Dale Dougherty: We are makers

譯者: illusion Hung 審譯者: Chiru Chang

I'm going to have a pretty simple idea

我有個非常簡單的想法

that I'm just going to tell you over and over until I get you to believe it,

我打算一再闡述，直到說服你們為止

and that is all of us are makers.

我們全都是製造家

I really believe that.

我確實對這一點堅信不移

All of us are makers.

我們全都是製造家

We're born makers.

天生就是製造家

We have this ability

我們有能力

to make things,

製造物品

to grasp things with our hands.

用雙手掌握物品

We use words like "grasp" metaphorically

當我們說到瞭解事物時

to also think about understanding things.

我們也會用「掌握」之類的字眼做比喻

We don't just live, but we make.

我們不只是活著，我們還製造

We create things.

創造事物

Well I'm going to show you a group of makers

我要跟各位介紹幾位製造家

from Maker Faire and various places.

他們來自Maker Faire 創意盛會及世界各地

It doesn't come out particularly well,

這個成果並不是很好

but that's a particularly tall bicycle.

卻是一輛超高的自行車

It's a scraper bike; it's called --

名稱是摩天輪車

from Oakland.

來自奧克蘭的創作

And this is a particularly small scooter

對這種體型的男士來說

for a gentleman of this size.

這摩托車有點小

But he's trying to power it, or motorize it,

但是他試著給它動力、裝上發動機

with a drill.

用的是電鑽

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And the question he had is,

他想知道的是

"Can I do it? Can it be done?"

「我辦得到嗎？搞得定嗎？」

Apparently it can.

顯然沒問題

So makers are enthusiasts; they're amateurs;

製造家是一群熱情的業餘者

they're people who love

他們熱愛

doing what they do.

"製造"這件事

They don't always even know why they're doing it.

他們甚至不見得知道為什麼要這麼做

We have begun organizing makers

我們已開始號召製造家

at our Maker Faire.

到我們的Maker Faire創意盛會

There was one held in Detroit here last summer,

這場是去年夏天在底特律舉行的

and it will be held again next summer, at the Henry Ford.

明年夏天將再次在亨利．福特博物館舉行

But we hold them in San Francisco --

但我們在舊金山也有舉行

(Applause)

（掌聲）

-- and in New York.

還有紐約

And it's a fabulous event

這是一場棒極了的盛會

to just meet and talk to these people who make things

可以跟這些製造家見面與交談

and are there to just show them to you and talk about them

他們會跟你展示他們創作的作品，並詳加介紹

and have a great conversation.

然後進行很棒的討論

(Video) Guy: I might get one of those.

（影片）男子： 我可能真的會去買這種東西

Dale Dougherty: These are electric muffins.

Dale Dougherty：這些是電動鬆餅

Guy: Where did you guys get those?

男子：你們從哪弄來的？

Muffin: Will you glide with us? (Guy: No.)

鬆餅：你要跟我們一起滑行嗎？（男子：不）

DD: I know Ford has new electric vehicles coming out.

DD：我知道福特汽車公司要推出新型電動車

We got there first.

我們先馳得點囉

Lady: Will you glide with us?

女士：要不要跟我們一起滑行？

DD: This is something I call "swinging in the rain."

DD：我把這個叫做雨中鞦韆

And you can barely see it,

可能有點不容易看到

but it's -- a controller at top cycles the water to fall

不過它上面有個控制器，讓水周期性地落下

just before and after you pass through the bottom of the arc.

就在你通過拱架下方之前和之後

So imagine a kid: "Am I going to get wet? Am I going to get wet?

想像一下，孩子會想：「我會被淋濕嗎？會嗎？」

No, I didn't get wet. Am I going to get wet? Am I going to get wet?"

「不，我沒被淋濕，我會被淋濕嗎？會嗎？」

That's the experience of a clever ride.

這是個聰明的盪鞦韆體驗

And of course, we have fashion.

我們當然也有時尚產品

People are remaking things into fashion.

人們把物品改造成時尚產品

I don't know if this is called a basket-bra,

我不知道這是否叫做籃球胸罩

but it ought to be something like that.

但應該是類似的名稱

We have art students getting together,

我們讓藝術系學生一起合作

taking old radiator parts

用舊的散熱器零件

and doing an iron-pour to make something new out of it.

用鐵澆鑄做出一個新的東西

They did that in the summer, and it was very warm.

他們是在夏天做的，當時天氣相當熱

Now this one takes a little bit of explaining.

這個需要解釋一下

You know what those are, right?

你們知道這些是什麼，對吧？

Billy-Bob, or Billy Bass, or something like that.

