Chris Anderson: How YouTube is driving innovation

翻译人员: Jenny Yang 校对人员: Tony Yet

If nothing else, at least I've discovered

即使没有其他贡献，至少我也发现了

what it is we put our speakers through:

我们让我们的讲演者经历了什么

sweaty palms, sleepless nights,

手掌出汗， 不眠之夜

a wholly unnatural fear of clocks.

完全反常地害怕钟表

I mean, it's quite brutal.

我也觉得这真够残酷的。

And I'm also a little nervous about this.

而且我为此而感到有点紧张

There are nine billion humans coming our way.

九十亿人正向我们走来

Now, the most optimistic dreams

就算是最乐观的梦想

can get dented by the prospect

也会在众人争夺地球资源的

of people plundering the planet.

图景中消弱

But recently, I've become intrigued

但是最近， 当我换一种

by a different way of thinking of large human crowds,

角度来思考芸芸众生，我会感到很好奇

because there are circumstances

因为在某种特定的情况下

where they can do something really cool.

人们可以做出很酷的事情

It's a phenomenon that I think

并且我相信，任何一个组织或个人

any organization or individual can tap into.

都能从中学习到一些东西

It certainly impacted the way we think about TED's future,

这确实影响了我们对TED未来发展的思考方式

and perhaps the world's future overall.

或许说是对整个世界未来的思考方式

So, let's explore.

好吧，让我们一起探索一番

The story starts with just a single person,

故事是从一个人开始的

a child, behaving a little strangely.

一个行径古怪的孩子

This kid is known online as Lil Demon.

这个孩子的网名是 LIL Demon

He's doing tricks here, dance tricks,

他在玩耍一些技巧，舞蹈技巧

that probably no six-year-old in history ever managed before.

这恐怕是有史以来6岁的孩子从未做过的事情

How did he learn them?

那他是怎样学的呢

And what drove him to spend the hundreds of hours of practice

又是什么激励着他花了几个百个小时练习呢？

this must have taken?

他一定花了不少时间

Here's a clue.

这是一个线索

(Video) Lil Demon: ♫ Step your game up. Oh. Oh. ♫

(视频) Lil Demon: 把你的游戏提升一步，噢， 噢

♫ Step your game up. Oh. Oh. ♫

把你的游戏提升一步，噢， 噢

Chris Anderson: So, that was sent to me by this man,

克里斯 安德生：那是这个人寄给我的

a filmmaker, Jonathan Chu,

他是一位制片人，叫Jonathan Chu

who told me that was the moment he realized

他说，那个短片让他认识到

the Internet was causing dance to evolve.

互联网在加速舞蹈表演技艺的演化

This is what he said at TED in February.

这是他两月份在TED大会上说的

In essence,

说到底

dancers were challenging each other online to get better;

跳舞者在用网络互相切磋，改进舞蹈的技艺

incredible new dance skills were being invented;

一些令人难以置信的新技巧因此被发明

even the six-year-olds were joining in.

甚至连6岁的孩子都会加入

It felt like a revolution.

它仿佛是一种革命

And so Jon had a brilliant idea:

于是Jon想到了一个好主意

He went out to recruit the best of the best dancers

他到YouTube上去招募最好

off of YouTube

跳舞演员

to create this dance troupe --

组成了一个舞蹈团

The League of Extraordinary Dancers, the LXD.

叫“卓越舞蹈家舞蹈团”，简称LXD

I mean, these kids were web-taught,

这些孩子就是网络自学成才的

but they were so good that they got to play at the Oscars this year.

而他们太棒了，今年受邀在奥斯卡颁奖仪式上表演

And at TED here in February,

两月份在TED也做了演出

their passion and brilliance just took our breath away.

他们的激情和智慧让我们屏息

So, this story

奇怪的是， 这个舞蹈

of the evolution of dance

演变的故事

seems strangely familiar.

似乎听来耳熟

You know, a while after TEDTalks started taking off,

你们知道， 当TED演讲视频得到广泛传播之后

we noticed that speakers

我们注意到我们的演讲者

were starting to spend a lot more time in preparation.

开始花费大量的精力来做准备

It was resulting in incredible new talks like these two.

象这两个精彩的演讲就是这种努力的结晶

... Months of preparation

几个月的准备

crammed into 18 minutes,

浓缩在18分钟里

raising the bar cruelly for the next generation of speakers,

毫不留情地给下一轮演讲者抬高了标杆

with the effects that we've seen this week.

而结果我们也在这个星期里看到了

It's not as if J.J. and Jill

J.J 和Jill并没有

actually ended their talks saying, "Step your game up,"

在她们的表演最后说：把你们的水平再抬高点

but they might as well have.

