Adam Ostrow: After your final status update

Translator: Amantia Gjikondi Reviewer: Helena Bedalli

By the end of this year,

Deri ne fund te ketij viti,

there'll be nearly a billion people on this planet

do te kete rreth nje miliard njerez ne kete planet

that actively use social networking sites.

qe perdorin faqet e rrjeteve sociale ne menyre aktive.

The one thing that all of them have in common

Gjeja qe te gjithe keto kane te perbashket

is that they're going to die.

eshte qe ato do te vdesin.

While that might be a somewhat morbid thought,

Nderkohe qe ky mund te duket nje mendim i frikshem,

I think it has some really profound implications

une mendoj se ka disa implikime vertete te thella

that are worth exploring.

qe jane te vlefshme per ti zbuluar.

What first got me thinking about this

Ajo cfare me beri mua ne fillim te mendoj rreth kesaj

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

ishte publikim ne nje blog i shkruar disa muaj me pare nga Derek K. Miller,

who was a science and technology journalist

qe ishte nje gazetar shkence dhe teknologjie

who died of cancer.

qe vdiq nga kanceri.

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

Miller ikerkoi familjes dhe miqve te tij te shkruanin nje shpallje

that went out shortly after he died.

qe u publikua pak pasi ai kish vdekur.

Here's what he wrote in starting that out.

Ja cfare shkruajti ai duke filluar nga fillimi.

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

Ai tha, "Ja. Une jam i vdekur,

and this is my last post to my blog.

dhe ky eshte postimi im i fundit ne blogun tim.

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

Perpara, une kerkova qe ne momentin qe trupi im do te vdese

from the punishments of my cancer,

nga denimi i kancerit,

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

familja dhe miqte e mi te publikojne kete mesazh qe une kam shkruar --

the first part of the process

qe do te jete pjesa e pare e procesit

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

te kthimit te kesaj faqeje aktive ne nje arkiv."

Now, while as a journalist,

Nderkohe qe si gazetar,

Miller's archive may have been better written

arkivat e Millerit mund te jene shkruar me mire

and more carefully curated than most,

dhe ruajtur me me kujdes, se shumica,

the fact of the matter is that all of us today

fakti eshte qe ne te gjithe sot

are creating an archive

kemi krijuar nje arkiv

that's something completely different

qe eshte dicka komplet e ndryshme

than anything that's been created

nga cdo gje qe eshte krijuar

by any previous generation.

nga cdo brez i meparshem.

Consider a few stats for a moment.

Konsideroni per pak minuta disa statistika.

Right now there are 48 hours of video

Deri tani jane 48 ore video

being uploaded to YouTube every single minute.

qe vendosen ne YouTube cdo minute.

There are 200 million Tweets being posted every day.

Jane 200 milion Tweets qe postohen cdo dite.

And the average Facebook user

Dhe mesatarja e perdoruesve te Facebook

is creating 90 pieces of content each month.

krijon 90 pjese te permbajtjes cdo muaj.

So when you think about your parents or your grandparents,

Keshtu qe kur mendoni rreth prinderve ose gjysherve tuaj,

at best they may have created

me e mira qe mund te kene krjuar

some photos or home videos,

jane disa foto ose vidio shtepie,

or a diary that lives in a box somewhere.

ose ndonje ditar qe mund te gjendet ne ndonje kuti.

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

Por sot ne te gjithe jemi duke krijuar kete arkiv dixhital teper te pasur

that's going to live in the cloud indefinitely,

qe do te jetoje ne re ne nje kohe te pacaktuar,

years after we're gone.

vite pasi ne jemi larguar.

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

Dhe une mendoj qe do te krijoje disa mundesi teper intriguese

for technologists.

per teknologet.

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

Per te qene te qarte, une jam gazetar dhe jo teknolog,

so what I'd like to do briefly

dhe me pak fjale ajo qe dua te bej

is paint a picture

eshte te pikuroj tablone

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

sesi e tashmja dhe e ardhmja do te duken.

Now we're already seeing some services

Tashme jemi duke pare disa sherbime

that are designed to let us decide

qe jane te dizenjuara per te na lene neve per te vendosur

what happens to our online profile and our social media accounts

se cfare ndodh me profilet online dhe llogarite tona te mediave sociale

after we die.

pasi vdesim.

One of them actually, fittingly enough,

Njera prej tyre ne fakt, shume e pershtatshme,

found me when I checked into a deli

me kapi kur klikova mbi "gjysem te gatshme"

at a restaurant in New York

ne nje restorant ne New York

on foursquare.

mbi katror.

(Recording) Adam Ostrow: Hello.

(Regjistrim) Adam Ostrow: Pershendetje.

Death: Adam?

Vdekja: Adam?

AO: Yeah.

AO: Po.

Death: Death can catch you anywhere, anytime,

Vdekja: Vdekja mund te te kapi kudo, ne cdo kohe,

even at the Organic.

edhe tek restorante Organike.

AO: Who is this?

AO: Kush eshte?

Death: Go to ifidie.net

Vdekja: Shko tek ifidie.net

before it's too late.

perpara se te jete teper vone.

