Adam Ostrow: After your final status update

Translator: Snežana Stone Reviewer: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

By the end of this year,

Ob koncu tega leta

there'll be nearly a billion people on this planet

bo na tem planetu milijarda ljudi,

that actively use social networking sites.

ki aktivno uporablja spletne strani socialnih omrežij.

The one thing that all of them have in common

Vsem je skupno to,

is that they're going to die.

da bodo umrli.

While that might be a somewhat morbid thought,

To je morda malce morbidna misel,

I think it has some really profound implications

a mislim, da ima nekaj globljih pomenov,

that are worth exploring.

ki jih je vredno raziskati.

What first got me thinking about this

Prvič sem začel razmišljati o tem,

was a blog post authored earlier this year by Derek K. Miller,

ko sem prebral objavo na blogu Dereka K. Millerja,

who was a science and technology journalist

znanstvenega in tehnološkega novinarja,

who died of cancer.

ki je umrl zaradi raka.

And what Miller did was have his family and friends write a post

Miller je prosil družino in prijatelje,

that went out shortly after he died.

da po njegovi smrti objavijo članek.

Here's what he wrote in starting that out.

Začel ga je takole:

He said, "Here it is. I'm dead,

"Pa smo tam. Mrtev sem

and this is my last post to my blog.

in to je moja zadnja objava na blogu.

In advance, I asked that once my body finally shut down

Svojo družino in prijatelje sem prosil,

from the punishments of my cancer,

da objavijo moje vnaprej pripravljeno sporočilo,

then my family and friends publish this prepared message I wrote --

ko moje telo podleže posledicam raka.

the first part of the process

To je prva faza v procesu

of turning this from an active website to an archive."

spreminjanja te aktivne spletne strani v arhiv."

Now, while as a journalist,

Ker je bil novinar,

Miller's archive may have been better written

je bil Millerjev arhiv morda bolje napisan

and more carefully curated than most,

in bolj skrbno organiziran od večine,

the fact of the matter is that all of us today

a dejstvo je, da v današnjem času

are creating an archive

vsi ustvarjamo arhiv,

that's something completely different

ki je popolnoma drugačen

than anything that's been created

od vsega, kar so ustvarile

by any previous generation.

prejšnje generacije.

Consider a few stats for a moment.

Poglejmo nekaj statističnih podatkov.

Right now there are 48 hours of video

48 ur video posnetkov

being uploaded to YouTube every single minute.

je naloženih na YouTube vsako minuto.

There are 200 million Tweets being posted every day.

Vsak dan je objavljenih 200 milijonov tweetov.

And the average Facebook user

Povprečen uporabnik Facebooka

is creating 90 pieces of content each month.

objavi 90 prispevkov vsak mesec.

So when you think about your parents or your grandparents,

Pomislite na svoje starše ali stare starše.

at best they may have created

Morda so posneli

some photos or home videos,

nekaj fotografij ali video posnetkov,

or a diary that lives in a box somewhere.

morda so pisali dnevnik, ki živi v kakšni škatli.

But today we're all creating this incredibly rich digital archive

Danes pa vsi ustvarjamo neverjetno bogat digitalni arhiv,

that's going to live in the cloud indefinitely,

ki bo živel v računalniškem oblaku

years after we're gone.

še leta po naši smrti.

And I think that's going to create some incredibly intriguing opportunities

Mislim, da bo to ustvarilo nekaj neverjetno mikavnih možnosti

for technologists.

za tehnologe.

Now to be clear, I'm a journalist and not a technologist,

Da smo si na jasnem, sem novinar in ne tehnolog,

so what I'd like to do briefly

zato bi rad na kratko naslikal,

is paint a picture

kakšni bosta videti

of what the present and the future are going to look like.

sedanjost in prihodnost.

Now we're already seeing some services

Že vidimo nekatere servise,

that are designed to let us decide

ki nam omogočajo, da se odločimo,

what happens to our online profile and our social media accounts

kaj se bo zgodilo z našim spletnim profilom in uporabniškim računom

after we die.

po naši smrti.

One of them actually, fittingly enough,

Eden izmed njih me je našel,

found me when I checked into a deli

ko sem preko aplikacije FourSquare označil,

at a restaurant in New York

da se nahajam

on foursquare.

v restavraciji v New Yorku.

(Recording) Adam Ostrow: Hello.

Prosim?

Death: Adam?

Adam?

AO: Yeah.

Ja.

Death: Death can catch you anywhere, anytime,

Smrt te lahko ujame kjerkoli, kadarkoli,

even at the Organic.

celo v bio restavraciji.

AO: Who is this?

Kdo je to?

Death: Go to ifidie.net

Pojdi na ifidie.net,

before it's too late.

preden bo prepozno.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Adam Ostrow: Kind of creepy, right?

Malce grozljivo, kajne?