但是她们其实已经这么做了

So, in both of these cases,

所以通过这两个例子

you've got these cycles of improvement,

你都可以发现这样循环提高的现象

apparently driven

而激励着这种进步发生的

by people watching web video.

竟是网络视频的观众

What is going on here?

这到底是怎么回事？

Well, I think it's the latest iteration of a phenomenon we can call

我想我们可以把这个最新的渐进的想象叫作

"crowd-accelerated innovation."

“群体加速创新”

And there are just three things you need for this thing to kick into gear.

只需要三样东西就可以使得这类事情发生

You can think of them

你可以把这它们

as three dials on a giant wheel.

看作是大转盘上的三个转纽

You turn up the dials, the wheel starts to turn.

你旋转转纽，转盘就转了

And the first thing you need is ... a crowd,

你第一需要的是：人群

a group of people who share a common interest.

一群有同样兴趣追求的人

The bigger the crowd,

人群越大

the more potential innovators there are.

其中蕴藏的创新者的可能性越大

That's important, but actually most people in the crowd

这很重要，然而事实上人群里的大多数人

occupy these other roles.

扮演了另外的角色

They're creating the ecosystem

他们创造了一个生态系统

from which innovation emerges.

一个孕育创新的环境

The second thing you need is light.

你需要的第二样东西是聚光灯

You need clear, open visibility

你需要将人群里最棒的人做的最棒的事情

of what the best people in that crowd are capable of,

以一种清晰而且公开的方式展示出来

because that is how you will learn

因为这样你才能向他们学习

how you will be empowered to participate.

并且这样才能鼓励你自己参与其中

And third, you need desire.

第三，你要一种欲望

You know, innovation's hard work.

大家知道， 创新是一项艰苦的工作

It's based on hundreds of hours of research, of practice.

往往需要上百小时的研究和练习

Absent desire, not going to happen.

没有欲望， 就不会有创新

Now, here's an example -- pre-Internet --

这就是一个列子：互联网之前

of this machine in action.

当这台机器还没有启动前

Dancers at a street corner --

街舞者聚集在街角

it's a crowd, a small one,

这是一小群人

but they can all obviously see what each other can do.

他们显然可以看见彼此在做什么

And the desire part comes, I guess,

我猜， 欲望就由此产生

from social status, right?

为了提高身价， 是吧？

Best dancer walks tall, gets the best date.

最好的街舞者的知名度高走， 能交到最好的女友

There's probably going to be some innovation happening here.

这里面一定会有创新应运而生

But on the web,

然后在网上

all three dials are ratcheted right up.

三个转盘的指针都指向了最高值

The dance community is now global.

于是舞蹈社群就全球化了

There's millions connected.

一个跳舞的社区可能会有上百万人，并且大家是连结在一起的

And amazingly,

令人惊奇的是

you can still see what the best can do,

你还是能看见他们中最棒的在干什么

because the crowd itself shines a light on them,

因为人群会给他们套上光环点亮他们

either directly, through comments, ratings,

直接的方法如：提供评论，评分

email, Facebook, Twitter,

电子邮件， Facebook，Twitter,

or indirectly,

或者间接的，

through numbers of views,

通过点击数量

through links that point Google there.

通过谷歌的链接

So, it's easy to find the good stuff,

所以找到好东西很容易

and when you've found it, you can watch it in close-up repeatedly

而你找到了以后，你可以仔细重复地观看

and read what hundreds of people have written about it.

读成百人写的评论

That's a lot of light.

这个聚光灯效应非常大

But the desire element

同时欲望这个转盘

is really dialed way up.

也爬升到一个很高的数值上

I mean, you might just be a kid with a webcam,

也许你只是一个小孩，你有个摄像头

but if you can do something that goes viral,

但假如你可以做一个动作，并且可以在网上广泛流程

you get to be seen by the equivalent

那么就会有成千上万的人在看你

of sports stadiums crammed with people.

就像人们在大型体育场看比赛一样

You get hundreds of strangers writing excitedly about you.

还有数百个陌生人兴奋地评论你

And even if it's not that eloquent -- and it's not --

即使它不是什么值得吹嘘，

it can still really make your day.

它也能让你一天感觉良好

So, this possibility

我想，这种能够被全球众多人群认可的机会

of a new type of global recognition,

正在成为很多人努力的一大动力

I think, is driving huge amounts of effort.

并且这是前所未有的

And it's important to note that it's not just the stars who are benefiting:

重要的是并不只是明星们才得益

because you can see the best, everyone can learn.

因为每个人都能看到最好的， 每个人都能从中学习

Also, the system is self-fueling.

而且， 这个系统是会自我完善

It's the crowd that shines the light and fuels the desire,

是人群为创新者点亮了聚光灯，助长了后者创新的欲望

but the light and desire are a lethal one-two combination

而聚光灯和欲望二者如此致命的结合

that attract new people to the crowd.