Billy-Bob或Billy Bass（聲控跳舞魚）之類的

Now the background is -- the guy who did this is a physicist.

製作它的人有物理學的背景

And here he'll explain a little bit about what it does.

他會解釋一下它的作用

(Video) Richard Carter: I'm Richard Carter,

（影片）Richard Carter：我是Richard Carter

and this is the Sashimi Tabernacle Choir.

這是生魚片唱詩合唱團

Choir: ♫ When you hold me in your arms ♫

合唱團：♫'當你把擁我在懷中♫

DD: This is all computer-controlled

RC：這全由電腦操控

in an old Volvo.

在一輛老富豪車上

Choir: ♫ I'm hooked on a feelin' ♫

合唱團：♫我迷上一種感覺♫

♫ I'm high on believin' ♫

♫我興奮不已♫

♫ That you're in love with me ♫

♫因為我相信你愛上我♫

DD: So Richard came up from Houston last year

DD：Richard去年從休斯頓

to visit us in Detroit here

來底特律拜訪我們

and show the wonderful Sashimi Tabernacle Choir.

展示了美妙的生魚片唱詩合唱團

So, are you a maker?

所以，你們是製造家嗎？

How many people here would say you're a maker, if you raise your hand?

在場有多少人會說自己是個製造家，舉一下手？

That's a pretty good --

相當不錯

but there's some of you out there that won't admit that you're makers.

但還有些人不認為自己是製造家

And again, think about it.

再想想看

You're makers of food; you're makers of shelter;

你們製作食物、製造房屋

you're makers of lots of different things,

是許多不同事物的製造者

and partly what interests me today

現在我更感興趣的部分是

is you're makers of your own world,

你們是自己世界中的製造者

and particularly the role that technology has

尤其是技術在你生活中

in your life.

所扮演的角色

You're really a driver or a passenger --

套用福斯汽車的廣告詞

to use a Volkswagen phrase.

你要嘛就作個開車的人，不然就只能當乘客

Makers are in control.

製造的人握有掌控權

That's what fascinates them. That's why they do what they do.

這就是令製造家著迷的原因， 就是他們製造的原動力

They want to figure out how things work;

他們想弄清楚事物如何運作

they want to get access to it;

他們想使用它

and they want to control it.

他們想掌控它

They want to use it to their own purpose.

他們想用它達成自己的目的

Makers today, to some degree, are out on the edge.

某種程度上來說，當今的製造家算是異類

They're not mainstream.

他們非主流

They're a little bit radical.

他們有點激進

They're a bit subversive in what they do.

他們所做的事有點顛覆性

But at one time,

但曾經

it was fairly commonplace to think of yourself as a maker.

認為自己是一個製造家相當尋常

It was not something you'd even remark upon.

甚至不足掛齒

And I found this old video.

我找到這部舊影片

And I'll tell you more about it, but just ...

待會兒我會再多談一些，我們先...

(Music)

（音樂）

(Video) Narrator: Of all things Americans are,

（影片）旁白：對美國人的最佳形容就是

we are makers.

我們是製造家

With our strengths and our minds and spirit,

藉由我們的力量、思想和精神

we gather, we form, and we fashion.

我們收集、形塑和設計

Makers and shapers

我們是製造家也是塑造家

and put-it-togetherers.

也是拼湊家

DD: So it goes on to show you

DD：影片接下來呈現的是

people making things out of wood,

人們以木材製物

a grandfather making a ship in a bottle,

祖父在瓶子裡做一艘船

a woman making a pie --

婦女做個派

somewhat standard fare of the day.

這些都是生活中稀鬆平常的事

But it was a sense of pride

但這是種自豪的感覺

that we made things,

我們用手做出東西

that the world around us was made by us.

我們周圍的世界是我們製造的

It didn't just exist.

它不只是存在

We made it, and we were connected to it that way.

它是我們製造的，我們也因此與之緊密相連

And I think that's tremendously important.

我認為這非常重要

Now I'm going to tell you one funny thing about this.

現在我要說一個跟這有關的趣事

This particular reel --

這卷特殊的影帶

it's an industrial video --

是部商業影片

but it was shown in drive-in theaters

它在1961年間在底特律地區的

in 1961 --

露天汽車電影院

in the Detroit area, in fact --

播放，事實上

and it preceded Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho."

它比希區考克《驚魂記》一片還要早

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

So I like to think there was something going on there

所以我認為其實早在當時就已經開始了

of the new generation of makers

新生代的製造家

coming out of this, plus "Psycho."

