Ayah Bdeir: Building blocks that blink, beep and teach

Prevodilac: Mile Živković Lektor: Boško Eraković

This may sound strange,

Ovo će možda zvučati čudno

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

ali veliki sam obožavalac betonskog bloka.

The first concrete blocks were manufactured in 1868

Prvi betonski blokovi proizvedeni su 1868.

with a very simple idea:

sa veoma jednostavnom idejom:

modules made of cement of a fixed measurement

moduli od cementa određenih dimenzija

that fit together.

koji se uklapaju.

Very quickly concrete blocks became

Betonski blokovi su ubrzo postali

the most-used construction unit in the world.

najkorišćenija gradivna jedinica na svetu.

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

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

buildings, bridges,

zgrade, mostove,

one brick at a time.

ciglu po ciglu.

Essentially concrete blocks had become

U principu betonski blokovi su postali

the building block of our time.

gradivni materijal našeg doba.

Almost a hundred years later in 1947,

Skoro 100 godina kasnije, 1947.,

LEGO came up with this.

LEGO je smislio ovo.

It was called the Automatic Binding Brick.

Nazvali su ga automatski spojivom kockom.

And in a few short years,

I za samo nekoliko godina,

LEGO bricks took place in every household.

LEGO kocke pojavile su se u svakom domaćinstvu.

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

Procenjuje se da je proizvedeno preko 400 milijardi kocki -

or 75 bricks for every person on the planet.

ili 75 kocki za svaku osobu na svetu.

You don't have to be an engineer

Ne morate biti inženjer

to make beautiful houses, beautiful bridges, beautiful buildings.

da biste pravili prelepe kuće, mostove ili zgrade.

LEGO made it accessible.

LEGO je to napravio dostupnim.

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

LEGO je u principu uzeo betonski blok, gradivni materijal sveta,

and made it into the building block

i od njega napravio gradivni materijal

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 "Bell" laboratorijama, najavljena je sledeća revolucija,

the next building block.

sledeći gradivni materijal.

The transistor was a small plastic unit

Tranzistor je bio mala plastična jedinica

that would take us from a world

koja će nas prebaciti iz sveta

of static bricks piled on top of each other

nepokretnih cigli naslaganih jedna na drugu

to a world where everything was interactive.

u svet gde je sve bilo interaktivno.

Like the concrete block,

Poput betonskog bloka,

the transistor allows you to build

tranzistor vam dozvoljava da gradite

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

veća, kompleksnija kola, ciglu po ciglu.

But there's a main difference:

Ali postoji ključna razlika:

The transistor was only for experts.

tranzistor je bio samo za stručnjake.

I personally don't accept this,

Ja ovo ne prihvatam,

that the building block of our time

da je gradivni materijal našeg doba

is reserved for experts,

rezervisan samo za eksperte,

so I decided to change that.

tako da sam odlučila da promenim to.

Eight years ago when I was at the Media Lab,

Pre 8 godina kada sam bila u Media laboratoriji

I started exploring this idea

počela sam da istražujem ovu ideju,

of how to put the power of engineers

kako staviti moć inženjera

in the hands of artists and designers.

u ruke umetnika i dizajnera.

A few years ago I started developing littleBits.

Pre nekoliko godina počela sam da razvijam "littleBits".

Let me show you how they work.

Da vam pokažem kako rade.

LittleBits are electronic modules

"LittleBits" su elektronski moduli

with each one specific function.

od kojih svaki ima po jednu specifičnu funkciju.

They're pre-engineered

Oni su unapred projektovani

to be light, sound,

da budu svetlo, zvuk,

motors and sensors.

motori i senzori.

And the best part about it

Najbolja stvar je to

is they snap together with magnets.

što se spajaju magnetima.

So you can't put them the wrong way.

Tako da ih ne možete pogrešno sastaviti.

The bricks are color-coded.

Cigle su obeležene bojom.

Green is output, blue is power,

Zelena je izlaz, plava je energija,

pink is input and orange is wire.

roza je ulaz i narandžasta je žica.

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

Sve što treba je da spojite plavu i zelenu

and very quickly you can start making larger circuits.

i brzo možete početi da pravite veća kola.

