Hector Ruiz: The power to connect the world

翻译人员: Liang Zhu 校对人员: Zhu Jie

You know, one of the things that I'd like to say upfront is that

如你们所知道的，有一件事我想说在最前面

I'm really here by accident.

我能来到这里实在是很偶然。

And what I mean -- not at TED -- that I'm --

我是指，并非来到TED, 而是我

at this point in my life, truly my set of circumstances

能达到我生活的这个状态，和我的周围真实的环境

I would truly consider an accident.

我真的认为这是一个偶然。

But what I'd like to talk to you about today

但是，我今天想对你们说的

is perhaps a way in which we could use technology

是一种我们可以用来使用科技的方法，

to make those accidents happen often.

也许能让这种偶然的事情经常发生。

Because I really think, when I look back at how I actually ended up

因为我真的认为，当我回顾我是如何成长起来

in this accident, technology played a big role in that.

在这种偶然中，科技发挥了非常重要的作用。

So, what I'd like to do today is tell you a little bit about myself,

因此，今天我想做的事情就是告诉你们一点关于我的事情，

because I'd like to put in context what I'm going to tell you.

因为我希望能告诉你们我将要讲述的事情的背景

And I think you will see why the two greatest passions in my life today

并且我希望你们将会发现为什么我生命中目前最强烈的热情

are children and education.

是孩子和教育。

And once I put that in context,

我一旦交代了这个背景

I'd like to tell you a little bit about technology:

我将要告诉你们一点关于科技的事情：

why I believe technology is a tremendous enabler;

为什么科技是一个极其强大的梦想实现者；

a very powerful tool to help address some of these challenges.

一个可以处理这些挑战的非常强大的工具。

Then, about the initiative that Chris mentioned,

然后，关于基督曾提到的首创精神

that we decided to launch at AMD that we call 50x15.

我们决定在AMD提倡起来，并且称之为 50x15.

And then I'll come back to the beginning,

然后，我们将回到开始提到的

and tell you a little bit more -- hopefully convince you --

告诉你多一点——希望可以说服你——

that I believe that in today's world,

我对这个今天这个世界的信仰。

it is really important for business leaders

非常重要的是，对于一个商业领袖

not only to have an idea of what their business is all about,

应该不止知道他们的生意是做什么的，

but to have a passion for something that is meaningful.

也应该对那些非常有意义的事情充满热情。

So, with that in mind, first of all let me tell you,

请记住我刚刚讲的内容，首先让我向你们介绍

I'm one of five children. I'm the oldest, the other four are women.

我是家里五个孩子中的一员。我是最大的，另外四个是女性。

So I grew up in a family of women.

所以我成长在一个女性的家庭里。

I learned a lot about how to deal with that part of the world.

我学到了很多方法应对这世界的另一半。

(Laughter)

（大笑）

And, as you can imagine, if you can picture this:

如你们所想象的，如果你们可以描绘这样的景况：

I was born in a very small village in Mexico,

我出生在墨西哥的一小村庄里，

in, unfortunately, very poor surroundings,

不幸的是，那里的环境非常糟糕，

and my parents did not have a college education.

而且我的父母没有接受过高等教育。

But I was fortunate to be able to have one, and so were my four sisters.

但是我很幸运的接受了高等教育，同样我的妹妹们也是。

That kind of tells you a little bit of an idea of the emphasis

这个也许可以告诉你一点印象，关于

that my parents placed on education.

我的父母是如此重视教育。

My parents were fanatics about learning,

我的父母对学习十分着迷，

and I'll come back to that a little bit later.

过一会儿，我会再回到这点继续讲述。

But one of the things that exposed me early to learning,

但是有一件事情让我很早就开始学习，

and a tremendous curiosity that was instilled in me as a child,

极大的好奇心就已经渗入了我，在我还是个小孩子时，

was through a technology which is on the screen -- is a Victrola.