(Laughter)

(Qeshje)

Adam Ostrow: Kind of creepy, right?

Adam Ostrow: Pak ngjethese, apo jo?

So what that service does, quite simply,

Pra, ky sherbim ben, qe, pak a shume

is let you create a message or a video

te lejon te krijosh nje mesazh ose nje vidio

that can be posted to Facebook after you die.

qe mund te te postohet ne Facebook pasi vdes.

Another service right now

Nje sherbim tjeter tani

is called 1,000 Memories.

quhet 1000 Kujtimet.

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

Kjo te lejon te krijosh nje dedikim online personave tuaj te dashur,

complete with photos and videos and stories

duke e kompletuar me foto, vidio dhe histori

that they can post after you die.

qe do te postohen pasi vdes.

But what I think comes next is far more interesting.

Ajo qe do te vije me pas eshte shume me interesante.

Now a lot of you are probably familiar with Deb Roy

Shume prej jush jane te familjarizuar me Deb Roy

who, back in March,

qe, ne Mars,

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

demonstroi sesi ishte ne gjendje per te analizuar me shume se 90,000 ore vidio shtepie.

I think as machines' ability

Une mendoj sesi aftesite e makinave

to understand human language and process vast amounts of data

per te kuptuar gjuhen njerezore dhe procesuar sasi te medha te dhenash

continues to improve,

vazhdojne te permiresohen,

it's going to become possible

do te filloje te behet e mundur

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

analizimi i te gjithe jetes me vleren e permbajtjes --

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

ne Tweeter, fotot, vidiot, postimet ne blog --

that we're producing in such massive numbers.

qe ne jemi duke prodhuar ne nje numer kaq te madh.

And I think as that happens,

Dhe une mendoj qe nderkohe qe kjo ndodh,

it's going to become possible for our digital personas

do te filloje te behet e mundur per personalitetet tona dixhitale

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

per te vazhduar per te ndervepruar ne boten tone reale per nje kohe te gjate pasi ne nuk jemi me

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

ne saje te pafundesise te shumte se permbajtjes qe ne kemi krijuar

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

dhe aftesise teknologjike qe te beje ndenjat pjese te te gjithe kesaj.

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

Tani do te fillojme te shohim ketu me shume ekperimente.

One service called My Next Tweet

Nje sherbim quhet Tweet im tjeter

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

duke analizuar te gjithe nivelin tend te Twitter, cdo gje e publikuar ne Twitter,

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

per te bere disa parashikime se cfare mund te thonit mbas.

Well right now, as you can see,

Tani, ashtu sic mund ta shihni

the results can be somewhat comical.

rezultatet mund te jene pak a shume qesharake.

You can imagine what something like this might look like

Ju mund ta imagjinoni sesi dicka si kjo mund te duket

five, 10 or 20 years from now

ne 5, 10 ose 20 vjet,

as our technical capabilities improve.

ashtu sikunder aftesite tona teknike te permiresuara.

Taking it a step further,

Duke bere nje hap perpara,

MIT's media lab is working on robots

laboratori i medias MIT eshte duke punuar mbi robotet

that can interact more like humans.

qe mund te bashkeveprojne me shume si njerezore.

But what if those robots were able to interact

Po cfare ndodh nese keto robote jane te afte te bashkeveprojne

based on the unique characteristics of a specific person

bazuar ne karakteristikat unike te nje personi specifik

based on the hundreds of thousands of pieces of content

bazuar ne permbajtjen e qindra - mijera pjeseve

that person produces in their lifetime?

qe personat prodhojne ne jeten e tyre?

Finally, think back to this famous scene

Me ne fund, mendo per kete skene te famshme

from election night 2008

nga nata e zgjedhjeve te 2008

back in the United States,

ne Shtetet e Bashkuara,

where CNN beamed a live hologram

ku CNN projektoi drejtperdrejte nje hologram

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

te nje artisti hip hop, "Will.i.am" ne studion e tyre

for an interview with Anderson Cooper.

per nje interviste me Anderson Cooper.

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

Dhe sikur ne te ishim te afte per ta perdorur te njejten lloj teknologjie

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

per te projektuar nje perfaqesim te personave tone te dashur ne dhomen tone te ndenjes --

interacting in a very lifelike way

duke ndervepruar ne nje menyre shume te gjalle

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

bazuar ne te gjithe permbajtjen qe krijuan nderkohe qe ishin gjalle?

I think that's going to become completely possible

Une mendoj qe do te behet plotesisht i mundur

as the amount of data we're producing

si dhe sasia e te dhenave qe ne jemi duke prodhuar

and technology's ability to understand it

dhe aftesise teknologjike per ta kuptuar ate

both expand exponentially.

te dyja te zgjeruara ne menyre eksponenciale.

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

Si pefundim, une mendoj qe ne te gjithe duhet te mendojme nese

is if we want that to become our reality --

kjo gje duam qe te behet realiteti jone --

and if so,

dhe nese eshte keshtu,

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

cfare nenkupton per nje perkufizim te jetes dhe cdo gjeje qe vjen pas kesaj.

Thank you very much.

Shume faleminderit.

(Applause)
