Ariel Garten: Know thyself, with a brain scanner

Prevodilac: Gorana Glisovic Lektor: Ivana Korom

The maxim, "Know thyself" has been around since the ancient Greeks.

Maksima "Spoznaj sebe"

postoji još od stare Grčke.

Some attribute this golden world knowledge to Plato, others to Pythagoras.

Neki je pripisuju Platonu,

neki Pitagori,

But the truth is it doesn't really matter which sage said it first,

ali i nije toliko bitno koji mudrac ju je prvi koristio,

because it's still sage advice, even today.

već to da se zadržala do današnjih dana.

"Know thyself."

Spoznaj sebe.

It's pithy almost to the point of being meaningless,

Precizno pogađa suštinu,

gotovo do tačke besmisla,

but it rings familiar and true, doesn't it?

ali zvuči poznato i istinito, zar ne?

"Know thyself."

Spoznaj sebe.

I understand this timeless dictum as a statement about the problems,

Ja ovu bezvremenu sentencu shvatam

kao izraz problema, ili preciznije, konfuzije

or more exactly, the confusions, of consciousness.

spoznaje.

I've always been fascinated with knowing the self.

Oduvek me je fasciniralo spoznavanje sebe.

This fascination led me to submerge myself in art,

Ta fascinacija me je inspirisala da "uronim" u svet umetnosti,

study neuroscience, and later, to become a psychotherapist.

proučavam neuronauku

i kasnije postanem psihoterapeut.

Today I combine all my passions as the CEO of InteraXon,

Danas kombinujem te svoje strasti

kao izvršni direktor InteraXon-a,

a thought-controlled computing company.

kompanije koja se bavi stvaranjem

umom kontrolisane kompjuterske tehnologije.

My goal, quite simply, is to help people become more in tune with themselves.

Moj cilj, veoma jednostavno,

jeste da pomognem ljudima da budu usklađeniji sa samim sobom.

I take it from this little dictum, "Know thyself."

On proizlazi iz te kratke sentence,

Spoznaj sebe.

If you think about it,

Kad malo razmislite, uvidećete

this imperative is kind of the defining characteristic of our species, isn't it?

da je ovaj imperativ neka vrsta definisanja svojstva naše vrste, zar ne?

I mean, it's self-awareness

Samospoznaja je

that separates Homo sapiens from earlier instances of our mankind.

ono što odvaja homosapiensa

od ranijih faza čovečanstva.

Today we're often too busy

U današnje vreme smo suviše zauzeti

svojim iPhonima i iPodima

tending to our iPhones and iPods to really stop and get to know ourselves.

i nemamo vremena da zastanemo i zaista pogledamo u sebe.

Under the deluge of minute-to-minute text conversations,

U poplavi SMS komunikacije iz minuta u minut,

e-mails, relentless exchange of media channels

imejlova, neprestanog "bombardovanja" medija novim sadržajima,

and passwords and apps and reminders and Tweets and tags,

lozinki, aplikacija, podsetnika, tvitovanja i tagovanja,

we lose sight of what all this fuss is supposed to be about in the first place:

gubimo uvid u ono što stoji iza sve te huke i buke,

a to smo mi sami.

Ourselves.

Much of the time we're transfixed

Većinu vremena smo "paralizovani"

by all of the ways we can reflect ourselves out into the world.

svim načinima kojima izražavamo sebe u odnosu na spoljašnji svet,

And we can barely find the time to reflect deeply back in on our own selves.

i jedva da pronađemo malo vremena

da promislimo o svom unutrašnjem "ja".

We've cluttered ourselves up with all this.

Upleteni smo u čitavu tu gungulu,

And we feel like we have to get far, far away to a secluded retreat,

i čini nam se da moramo da se povučemo

daleko u neko izolovano utočište i da ostavimo sve za sobom.

leaving it all behind.

So we go far away to the top of a mountain,

I tako odlazimo daleko,

na vrhove planina,

assuming that perching ourselves on a piece

pretpostavljajući da će nam boravak tamo

is bound to give us the respite we need to sort the clutter, the chaotic everyday,

doneti preko potreban predah

da se izborimo sa gungulom, svakodnevnim haosom,

and find ourselves again.

i ponovo pronađemo sebe.