在屏幕上显示出来的一个科技品，是个手摇留声机。

My father found that in a junkyard,

我的父亲在垃圾站找到了它，

and was able to repair it and make it work. And somehow --

并切能够修好了它，让它运行起来。并且，

to this day, I frankly don't know how he was so aware

坦白的说，直到今天我还不知道他怎么竟如此深刻的了解

of what was going on in the world -- but,

这个世界是怎么运行的。但是

by inviting me to sit down with him when I was only a few years old,

他邀请我坐在他的身边，在我很小的时候

and playing records in this Victrola by Mozart, and he would tell me

用那个手摇留声机播放莫扎特的音乐，他告诉我

how Mozart was the most romantic of all the classic composers ever,

莫扎特是所有的古典作曲家中最浪漫的，

and how Claire de Lune, which was one of his favorites,

以及他最喜欢的月光曲（Claire de Lune) 是如何

was a real exposure to me to classical music.

将我引入了古典音乐的大门。

He explained to me about Johann Strauss, and how he created the waltzes

他向我讲解小约翰·斯特劳斯，以及他如何创造了华尔兹

that became so famous in the world.

它在全世界变得如此知名。

And would tell me a little bit about history too,

他还会跟我讲述一点历史

when he'd play the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky

当他用那个手摇留声机给我播放柴可夫斯基的《1812序曲》时

on this little Victrola, and he would tell me about Russia

他会给我讲述关于俄国的一些事情

and all the things that were happening in Russia at those times

以及那时在俄国发生的所有事情

and why this music,

以及为什么这个音乐

in some way, represented a little bit of that history.

以某种方式，再现了一点那段历史。

And even as a child, he was able to instill in me a lot of curiosity.

我还是个小孩子的时候，他就能激发出我很大的好奇心

And perhaps to you this product may not look like high tech,

也许对你们来说这个结果不是那么高科技，

but if you can imagine the time when this occurred --

但是如果你能想象到当这发生的时候

it was in the mid '40s -- this was really, in his view, a pretty piece of high tech.

是在40年代中期，在他看来这真的是非常高科技的一件事。

Well, one of the things that is really critical to try to

那么，有一件非常重要的事情是，试图

distill from that experience is that in addition to that,

从那些经历中提取一些什么，以及除此之外

people ask me and say, "Well,

人们会问我说，嗯，

how did your parents treat you when you were a child?"

你的父母是如何对待你的呢，当你还是个孩子？

And I always said that they were really tough on me.

我通常说，他们对我很苛刻。

And not tough in the sense that most people think of,

但是不是人们通常想象中的那种苛刻，

where your parents yell at you or hit you or whatever.

父母训斥你或者打你或者其他类似的。

They were tough in the sense that, as I grew up,

他们对我的苛刻体现在，当我长大了

both my mother and father would always say to me,

我的父亲母亲总是对我说，

it's really important that you always remember two things.

非常重要的是，你总能记住两件事。

First of all, when you go to bed at night,

首先，当你晚上爬上床去，

you've got to look back on the day and make sure that you felt

你已经回顾了这一天，并且确信你感到

the day was a day which you contributed something, and

这一天里你做出了贡献

that you did everything you could to do it the best way you could.

你做的所有的事情都是用你能做到最好的方式。

And the second thing they said: and we trust you,

第二件事是他们对我说：“我们相信你，

that no matter where you are or where you go,

不论你在那或者要去哪，

you will always do the right thing.

你总是在做正确的事情。"

Now, I don't know how many of you have ever done that with your kids,

现在，我不知道你们当中有多少这样对你们的小孩，

but if you do, please trust me,

但是如果你们这样做了，请相信我，

it's the most pressure you can put on a child, to say --

这是你们能给小孩子最大的压力了，对他说：

(Laughter)

（大笑）

-- we trust you that you will always do the right thing.