正從這片還有驚魂記中嶄露頭角

This is Andrew Archer.

這是Andrew Archer

I met Andrew at one of our community meetings

我在號召Maker Faire盛會的

putting together Maker Faire.

一場社區會議中遇見Andrew

Andrew had moved to Detroit

Andrew搬到底特律

from Duluth, Minnesota.

從明尼蘇達州的德盧斯

And I talked to his mom,

我跟他媽媽談過

and I ended up doing a story on him

最後我為一本叫《Kidrobot》的雜誌

for a magazine called Kidrobot.

寫了他的故事

He's just a kid that grew up

他是一個成長過程中

playing with tools instead of toys.

不玩玩具而是玩工具的孩子

He liked to take things apart.

他喜歡拆東西

His mother gave him a part of the garage,

他媽媽把車庫部分空間讓給他

and he collected things from yard sales, and he made stuff.

他從舊貨拍賣會蒐集物品並製造東西

And then he didn't particularly like school that much,

他並不特別喜歡上學

but he got involved in robotics competitions,

但他參加了機器人競賽

and he realized he had a talent,

意識到自己擁有這方面的天賦

and, more importantly, he had a real passion for it.

更重要的是，他對製造非常熱情

And he began building robots.

他開始製造機器人

And when I sat down next to him,

當我坐在他旁邊時

he was telling me about a company he formed,

他向我述說他成立的一家公司

and he was building some robots for automobile factories

他正為汽車工廠製造機器人

to move things around on the factory floor.

用來在汽車廠房裏搬運東西

And that's why he moved to Michigan.

這就是為什麼他搬到密西根州

But he also moved here

他搬到這裡的另一個原因

to meet other people doing what he's doing.

是要與其他跟他有相同嗜好的人碰面

And this kind of gets to this important idea today.

講到這裡，我要介紹一個很重要的想法

This is Jeff and Bilal and several others here

這是Jeff、Bilal和其他人

in a hackerspace.

他們在一個駭客中心（hackerspace）

And there's about three hackerspaces or more in Detroit.

底特律大概有3個駭客中心，或許更多

And there's probably even some new ones since I've been here last.

從我上次來此之後，可能還有一些新成立的

But these are like clubs --

這些中心就像俱樂部

they're sharing tools, sharing space,

他們共享工具、空間

sharing expertise in what to make.

分享製造東西的專長

And so it's a very interesting phenomenon

這是個非常有趣的現象

that's going across the world.

正遍及世界各地

But essentially these are people that are playing with technology.

但基本上這些是玩科技的人

Let me say that again: playing.

我再說一次:「玩」

They don't necessarily know what they're doing or why they're doing it.

他們不一定知道自己在做什麼，或為什麼這麼做

They're playing

他們在玩

to discover what the technology can do,

在發現這些科技可以做些什麼

and probably to discover what they can do themselves,

並可能發現自己能做什麼

what their own capabilities are.

發現自己擁有哪些能力

Now the other thing that I think is taking off,

我認為還有一件事情正在興起

another reason making is taking off today,

這也是促成製造這件事興起的原因之一

is there's some great new tools out there.

就是出現了一些很棒的新工具

And you can't see this very well on the screen,

你們在螢幕上可能看不太清楚

but Arduino -- Arduino is an open-source hardware platform.

不過Arduino，Arduino是一個開放源碼的硬體平台

It's a micro-controller.

是一個微控制器

If you don't know what those are, they're just the "brains."

如果你們不知道那是什麼，它們可以說是大腦

So they're the brains of maker projects,

它們是這些作品的大腦

and here's an example of one.

這是其中一個例子

And I don't know if you can see it that well, but that's a mailbox --

我不知道你們看得清不清楚，這是個信箱

so an ordinary mailbox and an Arduino.

一個普通的信箱和一台Arduino

So you figure out how to program this,

當你瞭解如何幫它編寫程式之後

and you put this in your mailbox.

你把這個放進你的信箱中

And when someone opens your mailbox,

當有人打開你的信箱時

you get a notification,

你就會收到通知

an alert message goes to your iPhone.

警訊會傳到你的iPhone中

Now that could be a dog door,

可以裝在狗門上

it could be someone going somewhere where they shouldn't,

或是某人不該去的地方

like a little brother into a little sister's room.

像是小弟弟到小妹妹的房間

There's all kinds of different things

你可以想像出各種不同東西

that you can imagine for that.

都可以利用這種裝置

Now here's something -- a 3D printer.

這是台3D印表機

That's another tool that's really taken off -- really, really interesting.