So what that service does, quite simply,

Ta servis nam omogoča,

is let you create a message or a video

da ustvarimo sporočilo ali video,

that can be posted to Facebook after you die.

ki ga objavijo na Facebooku po naši smrti.

Another service right now

Nek drug servis

is called 1,000 Memories.

se imenuje 1.000 spominov.

And what this lets you do is create an online tribute to your loved ones,

Omogoča nam, da ustvarimo posvetilo svojim dragim,

complete with photos and videos and stories

vključno s fotografijami, z video posnetki in zgodbami,

that they can post after you die.

ki ga objavijo po naši smrti.

But what I think comes next is far more interesting.

A menim, da je to, kar prihaja, še mnogo bolj zanimivo.

Now a lot of you are probably familiar with Deb Roy

Mnogi med vami verjetno poznate Deba Roya,

who, back in March,

ki je marca nazorno prikazal,

demonstrated how he was able to analyze more than 90,000 hours of home video.

kako je analiziral več kot 90.000 ur domačih posnetkov.

I think as machines' ability

Zmožnost naprav,

to understand human language and process vast amounts of data

da razumejo človeški jezik in obdelajo velike količine podatkov,

continues to improve,

se neprestano izboljšuje;

it's going to become possible

zato bo kmalu mogoče

to analyze an entire life's worth of content --

analizirati vse, kar smo ustvarili v življenju -

the Tweets, the photos, the videos, the blog posts --

tweete, fotografije, video posnetke, bloge -

that we're producing in such massive numbers.

ki jih ustvarjamo v tako velikem številu.

And I think as that happens,

Ko se bo to zgodilo,

it's going to become possible for our digital personas

bodo lahko naše digitalne osebnosti

to continue to interact in the real world long after we're gone

obstajale v resničnem svetu, ko nas več ne bo,

thanks to the vastness of the amount of content we're creating

zahvaljujoč ogromnim količinam vsebin, ki jih ustvarjamo,

and technology's ability to make sense of it all.

in zmožnosti tehnologije, da jih razume.

Now we're already starting to see some experiments here.

Že vidimo nekatere poskuse v tej smeri.

One service called My Next Tweet

Servis, ki se imenuje Moj naslednji tweet,

analyzes your entire Twitter stream, everything you've posted onto Twitter,

analizira naš celotni tok tweetov - vse kar objavimo na Twitterju -

to make some predictions as to what you might say next.

in poskuša predvideti našo naslednjo izjavo.

Well right now, as you can see,

Kot vidite, so v tem trenutku

the results can be somewhat comical.

rezultati nekoliko smešni.

You can imagine what something like this might look like

Lahko si predstavljate, kako bo to videti

five, 10 or 20 years from now

čez pet, deset ali dvajset let,

as our technical capabilities improve.

ko se bodo naše tehnološke zmožnosti izboljšale.

Taking it a step further,

Pojdimo en korak dalje.

MIT's media lab is working on robots

MIT-ov medijski laboratorij razvija robote,

that can interact more like humans.

ki se obnašajo podobno kot ljudje.

But what if those robots were able to interact

Kaj če bi se ti roboti znali obnašati

based on the unique characteristics of a specific person

kot posameznik - na podlagi njegovih edinstvenih značilnosti,

based on the hundreds of thousands of pieces of content

na podlagi stotisočih objav,

that person produces in their lifetime?

ki jih ta oseba ustvari v življenju?

Finally, think back to this famous scene

Za konec pomislite na znameniti prizor

from election night 2008

volilnega večera leta 2008

back in the United States,

v Združenih Državah,

where CNN beamed a live hologram

ko je CNN v živo projicirala hologram

of hip hop artist will.i.am into their studio

hip hop umetnika will.i.am-a v svoj studio

for an interview with Anderson Cooper.

za intervju z Andersonom Cooperjem.

What if we were able to use that same type of technology

Kaj če bi lahko uporabili to isto tehnologijo,

to beam a representation of our loved ones into our living rooms --

da bi v dnevne sobe projicirali slike naših ljubljenih,

interacting in a very lifelike way

ki bi se obnašali, kot da so živi -

based on all the content they created while they were alive?

na podlagi vsebin, ki so jih ustvarili pred smrtjo.

I think that's going to become completely possible

Mislim, da bo to popolnoma mogoče,

as the amount of data we're producing

ko se količina podatkov, ki jih uporabljamo,

and technology's ability to understand it

in sposobnost tehnologije, da jih razume,

both expand exponentially.

eksponentno povečata.

Now in closing, I think what we all need to be thinking about

Naj zaključim. Menim, da moramo razmisliti o tem,

is if we want that to become our reality --

ali želimo, da to postane naša resničnost -

and if so,

in če je odgovor da,

what it means for a definition of life and everything that comes after it.

kaj to pomeni za definicijo življenja in vsega, kar pride za njim.

Thank you very much.

Najlepša hvala.

(Applause)
