1
00:00:00,714 --> 00:00:02,041
Hey guys.

2
00:00:02,041 --> 00:00:03,811
It's funny, someone just mentioned MacGyver,

3
00:00:03,811 --> 00:00:05,751
because that was, like, I loved it,

4
00:00:05,751 --> 00:00:11,071
and when I was seven, I taped a fork to a drill

5
00:00:11,071 --> 00:00:13,792
and I was like, "Hey, Mom, I'm going to Olive Garden."

6
00:00:13,792 --> 00:00:17,943
And -- (Drilling noise) (Laughter)

7
00:00:17,943 --> 00:00:20,875
And it worked really well there.

8
00:00:20,875 --> 00:00:24,696
And you know, it had a profound effect on me.

9
00:00:24,696 --> 00:00:26,924
It sounds silly, but I thought, okay,

10
00:00:26,924 --> 00:00:29,796
the way the world works can be changed,

11
00:00:29,796 --> 00:00:31,947
and it can be changed by me in these small ways.

12
00:00:31,947 --> 00:00:33,661
And my relationship to

13
00:00:33,661 --> 00:00:35,153
especially human-made objects

14
00:00:35,153 --> 00:00:37,038
which someone else said they work like this,

15
00:00:37,038 --> 00:00:40,188
well, I can say they work a different way, a little bit.

16
00:00:40,188 --> 00:00:42,686
And so, about 20 years later,

17
00:00:42,686 --> 00:00:44,194
I didn't realize the full effect of this,

18
00:00:44,194 --> 00:00:45,971
but I went to Costa Rica

19
00:00:45,971 --> 00:00:48,138
and I stayed with these Guaymí natives there,

20
00:00:48,138 --> 00:00:51,640
and they could pull leaves off of trees and make shingles out of them,

21
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,809
and they could make beds out of trees,

22
00:00:54,809 --> 00:00:57,043
and they could -- I watched this woman for three days.

23
00:00:57,043 --> 00:01:00,290
I was there. She was peeling this palm frond apart,

24
00:01:00,290 --> 00:01:03,427
these little threads off of it, and she'd roll the threads together

25
00:01:03,427 --> 00:01:06,145
and make little thicker threads, like strings,

26
00:01:06,145 --> 00:01:08,966
and she would weave the strings together,

27
00:01:08,966 --> 00:01:12,446
and as the materiality of this exact very bag

28
00:01:12,446 --> 00:01:15,334
formed before my eyes over those three days,

29
00:01:15,334 --> 00:01:18,641
the materiality of the way the world works,

30
00:01:18,641 --> 00:01:21,115
of reality, kind of started to unravel in my mind,

31
00:01:21,115 --> 00:01:24,463
because I realized that this bag and these clothes

32
00:01:24,463 --> 00:01:26,847
and the trampoline you have at home and the pencil sharpener,

33
00:01:26,847 --> 00:01:30,980
everything you have is made out of either a tree or a rock

34
00:01:30,980 --> 00:01:33,324
or something we dug out of the ground and did some process to,

35
00:01:33,324 --> 00:01:37,235
maybe a more complicated one, but still, everything was made that way.

36
00:01:37,235 --> 00:01:39,427
And so I had to start studying,

37
00:01:39,427 --> 00:01:41,137
who is it that's making these decisions?

38
00:01:41,137 --> 00:01:42,946
Who's making these things? How did they make them?

39
00:01:42,946 --> 00:01:44,440
What stops us from making them?

40
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,345
Because this is how reality is created.

41
00:01:47,345 --> 00:01:49,932
So I started right away. I was at MIT Media Lab,

42
00:01:49,932 --> 00:01:52,481
and I was studying the maker movement

43
00:01:52,481 --> 00:01:54,031
and makers and creativity.

44
00:01:54,031 --> 00:01:56,158
And I started in nature, because I saw these Guaymís

45
00:01:56,158 --> 00:01:59,203
doing it in nature, and there just seems to be less barriers.

46
00:01:59,203 --> 00:02:02,548
So I went to Vermont to Not Back to School Camp,

47
00:02:02,548 --> 00:02:05,800
where there's unschoolers who are just kind of hanging out

48
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,287
and willing to try anything.

49
00:02:07,287 --> 00:02:09,580
So I said, "Let's go into the woods near this stream

50
00:02:09,580 --> 00:02:11,609
and just put stuff together, you know, make something,

51
00:02:11,609 --> 00:02:14,196
I don't care, geometrical shapes, just grab some junk from around you.