我们信任你，你总是在做正确的事情。

When I was out with my friends drinking beer,

当我在外面和我的好友喝啤酒的时候，

I always was very aware of those words --

我总是会想到这些话

(Laughter)

（大笑）

-- and very careful. One of the things that has happened with technology

然后就很小心。关于科技，我的心得是

is that it can only be helpful if it is useful, of course,

显然，科技有用才会有益，

but it can only be helpful too if it's accessible,

只有可获取才会有益，

and it can only be helpful if it's affordable.

只有可负担才会有益。

And in today's world, being useful, affordable and accessible

在今天这个世界里，能使用、可支付得起、可获取到

is not necessarily what happens

并没有发生在

in a lot of the technology that is done today.

现今实现的很多科技上。

So, one of our passions in our company,

因此我们公司的一项使命，

and now one of my personal passions, is to be able to really work hard

也是我个人的一项使命，就是致力于

at making the technology useful, accessible and affordable.

使得科技能够使用、可获取、可支付得起。

And to me, that is very, very critical.

对我来说，这非常、非常的重要。

Now, technology has changed a lot since the Victrola days.

现在科技已经改变了很多东西，从手摇留声机的时代之后，

You know, we now have, of course, incredibly powerful computers.

如你所知道的，我们已然拥有了不可想象得强大的计算机。

A tremendous thing that people refer to as a killer app is called the Internet.

一件伟大的事情是，人们接触到了一个招人喜爱的应用，那就是因特网。

Although frankly speaking, we don't believe the Internet is the killer app.

尽管坦白说来，我们不认为因特网是招人喜爱的应用。

What we believe is that the Internet, frankly,

我们认为因特网，坦白的说，

is a connection of people and ideas.

是人和人、想法和想法之间的连接。

The Internet happens to be just the medium

因特网恰好就是

in which those people and ideas get connected.

人和人、想法和想法之间连接的媒介。

And the power of connecting people and ideas can be pretty awesome.

而这种连接起人和人、想法和想法的力量是非常让人惊叹的。

And so, we believe that through all the changes that have occurred,

因此我们相信，通过这些已经发生了的变化，

that we're faced today with a tremendous opportunity.

现在我们面对着一个巨大的机遇。

If we can connect people and ideas more intensely -- and although

如果我们可以更紧密的将人与人、想法与想法连接起来，尽管

you've seen a plethora and a myriad of products

你已经看到了太多太多的产品

that have come to the market today, the key to me is

已经投放到市场，对我来说的关键是

how many of these products are able to provide people connectivity, in a useful way,

有多少这些产品是能够提供给人们连接，用一种有用的方式。

accessibility, in an easy manner,

可以被获取到，以一种简单的方式，

and also affordability, that

以及可以支付得起，

regardless of the economic status that a person could have,

不必考虑一个人的经济状况。

that they could have the opportunity to afford this technology.

他们可以有机会支付得起这种科技。

So, when you look at that, we said, well, we would like to, then,

因此，当你看到那样，我们说，那么，我们希望

enable that a little bit. We would like to create an initiative.

能够推动它一点点。我们想要发起这个计划。

And a couple of years ago at AMD,

几年前，在AMD,

we came up with this idea of saying,

我们提出了这个想法

what if we create this initiative we call 50x15,

将我们发起的这个计划称之为 "50*15"

where we are going to aim, that by the year 2015,

我们的目标是，到2015年之前，

half of the world will be connected to the Internet

将半个世界都连接到因特网上

so that people and ideas can get connected.

使得人与人、想法与想法得到连接。

We knew we couldn't do it by ourselves, and by no means

我们知道我们不能仅凭自己完成它，而且绝不

did we ever intend to imply that we at AMD could do it alone.

试图我们AMD独自去做。

We always felt that this was something that could be done

我们总是能感到这是能够完成的事情

through partnerships with governments, industry,

通过人们之间的合作，包括政府、工业界、

educational institutions, a myriad of other companies and, frankly, even competitors.

