So I recently just completed a short film about computers, and I'm very excited to be able to premiere it right now at TED. Let's take a look. Thank you. Did that scare you?
I think that's because computers actually are kind of scary, aren't they?
我认为这是因为计算机实际上有点可怕,不是吗?
Hi, my name is Alan Resnick, and if you don't know me, I'm a bit of a "tech-head." What does that mean?
嗨,我的名字是Alan Resnick,如果您不认识我,我有点“技术头脑”。“这是什么意思?
It means an average day for me is spent surfing the web, checking my emails and just clicking on links.
这意味着我平均一天都花在上网、检查电子邮件和点击链接上。
That's sort of me in a nutshell.
简而言之,这就是我。
And when I'm not doing that, I tour the country, and I teach people how to use computers.
当我不这样做的时候,我会走遍全国,教人们如何使用计算机。
And the number one thing I've noticed all over is that people are afraid of computers.
我注意到的第一件事是人们害怕计算机。

You guys gotta get online.
你们得上网。
It's incre -- I'm telling you, there's some crazy stuff online, you guys.

I don't have time to get into it right now, but they have photos and videos of people online, and they're performing a kind of love that I am not comfortable with.
我现在没有时间谈论它,但他们有网上人们的照片和视频,他们正在表演一种我不舒服的爱。
OK?

You know, not "use." I don't love that word "use." We don't "use" computers, do we?
不是“利用。“我不喜欢这个词“的用法我们不“使用”电脑,是吗?

I think of computers a little like grandparents, actually.

And they happen to vibrate at the exact opposite rate as human skin.

So when you're working with a computer, those vibrations are phasing.
因此,当你使用计算机时,这些振动是定相的。
And when you touch a computer, you have a vibration rate of zero.
当你触摸电脑时,你的振动率为零。
There is only one moment in every person's life when they have a vibration rate of zero, and that is on their fifth birthday, when they blow out the candle.

What kind of things can you save to your desktop? Anything. You can have photos, emails, PDFs. Those are like packets. You can have movies, video games, key codes, MP3s, zip disks.
These are all useful things that you can save to your desktop. So it's sort of an organizational technique.
这些全都可以存到桌面,都是很实用的文件。所以这也算是一种整理收纳的小方法。
So I'll give you an example. Let's say your dad emails you some pics of the lawn. All you have to do is ... OK. Yeah, you got to just save them to the desktop. Just save those right to the desktop.
And after you do that, you're going to want to print out a copy for yourself, which you're going to place on your desk's top.
这样做后,您需要为自己打印一份副本,并将其放在您的办公桌顶部。
Can I get those photos? Where the heck are those photos?

Oh, thank you so much. So -- This is cool. So now you always know where everything is. You're not going to lose anything. I'll give you another example. I'm just going to pick a file at random.
OK? Eeny meeny miny moe. Catch a tiger by the t -- Oh. This is a little embarrassing.