52
00:02:14,196 --> 00:02:15,845
We won't bring anything with us.

53
00:02:15,845 --> 00:02:18,364
And, like, within minutes, this is very easy for adults

54
00:02:18,364 --> 00:02:19,452
and teens to do.

55
00:02:19,452 --> 00:02:22,587
Here's a triangle that was being formed underneath a flowing stream,

56
00:02:22,587 --> 00:02:25,171
and the shape of an oak leaf being made

57
00:02:25,171 --> 00:02:28,365
by other small oak leaves being put together.

58
00:02:28,365 --> 00:02:31,102
A leaf tied to a stick with a blade of grass.

59
00:02:31,102 --> 00:02:33,798
The materiality and fleshiness and meat of the mushroom

60
00:02:33,798 --> 00:02:37,170
being explored by how it can hold up different objects being stuck into it.

61
00:02:37,170 --> 00:02:40,735
And after about 45 minutes, you get really intricate projects

62
00:02:40,735 --> 00:02:43,962
like leaves sorted by hue, so you get a color fade

63
00:02:43,962 --> 00:02:45,806
and put in a circle like a wreath.

64
00:02:45,806 --> 00:02:48,422
And the creator of this, he said,

65
00:02:48,422 --> 00:02:50,092
"This is fire. I call this fire."

66
00:02:50,092 --> 00:02:52,319
And someone asked him, "How do you get those sticks

67
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,080
to stay on that tree?"

68
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,190
And he's like, "I don't know, but I can show you."

69
00:02:57,190 --> 00:02:58,822
And I'm like, "Wow, that's really amazing.

70
00:02:58,822 --> 00:03:00,205
He doesn't know, but he can show you."

71
00:03:00,205 --> 00:03:02,785
So his hands know and his intuition knows,

72
00:03:02,785 --> 00:03:05,641
but sometimes what we know gets in the way

73
00:03:05,641 --> 00:03:07,678
of what could be, especially

74
00:03:07,678 --> 00:03:10,605
when it comes to the human-made, human-built world.

75
00:03:10,605 --> 00:03:12,902
We think we already know how something works,

76
00:03:12,902 --> 00:03:15,045
so we can't imagine how it could work.

77
00:03:15,045 --> 00:03:16,391
We know how it's supposed to work,

78
00:03:16,391 --> 00:03:19,798
so we can't suppose all the things that could be possible.

79
00:03:19,798 --> 00:03:23,645
So kids don't have as hard of a time with this,

80
00:03:23,645 --> 00:03:26,930
and I saw in my own son, I gave him this book.

81
00:03:26,930 --> 00:03:29,138
I'm a good hippie dad, so I'm like,

82
00:03:29,138 --> 00:03:31,315
"Okay, you're going to learn to love the moon.

83
00:03:31,315 --> 00:03:33,648
I'm going to give you some building blocks

84
00:03:33,648 --> 00:03:36,798
and they're nonrectilinear cactus building blocks,

85
00:03:36,798 --> 00:03:38,612
so it's totally legit."

86
00:03:38,612 --> 00:03:40,886
But he doesn't really know what to do with these.

87
00:03:40,886 --> 00:03:42,458
I didn't show him.

88
00:03:42,458 --> 00:03:43,966
And so he's like, "Okay, I'll just mess around with this."

89
00:03:43,966 --> 00:03:47,869
This is no different than the sticks are to the teens in the forest.

90
00:03:47,869 --> 00:03:50,341
Just going to try to put them in shapes

91
00:03:50,341 --> 00:03:52,117
and push on them and stuff.

92
00:03:52,117 --> 00:03:54,781
And before long, he's kind of got this mechanism

93
00:03:54,781 --> 00:03:58,451
where you can almost launch and catapult objects around,

94
00:03:58,451 --> 00:04:00,716
and he enlists us in helping him.

95
00:04:00,716 --> 00:04:02,651
And at this point, I'm starting to wonder,

96
00:04:02,651 --> 00:04:05,452
what kind of tools can we give people,

97
00:04:05,452 --> 00:04:08,406
especially adults, who know too much,

98
00:04:08,406 --> 00:04:10,697
so that they can see the world as malleable,

99
00:04:10,697 --> 00:04:12,174
so they see themselves as agents of change

100
00:04:12,174 --> 00:04:13,636
in their everyday lives.

