TED演讲之性别无限:社交传媒和性别消失(2)

We're able to connect with people quite freely

我们能够更自由地与人联系在一起

and to redefine ourselves online.

在网上重新定义我们自己。

And we can lie about our age online, too, pretty easily.

在网上关于年龄问题我们能很容易地撒谎。

We can also connect with people

我们能按我们个人非常特别的喜好

based on our very specific interests.

来结识人们。

We don't need a media company

我们不需要一个媒体公司

to help do this for us.

帮助我们做这个。

So the traditional media companies, of course,

所以当然了,传统媒体公司

are paying very close attention to these online communities.

也特别关注这些在线社群。

They know this is the mass audience of the future;

他们知道这是未来的大众传媒。

they need to figure it out.

他们需要摸清这些人。

But they're having a hard time doing it

但是他们干的很困难

because they're still trying to use demographics in order to understand them,

因为他们还试图使用旧的人口统计学说来了解大众,

because that's how ad rates are still determined.

因为广告收视率是由这些陈规来统计的。

When they're monitoring your clickstream —

当他们监控你的点击流

and you know they are —

你知道

they have a really hard time

他们的确很难

figuring out your age, your gender and your income.

查出你的年龄,你的性别和你的收入。

They can make some educated guesses.

他们可以做一些学识方面的推测。

But they get a lot more information

但是他们得到的很多的信息

about what you do online,

是关于你在线做了什么,

what you like, what interests you.

你喜欢什么,你对什么感兴趣。

That's easier for them to find out than who you are.

这些他们很容易知道,但弄清你是谁就不容易了。

And even though that's still sort of creepy,

尽管这有点恐怖,

there is an upside

这也有个优势

to having your taste monitored.

就是监控你的喜好。

Suddenly our taste is being respected

突然我们的喜好备受尊重

in a way that it hasn't been before.

这在以前从来没有过。

It had been presumed before.

以前我们的喜好都是被假定的。

So when you look online at the way people aggregate,

当你上网看人们聚成社群的方式,

they don't aggregate

人们不是

around age, gender and income.

按年龄,性别和收入而走到一起。

They aggregate around the things they love,

人们而是按他们热爱的东西,

the things that they like,

他们喜爱的东西走到一起。

and if you think about it, shared interests and values

如果你想想看,人类要是按分享爱好和价值

are a far more powerful aggregator of human beings

而不是按统计类别来分,

than demographic categories.

这是一种更强大的聚合力。

I'd much rather know

我更愿意知道

whether you like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

你是否喜欢“吸血鬼猎人巴菲”

rather than how old you are.

而不是想知道你的年龄。

That would tell me something more substantial about you.

这会让我加深对你的了解。

Now there's something else that we've discovered about social media

目前我们关于社交传媒的一些其它发现

that's actually quite surprising.

的确非常令人惊喜。

It turns out that women

事实证明,女性

are really driving the social media revolution.

真正是社交传媒革命的驱动力。

If you look at the statistics —

如果你看看这些统计 —

these are worldwide statistics —

这些是全世界统计数据 —

in every single age category,

在每一个年龄组,

women actually outnumber men

在使用社交网络技术方面

in their use of social networking technologies.

女性都多于男性。

And then if you look at the amount of time

然后如果你看

that they spend on these sites,

女性在这些网站所花费的时间,

they truly dominate the social media space,

女性真正地主宰了社交媒体空间,

which is a space that's having a huge impact

这种社会媒体空间会

on old media.

对旧媒体产生巨大冲击。

The question is: what sort of impact

问题是,对我们文化

is this going to have on our culture,

它会起到什么影响,

and what's it going to mean for women?

对于女性这又意味着什么?

If the case is that social media

假如现在的情况是社交传媒

is dominating old media

逐渐主宰旧媒体

and women are dominating social media,

同时女性在主宰社会媒体,

then does that mean that women

那么是否意味着女性

are going to take over global media?

将会主宰全球媒体?

Are we suddenly going to see

我们是否会突然发现

a lot more female characters in cartoons

在卡通里,

and in games and on TV shows?

游戏中和电视秀上出现大量女性角色呢?

Will the next big-budget blockbuster movies

那么下一部大手笔的电影大片

actually be chick flicks?

会变成迎合女性消费者的肥皂剧吗?

Could this be possible,

有没有可能

that suddenly our media landscape

突然我们媒体天地

will become a feminist landscape?

变成女权主义天地?

Well, I actually don't think that's going to be the case.

好吧,我其实不认为会这样。

I think that media companies are going to hire a lot more women,

我认为媒体公司会雇佣更多的女性,

because they realize this is important for their business,

因为他们意识到这对他们行业来说很重要。

and I think that women

我认为女性

are also going to continue to dominate

也会继续主宰

the social media sphere.

社交传媒的领域。