But on that mountain where we gain that beautiful peace of mind,

Ali šta je to što povlačenjem na tu planinu

koje nam pruža blaženi duševni mir,

what are we really achieving?

zaista postižemo?

It's really only a successful escape.

To je zapravo samo uspešan beg.

Think of the term we use, "Retreat."

Razmislite o terminu koji koristimo - "povlačenje".

This is the term that armies use when they've lost a battle.

To je termin koji se u vojsci koristi nakon izgubljene bitke.

It means we've got to get out of here.

To znači da moramo da odemo odavde.

Is this how we feel about the pressures of our world,

Da li je to ono što osećamo u vezi sa pritiscima današnjice?

that in order to get inside ourselves,

Da li je, da bismo spoznali sebe, potrebno "bežati u brda"?

you have to run for the hills?

And the problem with escaping your day-to-day life

Problem u begu od svakodnevnice

is that you have to come home, eventually.

je to što se pre ili kasnije morate vratiti.

So when you think about it,

Kada malo razmislite o tome,

we're almost like a tourist visiting ourselves over there.

mi smo poput turista

koji posećuju sebe tamo.

And eventually, that vacation's got to come to an end.

A taj odmor se jednom mora završiti.

So my question to you is,

Dakle, moje pitanje je:

can we find ways to know ourselves without the escape?

možemo li pronaći načine da spoznamo sebe

bez da tražimo utočište u begu?

Can we redefine our relationship with the technologized world

Možemo li na drugačiji način da definišemo svoj odnos

prema svetu preplavljenom tehnologijom

in order to have the heightened sense of self-awareness that we seek?

u cilju pojačavanja osećaja samosvesti

za kojim tragamo?

Can we live here and now in our wired web

Možemo li da živimo ovde i sada u svojoj globalnoj mreži

and still follow those ancient instructions, "Know thyself?"

a da se pritom još uvek držimo drevnog saveta:

spoznaj sebe.

I say the answer is yes.

Ja smatram da je odgovor - da.

And I'm here today to share a new way

Ovde sam danas da podelim sa vama novi način

that we're working with technology to this end,

na koji možemo koristiti tehnologiju

to get familiar with our inner self like never before --

da spoznamo svoje unutrašnje ja

kao nikada ranije -

humanizing technology and furthering that age-old quest of ours

humanizujući tehnologiju

i unapređujući to vekovno traganje

to more fully know the self.

za potpunijom spoznajom sebe.

It's called thought-controlled computing.

Zove se umom kontrolisano korišćenje računarske tehnologije.

You may or may not have noticed

Možda ste primetili

that I'm wearing a tiny electrode on my forehead.

da imam malu elektrodu pričvršćenu na čelo.

This is actually a brainwave sensor

To je zapravo senzor moždanih talasa

that's reading the electrical activity of my brain

koji očitava elektro aktivnost mog mozga

dok držim ovaj govor.

as I give this talk.

These brainwaves are being analyzed and we can see them as a graph.

Talasi se analiziraju i možemo ih videti predstavljene u grafikonu.

Let me show you what it looks like.

Pokazaću vam kako to izgleda.

That blue line there is my brainwave.

Ona plava linija predstavlja moje moždane talase.

It's the direct signal being recorded from my head, rendered in real time.

To je direktni signal koji se beleži iz moje glave,

prikazan u realnom vremenu.

The green and red bars show that same signal displayed by frequency,

Zeleni i crveni deo predstavljaju isti taj signal prikazan frekvencijama,

with lower frequencies here

nižim ovde, a višim tamo.

and higher frequencies up here.

You're actually looking inside my head as I speak.

Bukvalno možete videti šta se odigrava u mojoj glavi dok pričam.

These graphs are compelling, they're undulating,

Ovi grafikoni privlače pažnju, talasasti su,

but from a human's perspective, they're actually not very useful.

ali iz perspektive čoveka

oni zapravo i nisu od neke koristi.