吸引了新的人群

So, this is a model

这个，就是一个模型

that pretty much any organization could use

在一个任何组织都可以运用的

to try and nurture its own cycle

他们可以用这个来尝试培育自己的

of crowd-accelerated innovation.

“群体加速创新”

Invite the crowd, let in the light,

邀请围观者，打开聚光灯

dial up the desire.

还有是激发欲望

And the hardest part about that is probably the light,

而其中最难的大概就是聚光灯了

because it means you have to open up,

这意味着你要公开

you have to show your stuff to the world.

你要向世界展示你的东西

It's by giving away what you think is your deepest secret

你需要把你认为最深藏不露的秘密拿出来

that maybe millions of people

授权给成百万的人

are empowered to help improve it.

来提高它

And, very happily, there's one class of people

而很高兴的是， 有一班人

who really can't make use of this tool.

真的没法使用这种工具

The dark side of the web

网络黑暗的一面

is allergic to the light.

是对光线过敏的

I don't think we're going to see terrorists, for example,

比如， 我想我们不会看见恐怖分子

publishing their plans online and saying to the world,

在网上公开他们的计划对世界说

"Please, could you help us to actually

“请你们帮助我们完成

make them work this time?"

恐怕活动，行吗？

But you can publish your stuff online.

但是你可以在网上发表你的 东西

And if you can get that wheel to turn,

而你如果可以使得你的轮子转起来

look out.

那你就等着瞧好吧。

So, at TED,

所以， 在TED

we've become a little obsessed with this idea of openness.

我们已经变得非常公开了

In fact, my colleague, June Cohen, has taken to calling it "radical openness,"

事实上，我的同事， June Cohen, 开始称之为：”激进地开放”

because it works for us each time.

因为对我们来说，每次这么做都很有效

We opened up our talks to the world,

我们把我们的演讲视频向世界公开

and suddenly there are millions of people out there

突然有成百万的人帮着我们

helping spread our speakers' ideas,

传播演讲者的思想

and thereby making it easier for us

于是我们的工作变得容易起来

to recruit and motivate the next generation of speakers.

我们因此可以招募和鼓动下一批演讲者

By opening up our translation program,

当我们开放了我们的翻译项目

thousands of heroic volunteers --

上千名无名英雄，自愿者

some of them watching online right now, and thank you! --

他们中的一些现在正在观看，谢谢你们

have translated our talks

他们将讲座翻译

into more than 70 languages,

成了70多个语言

thereby tripling our viewership in non-English-speaking countries.

使得我们在非英语国家的收视提高了3倍

By giving away our TEDx brand,

我们开始批准使用TEDx品牌后

we suddenly have a thousand-plus

我们突然有了上千个TEDx会议

live experiments in the art of spreading ideas.

为人们提供了传播思想的现场

And these organizers,

这些组织者

they're seeing each other, they're learning from each other.

我们看得见对方，他们互相学习

We are learning from them.

我们也向他们学习

We're getting great talks back from them.

他们从他们那里得到很多出色的演讲

The wheel is turning.

轮子正运转着

Okay, step back a minute.

好， 让我们稍微退一步

I mean, it's really not news for me to tell you

创新实际上是来自于群体的

that innovation emerges out of groups.

这个已经不是新闻了

You know, we've heard that this week --

这个星期我们就听到过

this romantic notion of the lone genius

那种一个孤独的天才说一句：“我发现啦！”

with the "eureka!" moment that changes the world

从而在瞬间改变了世界的浪漫想法

is misleading.

是误导的

Even he said that, and he would know.

即便他怎么说了， 他也知道

We're a social species.

我们是社会物种

We spark off each other.

我们互相激发

It's also not news

说网络加速了

to say that the Internet has accelerated innovation.

创新并不是什么新闻

For the past 15 years,

在过去的15年里

powerful communities have been connecting online,

强大的社群在网络上链接

sparking off each other.

互相激发

If you take programmers,

拿软件程序员来说

you know, the whole open-source movement

整个开放源代码的运动

is a fantastic instance of crowd-accelerated innovation.

就是群体加速创新的精彩典型

But what's key here is,

而这里关键是

the reason these groups have been able to connect

这些群体之所以可以链接起来

is because their work output is of the type

是因为他们的作品是

that can be easily shared digitally --

可以用数字方式共享的产品

a picture, a music file,

例如照片， 音乐文件

software.

和软件

And that's why what I'm excited about,

这也是为什么我感到兴奋的原因

and what I think is under-reported,

我认为网络视频

is the significance of the rise

崛起没有收到媒体的

of online video.

