjerojatno iskustvo.

The nicest thing is how they start to understand

Najljepše od svega je kako ona počinju shvaćati

the electronics around them from everyday

elektroniku koja je oko njih svaki dan

that they don't learn at schools.

o čemu ne uče u školi.

For example, how a nightlight works,

Na primjer, kako radi noćno svjetlo,

or why an elevator door stays open,

ili zašto vrata lifta ostaju otvorena,

or how an iPod responds to touch.

ili kako iPod reagira na dodir.

We've also been taking littleBits to design schools.

Donijeli smo littleBits i u školu za dizajn.

So for example, we've had designers

Tako su se, na primjer dizajneri

with no experience with electronics whatsoever

koji nisu imali nikakvih iskustava s elektronikom

start to play with littleBits as a material.

počeli igrati s littleBits kao materijalom.

Here you see, with felt and paper water bottles,

Ovdje možete vidjeti s filcom i papirnatim bocama za vodu

we have Geordie making ...

Geordie izrađuje...

(Clanging)

(Zveckanje)

(Buzzing)

(Zujanje)

A few weeks ago we took littleBits to RISD

Prije nekoliko tjedana donijeli smo littleBits u RISD

and gave them to some designers

i dali ih dizajnerima

with no experience in engineering whatsoever --

koji uopće nisu imali iskustava s inženjerstvom --

just cardboard, wood and paper -- and told them "Make something."

samo karton, drvo i papir -- i rekli smo im da 'učine nešto'.

Here's an example of a project they made,

Ovdje je, na primjer projekt koji su napravili

a motion-activated confetti canon ball.

ispaljivanje loptica konfeta koje se aktivira pokretom.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

But wait, this is actually my favorite project.

No čekajte, ovo je zapravo moj omiljeni projekt.

It's a lobster made of playdough

To je jastog od tijesta za igru

that's afraid of the dark.

koji se boji mraka.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

To these non-engineers, littleBits became another material,

Za ove ne-inženjere littleBits je postao još jedan materijal,

electronics became just another material.

elektronika je postala samo još jedan materijal.

And we want to make this material accessible to everyone.

I želimo da ovaj materijal bude dostupan svakome.

So littleBits is open-source.

Tako da je littleBits otvoreni projekt.

You can go on the website, download all the design files, make them yourself.

Možete posjetiti internetsku stranicu, pohraniti sve potrebne datoteke i sami ih izraditi.

We want to encourage a world

Želimo potaknuti svijet

of creators, of inventors, of contributors,

kreatora, izumitelja, suradnika

because this world that we live in,

zato što je svijet u kojem živimo,

this interactive world, is ours.

ovaj interaktivan svijet, naš.

So go ahead and start inventing.

Dakle, samo naprijed i počnite izmišljati.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)