That's why we've spent a lot of time

Zato smo proveli mnogo vremena

thinking about how to make this data meaningful to the people who use it.

razmišljajući kako da ove podatke učinimo smislenim

ljudima koji ih koriste.

For instance,

Na primer, šta ako mogu da iskoristim ove podatke

what if I could use this data to find out how relaxed I am at any moment?

da otkrijem koliko sam opuštena?

Or what if I can take that information

Ili ako ih predstavim u organskom obliku na ekranu?

and put it into an organic shape up on the screen?

The shape on the right over here

Oblik sa desne strane postaje

has become an indicator of what's going on in my head.

pokazatelj procesa koji se odigravaju u mojoj glavi.

The more relaxed I am,

Što sam opuštenija,

the more the energy's going to fall through it.

više energije će teći kroz njega.

I may also be interested in knowing how focused I am,

Možda me interesuje i koliko sam fokusirana,

so I can put my level of attention into the circuit board on the other side.

pa mogu da unesem podatke o nivou pažnje u kontrolnu ploču sa druge strane.

And the more focused my brain is,

Što je veći nivo koncentracije,

the more the circuit board is going to surge with energy.

veće će biti promene u energiji koje očitava kontrolna tabla.

Ordinarily, I would have no way of knowing how focused or relaxed I was

Uobičajeno, ne postoji nikakav opipljiv način

da saznam koliko sam opuštena ili fokusirana.

in any tangible way.

As we know, our feelings about how we're feeling

Kao što znamo,naša osećanja o tome kako se osećamo

are notoriously unreliable.

su nepopravljivo nepouzdana.

We've all had stress creep up on us without even noticing it

Svima nam se dogodilo da i ne primetimo koliko se stresa u nama nagomilalo

until we lost it on someone who didn't deserve it,

sve dok se ne iskalimo na nekom ko to uopšte ne zaslužuje

and then we realize that we probably should have checked in with ourselves

a onda shvatimo da je trebalo da sami to uvidimo

a little earlier.

i sprečimo na vreme.

This new awareness opens up vast possibilities

Ova nova osvešćenost

otvara ogromne mogućnosti

for applications that help improve our lives and ourselves.

za poboljšanje naših života i nas samih.

We're trying to create technology that uses the insights

Pokušavamo da stvorimo tehnologiju koja na osnovu uvida u našu unutrašnjost

to make our work more efficient, our breaks more relaxing

čini naš rad efikasnijim, a odmor opuštenijim,

and our connections deeper and more fulfilling than ever.

naše veze dublje i smislenije nego ikad.

I'm going to share some of these visions with you in a bit,

Podeliću neke od ovih vizija sa vama uskoro,

but first I want to take a look at how we got here.

ali prvo želim da vam pokažem kako smo stigli do toga.

By the way, feel free to check in on my head at any time.

Slobodno bacite pogled na to

šta se dešava u mojoj glavi kad god vam odgovara.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

My team at InteraXon and I

Moj tim u kompaniji InteraXon i ja radimo

have been developing thought-controlled application for almost a decade now.

na umom kontrolisanoj aplikaciji već deset godina.

In the first phase of development,

U prvoj fazi smo bili oduševljeni količinom

we were really enthused by all the things we could control with our mind.

stvari koje se mogu kontrolisati ljudskim umom.

Činili smo stvari aktivnim i sjajnim

We were making things activate, light up and work just by thinking.

isključivo razmišljanjem.

We were transcending the space between the mind and the device.

Uspeli smo da premostimo razlike

između ljudskog uma i uređaja.

We brought to life a vast array of prototypes and products

Oživeli smo ogroman broj prototipa i proizvoda

koje je moguće kontrolisati ljudskim umom,

that you could control with your mind,

like thought-controlled home appliances

kao što su npr aparati za domaćinstvo,

or slot-car games or video games or a levitating chair.

slot ili vigeo igre,

ili levitirajuća stolica.