教育机构，和大量的其他公司，以及，坦白说来，我们的竞争者。

So, it is really a rather lofty initiative,

因此，这真正是一个高尚的创始计划，

if you want to think that way,

如果你用那种方式思考，

but we felt that we had to put a real stake up in the years ahead,

但是我们感到我们应该在前面几年做一些铺垫工作

that was bold enough and courageous enough

这些工作要足够显眼足够勇敢

that it would force us all to think of ways to do things differently.

这样能促使我们所有人去思考各种方式来把事情做得各有特色。

And I'll come back to that in a minute, because I think

我一会儿再回到这个话题继续说明，因为我认为

the results so far have been remarkable,

这个结论到目前为止已经很显著，

and I can only anticipate and get real excited about

而且我能预测到并感到兴奋，关于

what I think is going to happen in the next eight years,

我认为将要发生在之后八年里的事情，

while we get to the 2015 initiative.

当我们向那个2015年的计划进发。

Where are we today?

今天我们在哪里？

That's year by year. This comes from our friends at Gapminder.com.

年复一年。这个来自我们的朋友的站点Gapminder.com。

Those of you who've never looked at their website,

你们中没有看过这个网站，

you should look at it. It's really impressive. And you can see

应该去看看它。它给人非常深刻的印象。你能够看到

how the Internet penetration has changed over the years.

因特网对我们生活的影响在这些年里是如何变化的。

And so when we gave ourselves this scorecard to say

因此当我们给我们自己这个积分卡然后说

well, where are we related to our goal towards 2015,

嗯，对于我们2015年的目标我们到哪里了，

the thing that becomes apparent is three pieces.

这个逐渐变得清晰的事情有三个方面。

One is the Western world,

一是西方世界，

defined mostly by Western Europe and the United States,

主要是指西欧和美国，

has made an awful lot of progress.

已经得到了很大的进步。

The connectivity in these parts of the world

连接在这部分世界里

are really truly phenomenal and continue to increase.

已经非常显著并在持续增长。

As a matter of fact, we think reaching 100 percent is very doable,

实际上，我们认为实现100%的连接是可行的

even before the 2015 timeframe. In other parts of emerging countries,

甚至在2015年的计划之前。在其他崛起中的国家，

such as India and China, the progress has been good --

例如印度和中国，这个进程是优秀的，

has been solid, has been good. But in places that are not as developed,

是一步一个脚印的，是很好的。但是还有些地方还有待发展，

places like Africa, Latin America and other places in the world,

例如非洲，拉丁美洲以及世界上其他地方，

the progress has been rather slow. As a matter of fact,

发展进程还十分缓慢。实际上，

I was just recently visiting South Africa.

我刚刚拜访了南非。

I had the opportunity to have a discussion with President Mbeki,

我有机会和总统Mbeki进行了一次交谈，

and one of the things that we talked about is, what is it

我们谈的事情中，有一个是关于究竟是什么

that's keeping this connectivity goal from moving ahead faster?

阻碍着“连接”的目标快速前进？

And one of the reasons is, in South Africa,

有个原因是，在南非，

it costs 100 dollars a month to have a broadband connectivity.

需要花费100美元每月来拥有宽带连接。

It is impossible, even in the United States, for that cost,

这是不可能的，即使是在美国，由于费用高昂

to be able to enable the connectivity that we're all trying to reach.

来实现我们努力去达到的“连接”。

So, we talked about ways in which perhaps one could partner

因此我们讨论了几种方案也许可以合作

to be able to bring the cost of this technology down.

来降低使用这项科技的费用。

So, when you look at this chart,

因此当你看到这个图表，

you look at the very last -- it's a logarithmic chart on a horizontal scale --

你看到这最后——这是一个水平范围的对数表。

you look at the very end:

你看这最下面：

we've got quite a long way to go to get to the 2015 goal of 50 percent.

我们还有很长的路去实现2015年的目标来达到50%

But we're excited in our company; we're motivated.

