TED演讲之身体语言 互联网可能会崩溃,怎么办?(8)
But people won’t decide to do it until they recognize the need for it, and that’s the problem that we have right now.
但是直到人民意识到真正的需要，才会决定去做，这就是现在的问题所在。
So there’s been plenty of people, plenty of us have been quietly arguing that we should have this independent system for years,
因此大量的人，大量的专家们多年来一直在静静地争论我们应该有这么一套独立的系统，
but it’s very hard to get people focused on plan B when plan A seems to be working so well.
但很难让人们在互联网运行良好时，去关注B计划。
So I think that, if people understand how much we’re starting to depend on the Internet,
因此我认为，如果人们认识到我们逐渐有多么地依赖互联网，
and how vulnerable it is, we could get focused on just wanting this other system to exist,
互联网是多么的脆弱，我们能够着眼于希望这样的系统存在，
and I think if enough people say, “Yeah, I would like to use it, I’d like to have such a system,” then it will get built.
并且我认为，如果足够多的人说：“是的，我想使用它，我愿意有这样一个系统”，它就会得以建立。
It’s not that hard a problem. It could definitely be done by people in this room.
这不是一个难题。甚至可以由在座的某位完成。
And so I think that this is actually, of all the problems you’re going to hear about at the conference,
因此我认为，实际上，在会议上将会听到的所有问题，
this is probably one of the very easiest to fix. So I’m happy to get a chance to tell you about it.
极有可能存在一种非常容易的解决方案。我很高兴有机会告诉你们这一点。
Thank you very much.
非常感谢。
演讲简介：
在1970年代和1980年代，互联网充满了慷慨的精神，那时互联网用户数量少，而且相距遥远。但如今，网络无处不在，它将数以十亿的用户、机器和重要的基础设施紧紧的联结在一起。让让我们非常容易受到网络攻击或崩溃。互联网先锋Danny Hillis认为互联网不是为这样的规模设计的，为我们吹响了设计B计划的号角：一个在互联网失效或者崩溃时可以运作的并行系统。