We created technology and applications that engaged people's imaginations,

Stvorili smo tehnologiju i aplikacije

koje su podsticale maštu ljudi,

i to je bilo zaista uzbudljivo.

and it was really exciting.

And then we were asked to do something really big for the Olympics.

A onda smo dobili zadatak da uradimo nešto zaista bitno

za Olimpijske igre.

We were invited to create a massive installation

Trebalo je da napravimo ogromnu instalaciju

at the Vancouver 2010 winter Olympics,

na Zimskoj Olimpijadi u Vankuveru 2010,

were used in Vancouver,

koja bi kontrolisala

got to control the lighting on the CN Tower,

rasvetu na zgradi C.N. Tauera,

the Canadian Parliament buildings and Niagara Falls

zgradama kanadskog Parlamenta i Nijagarinim vodopadima,

from all the way across the country using their minds.

a kojom bi se upravljalo sa drugog kraja zemlje

snagom ljudskog uma.

Over 17 days at the Olympics, 7,000 visitors from all over the world

U periodu od 17 dana 7.000 posetilaca Olimpijade

actually got to individually control the light

imalo je priliku da pojedinačno kontroliše osvetljenje

from the CN Tower, parliament and Niagara in real time

na C.N. Taueru, Parlamentu i Nijagarinim vodopadima u realnom vremenu

with their minds from across the country, 3,000 km away.

snagom svog uma, sa udaljenosti od 3.000 km.

So controlling stuff with your mind is pretty cool.

Dakle, kontrolisanje stvari snagom uma

je prilično kul.

But we're always interested in multitiered levels of human interaction.

Ali, mi se bavimo i istraživanjem višeslojne ljudske interakcije,

And so we began looking into inventing thought-controlled applications

pa smo započeli rad na osmišljavanju

aplikacija kojima upravlja ljudski um

in a more complex frame than just control.

na kompleksniji način u odnosu na puko kontolisanje,

And that was responsiveness.

a to je povratna sprega.

We realized that we had a system

Shvatili smo da postoji sistem

that allowed technology to know something about you.

koji omogućava da tehnologija sazna nešto o vama,

And it could join into the relationship with you.

i tako se može stvoriti veza između nje i vas.

We created the responsive room

Stvorili smo prostoriju za ispitivanje povratne sprege

where the lights, music and blinds adjusted to your state.

u kojoj su svetlo i muzika bili prilagođeni nečijem stanju.

They followed these little shifts in your mental activity.

Kroz ove stvari praćene su promene u mentalnoj aktivnosti.

So as you settled into relaxation at the end of a hard day,

Tako da, ako se opuštate na kauču u kancelariji

on the couch in our office,

na kraju napornog radnog dana,

the music would mellow with you.

i muzika postaje blaža, u skladu sa raspoloženjem.

When you read, the desk lamp would get brighter.

Ako čitate, lampa na stolu sija jače.

If you nod off, the system would know, dimming to darkness as you do.

Ako zadremate, sistem će znati za to,

i svetla će se prigušiti.

We then realized that if technology could know something about you

Shvatili smo da, ako tehnologija "sazna" nešto o ljudima,

and use it to help you,

i to iskoristi da nam pomogne,

there's an even more valuable application than that.

dobićemo još vredniju primenu.

That you could know something about yourself.

Tako možemo saznati nešto novo o sebi.

We could know sides of ourselves that were all but invisible

Možemo uvideti neke aspekte svoje ličnosti

kojih nismo ni bili svesni

and come to see things that were previously hidden.

i otkriti neke stvari koje su bile skrivene.

Let me show you an example of what I'm talking about here.

Pokazaću vam primer za ovo o čemu pričam.

Here's an application that I created for the iPad.

Evo aplikacije

koju sam napravila za iPad.

So the goal of the original game Zen Bound is to wrap a rope around a wooden form.

Cilj originalne Zen Baund igre

je obmotati uže oko određene figure od drveta.

So you use it with your headset.

Igramo je pomoću uređaja koji je pričvšćen za glavu.

The headset connects wirelessly to an iPad or a smartphone.