但是让我们激动的是，我们公司已经开始了。

We really think it's a phenomenal driver of things,

我们真的认为它是一种显著的事物

to force us to do things differently, and we look forward to being able to actually,

促使我们独特的完成事情，我们希望能够真正的

working with so many partners around the world,

和世界上如此多的合作者一起工作，

to be able to reach that goal.

来实现那个目标。

Now, one of the things I'd like to explain [about] 50x15,

现在，关于50x15我们想解释一点

which I think is really critical, is that it is not a charity.

我们认为这一点是至关重要的，是它并非是慈善行为。

It is actually a business venture.

它实际上是一个商业投机。

Let's take a small segment of this, of this unconnected world,

让我们考虑这个未连接起来的世界的一个部分，

and call it the education market.

称之为教育市场。

When you look at elementary-school children,

当你观察小学里的孩子们时，

we have hundreds and hundreds of millions of children around the world

全世界，我们拥有数十亿的儿童

that could benefit tremendously

能极大的受益

from being able to be connected to the Internet.

于能够连接到英特网上。

Therefore, when we see that, we see an opportunity

因此，当我们看到那点，我们就看到一个机会

to have a business that addresses the need of that segment.

来做针对这部分需求的买卖。

And when we embarked in this initiative, from the very beginning

当我们开始从事于这样一个原创工作，从一开始

we said it very clearly: this is not a charity.

我们就说得很清楚：这不是一个慈善行为。

This is really a business venture,

这其实就是一个商业投机，

one that addresses a very challenging segment of the market.

它针对了这个市场的一个极具挑战的部分。

Because what we have learned in the last three years

因为在最近三年里我们了解到的

is that this segment of the market, whether it's education

是市场的这个部分，不论它是教育

or under-developed nations, either way, it's a segment that demands

还是欠发达国家，任意一种，它都是要求

incredibly high quality, incredibly high reliability,

可靠的高质量，可靠的可依赖性，

tremendous low cost and access, and a lot of challenges

非常低的成本以及可获取，还有很多的挑战

that frankly, without actually doing it,

坦白说来，实际上并没有开始着手来做。

it would be very difficult to understand, and

这显得很难理解，

I'll explain that in just a minute.

我再解释一会儿。

It is an initiative that is focused on simple, accessible and human-centric solutions.

这是一个集中于简单、可获取、以人为中心的解决方案的创始计划。

What we mean by that is,

我们这样说的目的是，

you know, frankly, the PC was invented in 1980, roughly speaking

如你所知道，坦白来说，个人电脑在1980年被发明，粗略的说来

more or less, and for 20-odd years, it hasn't changed.

大概有20年的历史，它没有什么变化。

It is still, in most places, a gray or black box, and it looks the same.

在大多数方面，它仍然是一个或者灰色或者黑色的黑子，看起来都一样

And frankly -- and I know that sometimes I offend some of my customers

而且坦白说来，我知道有时我冒犯了我的一些顾客

when I say this, but I truly mean it --

当我这样说的时候，但是我真心的是这样认为的。

if you could take the name of the computer off the top of it,

如果你能从电脑顶部把它的标签除去，

it would be very difficult to judge who made it,

它将会很难鉴别出是谁生产了它，

because they're all highly commoditized but they're all different.

因为它们都完全的高度商品化，但是它们又都各不相同。

So, there has not been a human-centric approach

因此现在还没有一个以人为中心的方法

to addressing this segment of the market,

来应对这个市场的这个部分。

so we really believe it is critical to think of it.

因此我们真的认为去思考它是很重要的。

It reminded me a lot of the talk we heard this morning, about this

它让我想起早上听到的很多演讲，关于这个

operating room machinery that was designed specifically for Africa.

专门为非洲设计的"手术室的机械设备"。

We're talking about something very similar here.

我们在这里讨论一点很相似的问题。

And it has to be based on a geo-sensitive approach.

用一种基于地缘敏感的方式。

What I mean by that is that in some parts of the world,

我这样说是指，在这个世界上的一些部分，

the government plays a key role in the development of technology.