足够报道

This is the technology

这一技术

that's going to allow the rest of the world's talents to be shared digitally,

允许全球有聪明才智的人得以用数字化的手法交流

thereby launching a whole new cycle

因而将群体加速创新推入了

of crowd-accelerated innovation.

一个新的循环

The first few years of the web

最初几年的网络

were pretty much video-free,

几乎没什么视频

for this reason: video files are huge; the web couldn't handle them.

因为视频文件太大， 网络无法处理

But in the last 10 years,

然而最近的10年

bandwidth has exploded a hundredfold.

带宽翻了百倍

Suddenly, here we are.

突然，我们就看到了今天的景象

Humanity watches 80 million hours of YouTube every day.

人们一天要看8千万小时的YouTube.

Cisco actually estimates that, within four years,

思科估计，四年内

more than 90 percent of the web's data will be video.

九成以上的网络数据会是视频

If it's all puppies, porn and piracy,

如果那些数据都是玩物， 色情和盗版

we're doomed.

我们就完蛋了

I don't think it will be.

我不相信会这样

Video is high-bandwidth for a reason.

视频之所以需要宽频

It packs a huge amount of data,

是因为它带有大量的数据

and our brains are uniquely wired to decode it.

而我们的大脑拥有特殊解读它的功能

Here, let me introduce you to Sam Haber.

这里，让我来为你们介绍Sam Haber

He's a unicyclist.

他是一个独轮车手

Before YouTube,

在YouTube之前

there was no way for him to discover

他没有其他办法来发现

his sport's true potential,

这项运动真正的潜力

because you can't communicate this stuff in words, right?

因为你不能用文字来交流，是吧？

But looking at video clips posted by strangers,

但是你们看看陌生人上传的视频片段

a world of possibility opens up for him.

给他打开了一个新的世界

Suddenly, he starts to emulate and then to innovate.

突然， 他开始模仿， 然后创造

And a global community of unicyclists discover each other online,

全球的独轮车手都通过网络建立了一个

inspire each other to greatness.

社区互相激发创造新的奇迹

And there are thousands of other examples of this happening --

而这样由网络视频驱使促进技能发展

of video-driven evolution of skills,

的事例成千上万

ranging from the physical to the artful.

从物理到艺术

And I have to tell you,

我不得不告诉你

as a former publisher of hobbyist magazines,

我之前是做杂志的，做的是关于业余爱好的杂志

But look at this video.

但是你看看这段录像

I mean, look: if you can show

我是说：如果你可以展示

instead of just describing,

而不是书面描述

that problem goes away.

这个问题就不存在了

So it's not far-fetched to say

所以我们已经不是牵强附会地在这里宣称

that, at some point,

某一天

online video is going to dramatically accelerate scientific advance.

网络视频会戏剧性地加速科学研究的发展

Here's another example

这里是另外一个例子

that's close to our hearts at TED,

这个更接近TED的核心

where video is sometimes more powerful than print --

就是视频比印刷品更

the sharing of an idea.

能帮助分享思想

Why do people like watching TEDTalks?

大家为什么看TED演讲

All those ideas are already out there in print.

这种思想其实已经在印刷品中传播过

It's actually faster to read than to view.

阅读比看录像还快写

Why would someone bother?

为什么大家还要来听TED演讲呢

Well, so, there's some showing as well as telling.

那是因为讲述中还夹带了展示

But even leaving the screen out of it,

但是即便我们撇开屏幕不谈

there's still a lot more being transferred than just words.

这些演讲传递的东西还是超越了词语本身

And in that non-verbal portion, there's some serious magic.

那些不用语言传递的部分内涵着值得重视的神奇

Somewhere hidden in the physical gestures,

它们隐藏在动作中

the vocal cadence, the facial expressions,

在语言的韵律中，在面部表情中

the eye contact,

在眼神的交流中

the passion,

激情

the kind of awkward, British body language,

以及那种尴尬的，英国佬的身体语言

the sense of how the audience are reacting,

对观众的反馈的感知

there are hundreds of subconscious clues

那里面包涵了上百种潜在的暗示

that go to how well you will understand,

影响着你如何理解

and whether you're inspired --

如何接受启发

light, if you like,

或者说如何被点亮

and desire.

产生渴望

Incredibly, all of this can be communicated

不可思议的是，这一切都可以通过

on just a few square inches of a screen.

the game has changed again.

游戏改变了

It's not too much to say

不用多说

that what Gutenberg did for writing,

这是古腾堡对写作作出的贡献

online video can now do for face-to-face communication.

网络视频现在可以实现面对面的传播

So, that primal medium,

这是更原始的媒介

which your brain is exquisitely wired for ...

人们的大脑原来就是特别为之构造的

that just went global.