Ovaj uređaj je bežičnom vezom povezan sa iPad-om ili smartfonom.

In that headset, you have fabric sensors on your forehead and above the ear.

U njemu se nalaze

senzori prikačeni na čelo i iznad uha.

In the original Zen Bound game,

U originalnoj igri, igra se tako što

you play it by scrolling your fingers over the pad.

se prstima skroluje po ekranu.

In the game that we created, of course,

U igri koju smo mi osmislili,

you control the wooden form that's on the screen there with your mind.

drvena figura na ekranu

se kontroliše umom.

As you focus on the wooden form,

Ako se koncentrišete na tu figuru,

it rotates.

ona će se okretati.

The more you focus, the faster the rotation.

Što se više koncentrišete, rotacija je brža.

This is for real.

Ovo je stvarno moguće.

This is not a fake.

Nije laž.

What's really interesting to me though

Ono što je meni interesantno

is at the end of the game, you get stats and feedback about how you did.

je to da se po završenoj igri mogu dobiti statistički podaci

i fidbek o tome koliko ste bili uspešni.

You have graphs and charts that tell you how your brain was doing --

Postoje grafikoni i tabele

sa podacima o tome kako se vaš mozak ponašao -

not just how much rope you used or what your high score is,

ne samo o tome koliko ste užeta iskoristili

ili koji je vaš najbolji rezultat,

but what was going on inside of your mind.

nego i to šta se dešavalo

unutar vašeg uma.

And this is valuable feedback

A to su dragoceni povratni podaci

that we can use to understand what's going on inside of ourselves.

koje možemo da koristimo da saznamo

šta se dešava unutar nas.

I like to call this "intra-active."

Volim da ovaj proces nazivam

intra - aktivnim.

Normally, we think about technology as interactive.

Obično tehnologiju doživljavamo

kao interaktivnu.

This technology is intra-active.

Ova tehnologija je intra - aktivna.

It understands what's inside of you

Ona razume šta se dešava unutar vas

and builds a sort of responsive relationship

i gradi neku vrstu povratne sprege

between you and your technology

između vas i tehnologije.

so that you can use this information to move you forward.

Podaci koje dobijamo ovim putem

mogu nam pomoći da napredujemo,

So you can use this information to understand you in a responsive loop.

da razumemo svoju ulogu u povratnoj sprezi.

At InteraXon --

U kompaniji InteraXon,

intra-active technology is one of our really defining mandates.

intra-aktivna tehnologija

je jedan od naših definišućih principa.

It's how we understand the world inside and reflect it outside

To je način na koji razumemo svet iznutra

i izražavamo sebe spolja

into this tight loop.

u toj čvrstoj sprezi.

For example, thought-controlled computing

Na primer, umom kontrolisana kompjuterska tehnologija

can teach children with ADD how to improve their focus.

može da nauči decu koja pate od poremećaja pažnje

kako da poboljšaju koncentraciju.

With ADD, children have a low proportion of beta waves for focus states

Deca sa ovim sindromom imaju nisku proporciju beta talasa

za stanje fokusa i visoku proporciju teta stanja.

and a high proportion of theta states.

So you can create applications that reward focused brain states.

Za njih se može napraviti aplikacija koja nagrađuje stanja fokusa.

So you can imagine kids playing video games with their brain waves

Zamislite decu koja igraju video igre snagom svojih moždanih talasa

and improving their ADD symptoms as they do it.

i uz to rešavaju problem poremećaja pažnje.

This can be as effective as Ritalin.

To može delovati jednako efikasno kao i ritalin.

Perhaps even more importantly,

Ono što je možda od još većeg značaja,

thought-controlled computing can give children with ADD

jeste da ovakva kompjuterska tehnologija

može da pruži uvid ovoj deci u oscilacije njihovih mentalnih stanja,

insights into their own fluctuating mental states,

so they can better understand themselves and their learning needs.

tako da mogu bolje da razumeju sebe

i svoje potrebe pri učenju.