101
00:04:13,636 --> 00:04:16,122
Because the most advanced scientists are really

102
00:04:16,122 --> 00:04:18,854
just kind of pushing the way the world itself works,

103
00:04:18,854 --> 00:04:20,031
pushing what matter can do,

104
00:04:20,031 --> 00:04:22,812
the most advanced artists are just pushing the medium,

105
00:04:22,812 --> 00:04:24,758
and any sufficiently complicated task,

106
00:04:24,758 --> 00:04:27,683
whether you're a cook or a carpenter or you're raising a child --

107
00:04:27,683 --> 00:04:29,369
anything that's complicated --

108
00:04:29,369 --> 00:04:31,896
comes up with problems that aren't solved in the middle of it,

109
00:04:31,896 --> 00:04:35,222
and you can't do a good job getting it done unless you can say,

110
00:04:35,222 --> 00:04:37,350
"Okay, well we're just going to have to refigure this.

111
00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:40,029
I don't care that pencils are supposed to be for writing.

112
00:04:40,029 --> 00:04:42,214
I'm going to use them a different way."

113
00:04:42,214 --> 00:04:47,013
So let me show you a little demo.

114
00:04:47,013 --> 00:04:51,575
This is a little piano circuit right in here,

115
00:04:51,575 --> 00:04:53,666
and this is an ordinary paintbrush

116
00:04:53,666 --> 00:04:56,661
that I smashed it together with. (Beeping)

117
00:04:56,661 --> 00:04:58,524
And so, with some ketchup,

118
00:04:58,524 --> 00:05:01,998
— (musical notes) —

119
00:05:01,998 --> 00:05:03,287
and then I can kind of

120
00:05:03,287 --> 00:05:09,782
— (musical notes) —

121
00:05:09,782 --> 00:05:11,741
(Laughter) (Applause)

122
00:05:11,741 --> 00:05:14,464
And that's awesome, right?

123
00:05:14,464 --> 00:05:15,774
But this is not what's awesome.

124
00:05:15,774 --> 00:05:17,336
What's awesome is what happens

125
00:05:17,336 --> 00:05:20,755
when you give the piano circuit to people.

126
00:05:20,755 --> 00:05:22,138
A pencil is not just a pencil.

127
00:05:22,138 --> 00:05:23,806
Look what it has in the middle of it.

128
00:05:23,806 --> 00:05:26,558
That's a wire running down the middle,

129
00:05:26,558 --> 00:05:27,999
and not only is it a wire,

130
00:05:27,999 --> 00:05:30,359
if you take that piano circuit, you can thumbtack

131
00:05:30,359 --> 00:05:32,298
into the middle of a pencil,

132
00:05:32,298 --> 00:05:35,218
and you can lay out wire on the page, too,

133
00:05:35,218 --> 00:05:37,639
and get electrical current to run through it.

134
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:39,521
And so you can kind of hack a pencil,

135
00:05:39,521 --> 00:05:45,042
just by thumbtacking into it with a little piano electrical circuit.

136
00:05:45,042 --> 00:05:46,982
And the electricity runs through your body too.

137
00:05:46,982 --> 00:05:50,328
And then you can take the little piano circuit off the pencil.

138
00:05:50,328 --> 00:05:53,782
You can make one of these brushes just on the fly.

139
00:05:53,782 --> 00:05:55,589
All you do is connect to the bristles,

140
00:05:55,589 --> 00:05:57,581
and the bristles are wet, so they conduct,

141
00:05:57,581 --> 00:06:00,150
and the person's body conducts,

142
00:06:00,150 --> 00:06:02,149
and leather is great to paint on,

143
00:06:02,149 --> 00:06:04,854
and then you can start hooking to everything,

144
00:06:04,854 --> 00:06:05,849
even the kitchen sink.

145
00:06:05,849 --> 00:06:07,768
The metal in the sink is conductive.

146
00:06:07,768 --> 00:06:11,321
Flowing water acts like a theremin or a violin.

147
00:06:11,321 --> 00:06:16,303
(Musical notes)

148
00:06:16,303 --> 00:06:17,557
And you can even hook to the trees.

149
00:06:17,557 --> 00:06:20,953
Anything in the world is either conductive or not conductive,

150
00:06:20,953 --> 00:06:22,727
and you can use those together.