另一個正起步的工具，真的很有趣

This is Makerbot.

這是Makerbot

And there are industrial versions of this --

它有工業用的版本

about 20,000 dollars.

約20,000美元

These guys came up with a kit version

這些人想出一個簡易版本

for 750 dollars,

只售750美元

and that means that hobbyists and ordinary folks

這意味著，業餘愛好者和一般人

can get a hold of this and begin playing with 3D printers.

都可以弄一台，開始玩3D印表機

Now they don't know what they want to do with it,

他們還不知道要用它做什麼

but they're going to figure it out.

但他們遲早會弄明白的

They will only figure it out by getting their hands on it and playing with it.

他們得用手把玩後才能得知

One of the coolest things is, Makerbot sent out an upgrade,

最酷的一件事是，Makerbot出了升級版

some new brackets for the box.

可製作列印箱的新托架

Well you printed out the brackets

你可以列印出托架

and then replaced the old brackets with the new ones.

然後用新的取代舊的

Isn't that cool?

是不是很酷？

So makers harvest technology

因此，製造家從我們四周

from all the places around us.

汲取科技元素

This is a radar speed detector

這是一個雷達測速器

that was developed from a Hot Wheels toy.

利用Hotwheels玩具車改造的

And they do interesting things.

他們製造有趣的東西

They're really creating new areas and exploring areas

他們確實創造了新領域，探索一些領域

that you might only think --

你可能認為

the military is doing drones --

無人駕駛飛機只有軍隊在製造

well, there is a whole community of people

其實有一整群人

building autonomous airplanes, or vehicles --

在製造無人駕駛飛機或車輛

something that you could program to fly on its own,

就是你可以利用程式控制，讓它自主飛行

without a stick or anything, to figure out what path it's going.

而不用控制桿之類的，就可以控制它的飛行路徑

Fascinating work they're doing.

他們所做的事情好迷人

We just had an issue on space exploration,

我們最近才出了個太空探索的專題

DIY space exploration.

DIY太空探索

This is probably the best time in the history of mankind

這或許是人類歷史中熱愛太空

to love space.

最棒的時機

You could build your own satellite and get it into space

你可以製造自己的衛星，送上太空

for like 8,000 dollars.

只需花大約8000美元

Think how much money and how many years it took NASA

想想NASA用了多少錢和多少年

to get satellites into space.

才將衛星送上太空

In fact, these guys actually work for NASA,

事實上，這些人確實為NASA工作

and they're trying to pioneer using off-the-shelf components,

他們正試著首創利用現成的零件

cheap things that aren't specialized

非專業的便宜東西

that they can combine

把這些東西加以組合

and send up into space.

然後送上太空

Makers are a source of innovation,

製造家是創新的來源

and I think it relates back to something

我認為它與過去某些發展有關

like the birth of the personal computer industry.

像是個人電腦產業的誕生

This is Steve Wozniak. Where does he learn about computers?

這是Steve Wozniak，他在哪學電腦？

It's the Homebrew Computer Club -- just like a hackerspace.

這是車庫電腦俱樂部，就像個駭客中心

And he says, "I could go there all day long

他說，「我可以在那裡待一整天」

and talk to people

「與人們交談」

and share ideas for free."

「並免費分享想法」

Well he did a little bit better than free.

其實他得到的比免費還要更好

But it's important to understand

不過重要的是，我們要理解

that a lot of the origins of our industries --

很多產業的起源

even like Henry Ford --

甚至像亨利．福特

come from this idea of playing

他們原本的想法其實來自

and figuring things out in groups.

一群人一起玩，一起把東西搞清楚

Well, if I haven't convinced you that you're a maker,

嗯，如果我還沒說服你，說你其實是一個製造家

I hope I could convince you

我希望能說服你

that our next generation should be makers,

我們的下一代應該要作製造家

that kids are particularly interested in this,

孩子們對控制物理世界

in this ability to control the physical world

這種能力特別感興趣

and be able to use things like micro-controllers

還有能使用像微控制器這樣的東西

and build robots.

及製造機器人

And we've got to get this into schools,

我們必須用各式各樣的方法

or into communities in many, many ways --

把這些能力帶入校園或社區中

the ability to tinker,

改裝的能力

to shape and reshape the world around us.

塑造和重塑我們周圍世界的能力

There's a great opportunity today --

現在有個大好機會

and that's what I really care about the most.

這也是我最在意的

An the answer to the question: what will America make?

美國能製造出什麼？

It's more makers.

答案是: 更多的製造家

Thank you very much.

謝謝各位

(Applause)

（掌聲）