The way these children will be able to use their new awareness to improve themselves

Nova svest o rešavanju ovog problema može da pomogne

deci da rade na sebi i da poboljšaju svoje stanje, što bi drastično uticalo

will upend many of the damaging and widespread social stigmas

na sprečavanje raširene i štetne društvene stigmatizacije

that people who are diagnosed as different are challenged with.

sa kojom se ove osobe susreću.

We can peer inside our heads

Možemo da pogledamo šta se zbiva unutar naših glava,

and interact with what was once locked away from us,

i stupimo u vezu sa nečim što ranije nije bilo dostupno,

what once mystified and separated us.

nečim što nas je nekada zbunjivalo i razdvajalo.

Brainwave technology can understand us, anticipate our emotions

Tehnologija moždanih talasa može da nas razume, da predvidi naša osećanja

and find the best solutions for our needs.

i pronađe najbolje rešenje za naše potrebe.

Imagine this collected awareness of the individual

Zamislite svu ovu sakupljenu svest pojedinca

computed and reflected across an entire lifespan.

kompjuterski obrađenu i prikazanu kroz čitav životni vek.

Imagine the insights that you can gain from this kind of second sight.

Zamislite koliko toga se može saznati

iz drugačije perspektive.

It would be like plugging into your own personal Google.

Bilo bi to kao da ste se konektovali na svoj sopstveni Gugl.

On the subject of Google,

Govoreći o Guglu,

today you can search and tag images

danas možete naći i označiti slike

based on the thoughts and feelings you had while you watched them.

na osnovu misli i osećanja koja ste imali dok ste ih gledali.

You can tag pictures of baby animals as happy,

Možete obeležiti slike mladunaca životinja kao srećne,

or whatever baby animals are to you,

ili bilo kojim drugim osećanjem koje oni izazivaju u vama,

and then you can search that database, navigating with your feelings,

a onda možete istraživati bazu podataka,

rukovodeći se svojim osećanjima,

rather than the keywords that just hint at them.

a ne ključnim rečima koje su samo nagoveštaj.

Or you could tag Facebook photos

Ili možete da obeležite fotografije na Fejsbuku

with the emotions that you had associated with those memories

emocijama koje vas vežu za te uspomene,

and then instantly prioritize the streams that catch your attention,

i time odmah date prioritet

stvarima koje vam privlače pažnju

just like this.

ovako.

Humanizing technology is about taking what's already natural

Humanizovanje tehnologije je uzimanje

onoga što već prirodno postoji u odnosu ljudi i tehnologije

about the human-tech experience

and building technology seamlessly in tandem with it.

i stvaranje tehnologije u skladu sa tim.

As it aligns with our human behaviors,

Usklađujući se sa ljudskim ponašanjem,

it can allow us to make better sense of what we do

tehnologija nam može pružiti svest o tome šta radimo,

and, more importantly, why.

i još važnije, zašto to radimo,

Creating a big picture out of all the important little details

stvarajući širu sliku

napravljenu od mnogo malih ali bitnih detalja

that make up who we are.

od kojih smo sačinjeni.

With humanized technology we can monitor the quality of your sleep cycles.

Uz pomoć humanizovane tehnologije

možemo pratiti kvalitet ciklusa spavanja.

When our productivity starts to slacken, we can go back to that data

Kada produktivnost počne da opada,

možemo se vratiti na podatke

and see how we can make more effective balance between work and play.

i pogledati kako možemo napraviti bolju ravnotežu

između posla i zabave.

Do you know what causes fatigue in you or what brings out your energetic self,

Znate li šta izaziva umor kod vas,

a šta povećava nivo energije,

what triggers cause you to be depressed

šta vas čini depresivnim,

or what fun things are going to bring you out of that funk?

a šta vam pričinjava uživanje?

Imagine if you had access to data

Zamislite da imate pristup podacima

that allowed you to rank on a scale of overall happiness

koji, na skali sveukupne sreće, pružaju mogućnost rangiranja ljudi

which people in your life made you the happiest,

koji su vas učinili najsrećnijim,

or what activities brought you joy.

ili aktivnosti koje su vam pričinile najviše zadovoljstva.