You put a blue to a green,

Spojite plavu i zelenu,

you can make light.

i dobijate svetlo.

You can put a knob in between

Između možete staviti prekidač

and now you've made a little dimmer.

i sada imate mali zatamnjivač.

Switch out the knob

Umesto prekidača

for a pulse module,

stavite pulsirajući modul,

which is here,

koji je ovde,

and now you've made a little blinker.

i sada imate mali žmigavac.

Add this buzzer

Dodajte ovu zujalicu

for some extra punch

za malo dodatnog efekta

and you've created a noise machine.

i napravili ste mašinu za buku.

I'm going to stop that.

Prestaću s tim.

So beyond simple play,

Osim jednostavne igre,

littleBits are actually pretty powerful.

"littleBits" su zapravo veoma moćni.

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

Umesto programiranja, spajanja žica i lemljenja,

littleBits allow you to program

"littleBits" vam dozovoljavaju da programirate

using very simple intuitive gestures.

putem veoma jednostavnih i intuitivnih gestova.

So to make this blink faster or slower,

Kako bi treptali brže ili sporije,

you would just turn this knob

samo okrenete ovaj prekidač

and basically make it pulse faster or slower.

i u principu ga naterate da trepti brže ili sporije.

The idea behind littleBits

Zamisao iza "littleBits"

is that it's a growing library.

je da je to biblioteka u porastu.

We want to make every single interaction in the world

Želimo da svaku interakciju u svetu pretvorimo

into a ready-to-use brick.

u ciglu koja je spremna za korišćenje.

Lights, sounds, solar panels, motors --

Svetla, zvuke, solarne ploče, motore -

everything should be accessible.

sve bi trebalo da bude dostupno.

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

Davali smo "littleBits" deci i gledali smo ih kako se igraju njima.

And it's been an incredible experience.

To je bilo neverovatno iskustvo.

The nicest thing is how they start to understand

Najlepše je to kako počinju da razumevaju

the electronics around them from everyday

svakodnevnu elektroniku oko sebe

that they don't learn at schools.

koju ne uče u školama.

For example, how a nightlight works,

Na primer, kako radi noćno svetlo

or why an elevator door stays open,

ili zašto vrata lifta ostaju otvorena

or how an iPod responds to touch.

ili kako ajpod reaguje na dodir.

We've also been taking littleBits to design schools.

Takođe smo davali "littleBits" školama dizajna.

So for example, we've had designers

Na primer, imali smo dizajnere

with no experience with electronics whatsoever

bez ikakvog iskustva sa elektronikom

start to play with littleBits as a material.

koji su počeli da se igraju sa "littleBits" kao materijalom.

Here you see, with felt and paper water bottles,

Ovde vidite, sa filcom i papirnim flašama za vodu,

we have Geordie making ...

Džordi pravi...

(Clanging)

(Kloparanje)

(Buzzing)

(Zujanje)

A few weeks ago we took littleBits to RISD

Pre nekoliko nedelja poneli smo "littleBits" na RISD,

and gave them to some designers

i dali smo ih nekim dizajnerima

with no experience in engineering whatsoever --

bez ikakvog iskustva u inženjerstvu -

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

samo karton, drvo i papir - i rekli smo im: "Napravite nešto."

Here's an example of a project they made,

Ovo je primer njihovog projekta,

a motion-activated confetti canon ball.

top za konfete koji se aktivira pokretom.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

But wait, this is actually my favorite project.

Ali sačekajte, ovo je moj omiljeni projekat.

It's a lobster made of playdough

To je jastog od plastelina

that's afraid of the dark.

koji se plaši mraka.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

To these non-engineers, littleBits became another material,

Za ove ne-inžinjere, "littleBits" su postali 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 učinimo dostupnim svima.

So littleBits is open-source.

Tako da je "littleBits" otvoren projekat.

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

Možete otići na sajt, skinuti sve dizajne i sami ih napraviti.

We want to encourage a world

Želimo da ohrabrimo svet

of creators, of inventors, of contributors,

stvaralaca, izumitelja, saradnika,

because this world that we live in,

jer ovaj svet u kome živimo,

this interactive world, is ours.

ovaj interaktivni svet, je naš.

So go ahead and start inventing.

Samo napred i počnite s izumima.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)