政府对于技术的发展起着核心的作用。

In other parts, it doesn't.

在其他部分却不是的。

In other parts of the world, you have an infrastructure

在这世界的另外一些地方，有基础设施

that allows for manufacturing to take place.

允许工厂开办起来，

In other parts, it doesn't. And then we have to be sensitive

在其他地方就不行。并且我们必须去感觉到

about how this technology can be developed

如何能发展这种技术

and put into action in those regions.

并且在那些地区投入应用。

And the last piece, which is really important --

最后很重要的一点

and this is an opinion that we have, not shared by many,

这是一个并没有被我们与很多人分享的观点。

this is one where we seem to stand alone, on this one --

这一点我们认为和这样一个观点一致的

is that we really believe that the greatest success of this initiative

就是我们真的认为这个创始计划的伟大成功

can come by fostering local, integrated, end-to-end ecosystems.

能够通过促进本地端到端的生态系统整合来实现。

What I mean by that, and let me use this example,

我的意思是，让我举这样一个例子，

the country of South Africa, because I was just there,

在南非，因为我刚刚去过那里，

therefore I'm a little bit familiar with some of the challenges they have.

因此我对他们面临的挑战有一点点的了解。

It's a country of 45 million people. It's an economy that's emerging.

它是一个拥有四千五百万人口的国家。它是一个正在崛起的经济体。

It's beginning to grow tremendously.

它已经开始迅速的成长。

They have an objective to lowering the cost of connectivity.

他们有一个把连接的成本降低下来的目标。

They have a computer company that makes computers in South Africa.

他们有一个在南非生产计算机的公司。

They're developing a software-training environment in their universities.

他们在他们的大学里开发一个软件培训的环境。

What a place, what an ideal place

这是多么理想的一个地方

to create an ecosystem that could build the hardware and the software

来创造一个能够建立起软硬件的生态环境

needed for their schools. And to my surprise, I learned in South Africa

为他们的学校。让我惊奇的是，我了解到在南非

they have 18 dialects, I always thought they only had two --

他们有18种方言，我一直以为他们只有2种—

English and Afrikaans -- but it turns out they have 18 dialects.

英语和南非荷兰语—但是后来发现他们有18种方言。

And to be able to meet the needs of this rather complex educational system,

为了满足这如此复杂的教育系统的需要

it could only be done from inside.

它只能从内部去实现。

I don't think this segment of the market can be addressed

我不认为这部分市场可以通过

by companies parachuting from another place of the world,

世界上其它地方的公司空降过来

and just dumping product and selling into the markets.

以及只是倾倒产品和往市场里销售可以满足。

So, we believe that in those regions of the world

因此我们相信在世界上的这些地区

where the population is large,

人口众多，

and there's an infrastructure that can provide it,

有基础设施能够提供它，

that a local, integrated, end-to-end system

一个本地的集成的端到端的系统

is really critical for its success.

对它的成功是非常重要的。

This is a picture of a classroom that we outfitted with computers

这个图片是一个我们用电脑装配好的教室

in Mexico, in my home country.

电脑发挥的威力。并且我要告诉你

so easy to appreciate the impact that access to technology

很容易就提高了这些效应，影响来自高科技的使用

and connectivity can have in the lives and education of these kids.

生活中可得到的连接，以及这些孩子的教育。

We just recently opened a learning laboratory in a school

我们最近在一个学校开办了一个学习实验室

it's a start. And we are learning a lot.

这只是一个开始。我们学到了很多。

And we're learning a tremendous amount about

我们学到了非常多，关于

what we believe this segment needs to be able to be effective.

我们相信这部分市场需要变得能有效用。

I was eager to go off to college, and go find girls, and study,

That's when it dawned on me the tremendous challenge

但是最重要的是他给我教诲我要富有热情的

to really get up and think that my role in life

is not just to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

It's got to be that someday I can look back,

and this place is truly better through some small contribution