Would you make more time for those people? Would you prioritize?

Da li biste provodili više vremena sa tim ljudima?

Would you get a divorce?

Da li biste se razveli?

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

What thought-controlled computing can allow you to do

Ono što umom kontrolisana kompjuterska tehnologija omogućava

is build colorful layered pictures of our lives.

je stvaranje živih, slojevitih slika naših života.

Uz pomoć toga, moguće je dobiti precizne podatke o psihološkim procesima

And with this, we can get the skinny on our psychological happenings

and build a story of our behaviors over time.

i stvoriti uvid u naše ponašanje kroz vreme.

We can begin to see the underlying narratives that propel us forward

Možemo spoznati stvari koje postoje ispod površine

koje nam daju podsticaj,

and tell us about what's going on.

i pružaju detaljniji uvid u to šta se dešava.

Na taj način, možemo naučiti

And from this, we can learn how to change the plot, the outcome

kako da menjamo stvari i utičemo na ishod

and the character of our personal stories.

i karakter

naših ličnih priča.

Two millennia ago, those Greeks had some powerful insights.

Pre dva milenijuma,

Grci su uočili neke zaista moćne istine.

They knew that a fundamental piece falls into place

Znali su da će se najvažniji deo slagalice uklopiti

when you start to live out their little phrase,

u čitavu sliku jednom kada ljudi počnu da se ponašaju u skladu

when you come into contact with yourself.

sa tom njihovom kratkom izrekom, kada ostvare kontakt sa samim sobom.

They understood the power of human narrative

Oni su razumeli snagu ljudske priče

and the value that we place on humans as changing, evolving and growing.

i vrednost čoveka

kao bića koje se menja, evoluira, raste.

But they understood something more fundamental --

Ali oni su razumeli i još jednu, važniju stvar -

the sheer joy in discovery,

a to je sama radost otkrivanja,

the delight and fascination that we get from the world

zadovoljstvo i fascinacija koju nam pruža svet oko nas

and being ourselves in it;

i mi sami kao deo tog sveta,

the richness that we get from seeing, feeling and knowing the lives that we are.

bogatstvo koje nam pruža

posmatranje, osećanje i spoznaja života koji smo mi sami.

My mom's an artist,

Moja majka je umetnica,

and as a child, I'd often see her bring things to life with the stroke of a brush.

i kao dete sam često gledala

kako je oživljavala stvari jednim potezom četkice.

One moment, it was all white space, pure possibility.

U jednom trenutku postojalo je samo prazno platno, mogućnost.

The next, it was alive with her colorful ideas and expressions.

U sledećem, postajalo je živo,

puno raznobojnih ideja i izražaja.

As I sat easel-side, watching her transform canvas after canvas,

Dok sam sedela kraj štafelaja,

posmatrajući je kako oslikava platno za platnom,

I learned that you could create your own world.

naučila sam da je moguće stvoriti svoj sopstveni svet.

I learned that our own inner worlds --

Naučila sam da naši unutrašnji svetovi -

our ideas, emotions and imaginations --

naše ideje, osećanja i mašta nisu, zapravo,

were, in fact, not bound by our brains and bodies.

ograničeni našim mozgom i telom.

If you could think it, if you could discover it,

Ako smo u stanju da zamislimo određene ideje,

da ih otkrijemo, onda možemo i da ih oživimo.

you could bring it to life.

To me, thought-controlled computing

Za mene, umom kontrolisano korišćenje kompjutera

is as simple and powerful as a paintbrush --

je jednako jednostavno i moćno kao i potez četkicom po platnu -

one more tool to unlock and enliven the hidden worlds within us.

to je još jedno od "oruđa" kojim možemo da oslobodimo

i oživimo skrivene svetove unutar nas.

I look forward to the day that I can sit beside you, easel-side,

Radujem se danu

kada ću moći da sedim pored vas,

i posmatram svet koji stvaramo novim alatkama

watching the world that we can create with our new toolboxes

and the discoveries that we can make about ourselves.

i nove stvari koje otkrivamo o sebi.

Thank you.

Hvala.
