I found this passion not far from here, actually, when I was nine years old. My family was on a road trip and we were in the Grand Canyon. 事实上，我找到热情的地方离这儿并不远，那年我九岁，我们全家一起自驾游到美国大峡谷。 And I had never been a reader when I was young — my dad had tried me with the Hardy Boys; I tried Nancy Drew; I tried all that — and I just did...

And it turned out that this machine happens to be the most reliable machine that we've ever made. 我发觉到这部机器正是人类有史以来创造过的最可靠的机器。 It has not crashed; it's running uninterrupted. And there's almost no other machine that we've ever made that runs the number of hours, the number of days. 它从不宕机，它永...
I was in Congo in February, dancing and celebrating with women who've survived the destruction of their selves in literally unthinkable ways — 二月份的时候我在刚果，与那些自我曾遭受难以想象的毁灭的女人们一起跳舞庆祝。 destroyed because other brutalized, psychopathic selves all over that beautiful land are fueling our selves' addiction to iPods, Pads, and bling,...
So the question is: What would the baby give her, what they liked or what she liked? 但大家都想知道：宝宝会给她什么，是贝蒂喜欢的还是自己喜欢的？ And the remarkable thing was that 18 month-old babies, just barely walking and talking, would give her the crackers if she liked the crackers, 让人惊讶的是18岁大的宝宝，虽然还没有开始走路和说话，给了贝蒂饼干如果她喜欢饼干， but the...
Not the bank's computer or Lockheed's computer, but the home computer was for games. 不是银行的电脑或洛克希德导弹与航天公司的电脑，家用电脑是用于游戏的。 For a whole decade it was for fun — we didn't even know what it was for. 对于整整一代来说，它是用于消遣–我们甚至不知道它是用于做什么的。 But what happened, the fact that we had this big industry, big...

So I decided to ask why. At first — the first thing I did was I emailed some professors who specialized in skeletal muscle physiology, 因此，我决定打破沙锅问到底。我做的第一件事是，发电子邮件给一些研究骨骼肌的教授。 and pretty much said, "Hey, it seems like cancer doesn't really go to skeletal muscle. 里面写道，“嘿，看来癌症确实不会转移到骨骼肌。 Is there a re...
As we move forward, we'll see new technologies also, like the Internet of Things. 随着人类社会向前发展，我们也会见证很多新科技的诞生，比如物联网。 Every day we're connecting more and more of our lives to the Internet, which means that the Internet of Things will soon be the Internet of Things To Be Hacked. 我们日复一日地将越来越多的个人生活与网络相连，这就意味着物联...
I think what we'll do is we'll see a successful, very successful, private space flight industry. 我认为我们要做的会让我们看到成功的，非常成功的私人太空飞船行业。 Whether we're first or not really doesn't matter. The Russians actually flew a supersonic transport before the Concorde. 无论我们是否是第一个真的并不重要。苏联人实际上在飞协和式飞机前就飞过超音速飞机...
I had this encounter recently where I met the extraordinary American poet Ruth Stone, 比方说，我最近见到杰出的美国诗人露丝.斯通， who's now in her 90s, but she's been a poet her entire life and she told me that when she was growing up in rural Virginia, 露丝已经九十多岁，她一直是一位诗人，她对我说她少年时生活在弗吉尼亚乡间的事情。 she would be out working in the fiel...