151
00:06:22,727 --> 00:06:24,183
So — (Laughter) —

152
00:06:24,183 --> 00:06:27,338
I took this to those same teens, because those teens are

153
00:06:27,338 --> 00:06:29,795
really awesome, and they'll try things that I won't try.

154
00:06:29,795 --> 00:06:32,778
I don't even have access to a facial piercing if I wanted to.

155
00:06:32,778 --> 00:06:36,799
And this young woman, she made what she called a hula-looper,

156
00:06:36,799 --> 00:06:39,212
and as the hula hoop traveled around her body,

157
00:06:39,212 --> 00:06:41,983
she has a circuit taped to her shirt right there.

158
00:06:41,983 --> 00:06:44,024
You can see her pointing to it in the picture.

159
00:06:44,024 --> 00:06:46,440
And every time the hula hoop would smush against her body,

160
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,623
it would connect two little pieces of copper tape,

161
00:06:48,623 --> 00:06:50,359
and it would make a sound, and the next sound,

162
00:06:50,359 --> 00:06:52,895
and it would loop the same sounds over and over again.

163
00:06:52,895 --> 00:06:54,824
I ran these workshops everywhere.

164
00:06:54,824 --> 00:06:57,834
In Taiwan, at an art museum, this 12-year-old girl

165
00:06:57,834 --> 00:07:01,496
made a mushroom organ out of some mushrooms that were from Taiwan

166
00:07:01,496 --> 00:07:03,280
and some electrical tape and hot glue.

167
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:05,361
And professional designers were making artifacts

168
00:07:05,361 --> 00:07:07,140
with this thing strapped onto it.

169
00:07:07,140 --> 00:07:09,354
And big companies like Intel

170
00:07:09,354 --> 00:07:13,007
or smaller design firms like Ideo or startups like Bump,

171
00:07:13,007 --> 00:07:14,559
were inviting me to give workshops,

172
00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:16,954
just to practice this idea of smashing electronics

173
00:07:16,954 --> 00:07:18,786
and everyday objects together.

174
00:07:18,786 --> 00:07:21,447
And then we came up with this idea

175
00:07:21,447 --> 00:07:23,235
to not just use electronics,

176
00:07:23,235 --> 00:07:26,207
but let's just smash computers with everyday objects

177
00:07:26,207 --> 00:07:28,767
and see how that goes over.

178
00:07:28,767 --> 00:07:32,366
And so I just want to do a quick demo.

179
00:07:32,366 --> 00:07:34,991
So this is the MaKey MaKey circuit,

180
00:07:34,991 --> 00:07:37,890
and I'm just going to set it up from the beginning in front of you.

181
00:07:37,890 --> 00:07:41,923
So I'll just plug it in, and now it's on by USB.

182
00:07:41,923 --> 00:07:44,560
And I'll just hook up the forward arrow.

183
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,001
You guys are facing that way, so I'll hook it to this one.

184
00:07:48,001 --> 00:07:51,647
And I'll just hook up a little ground wire to it.

185
00:07:51,647 --> 00:07:54,171
And now, if I touch this piece of pizza,

186
00:07:54,171 --> 00:07:57,235
the slides that I showed you before should go forward.

187
00:07:57,235 --> 00:08:00,667
And now if I hook up this wire just by connecting it

188
00:08:00,667 --> 00:08:03,939
to the left arrow, I'm kind of programming it by where I hook it up,

189
00:08:03,939 --> 00:08:06,960
now I have a left arrow and a right arrow,

190
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,160
so I should be able to go forwards and backwards

191
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,264
and forwards and backwards. Awesome.

192
00:08:12,264 --> 00:08:14,808
And so we're like, "We gotta put a video out about this."

193
00:08:14,808 --> 00:08:17,376
Because no one really believed that this was important

194
00:08:17,376 --> 00:08:20,355
or meaningful except me and, like, one other guy.

195
00:08:20,355 --> 00:08:22,040
So we made a video to prove that

196
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,580
there's lots of stuff you can do.

197
00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:25,612
You can kind of sketch with Play-Doh

198
00:08:25,612 --> 00:08:29,546
and just Google for game controllers.

199
00:08:29,546 --> 00:08:32,233
Just ordinary Play-Doh, nothing special.

200
00:08:32,233 --> 00:08:33,934
And you can literally draw joysticks

201
00:08:33,934 --> 00:08:41,057
and just find Pacman on your computer and then just hook it up. (Video game noises)

202
00:08:41,057 --> 00:08:44,560
And you know the little plastic drawers you can get at Target?

203
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:46,768
Well, if you take those out, they hold water great,

204
00:08:46,768 --> 00:08:48,904
but you can totally cut your toes,

205
00:08:48,904 --> 00:08:51,592
so yeah, just be careful.

206
00:08:51,592 --> 00:08:54,464
You know the Happiness Project, where the experts

207
00:08:54,464 --> 00:08:57,222
are setting up the piano stairs, and how cool that is?

208
00:08:57,222 --> 00:08:58,432
Well, I think it's cool,

209
00:08:58,432 --> 00:09:00,775
but we should be doing that stuff ourselves.

210
00:09:00,775 --> 00:09:03,858
It shouldn't be a set of experts engineering the way the world works.

211
00:09:03,858 --> 00:09:05,833
We should all be participating

212
00:09:05,833 --> 00:09:07,753
in changing the way the world works together.

213
00:09:07,753 --> 00:09:09,940
Aluminum foil. Everybody has a cat.

214
00:09:09,940 --> 00:09:13,124
Get a bowl of water. This is just Photo Booth on your Mac OS.

215
00:09:13,124 --> 00:09:15,184
Hover the mouse over the "take a photo" button,

216
00:09:15,184 --> 00:09:16,759
and you've got a little cat photo booth.

217
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:19,448
And so we needed hundreds of people to buy this.

218
00:09:19,448 --> 00:09:22,536
If hundreds of people didn't buy this, we couldn't put it on the market.

219
00:09:22,536 --> 00:09:25,437
And so we put it up on Kickstarter,

220
00:09:25,437 --> 00:09:28,432
and hundreds of people bought it in the first day.

221
00:09:28,432 --> 00:09:29,458
And then 30 days later,

222
00:09:29,458 --> 00:09:32,725
11,000 people had backed the project.

223
00:09:32,725 --> 00:09:34,840
And then what the best part is, we started getting

224
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,912
a flood of videos in of people doing crazy things with it.

225
00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:41,574
So this is "The Star-Spangled Banner" by eating lunch,

226
00:09:41,574 --> 00:09:43,648
including drinking Listerine.

227
00:09:43,648 --> 00:09:45,114
And we actually sent this guy materials.

228
00:09:45,114 --> 00:09:46,595
We're like, "We're sponsoring you, man.

229
00:09:46,595 --> 00:09:48,705
You're, like, a pro maker."

230
00:09:48,705 --> 00:09:52,320
Okay, just wait for this one. This is good.

231
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,139
(Laughter)

232
00:09:54,139 --> 00:09:57,624
(Applause)

233
00:09:57,624 --> 00:09:59,501
And these guys at the exploratorium are

234
00:09:59,501 --> 00:10:02,466
playing house plants as if they were drums.

235
00:10:04,723 --> 00:10:08,297
And dads and daughters are completing circuits in special ways.

236
00:10:08,297 --> 00:10:10,649
And then this brother -- look at this diagram.

237
00:10:10,649 --> 00:10:11,937
See where it says "sister"?

238
00:10:11,937 --> 00:10:14,393
I love when people put humans on the diagram.

239
00:10:14,393 --> 00:10:16,861
I always add humans to any technical --

240
00:10:16,861 --> 00:10:18,993
if you're drawing a technical diagram, put a human in it.

241
00:10:18,993 --> 00:10:23,463
And this kid is so sweet. He made this trampoline slideshow advancer for his sister

242
00:10:23,463 --> 00:10:25,536
so that on her birthday, she could be the star of the show,

243
00:10:25,536 --> 00:10:28,281
jumping on the trampoline to advance the slides.

244
00:10:28,281 --> 00:10:31,289
And this guy rounded up his dogs and he made a dog piano.

245
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:36,579
And this is fun,

246
00:10:36,579 --> 00:10:39,466
and what could be more useful than feeling alive and fun?

247
00:10:39,466 --> 00:10:41,986
But it's also very serious because

248
00:10:41,986 --> 00:10:44,154
all this accessibility stuff started coming up,

249
00:10:44,154 --> 00:10:47,110
where people can't use computers, necessarily.

250
00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:49,802
Like this dad who wrote us, his son has cerebral palsy

251
00:10:49,802 --> 00:10:51,674
and he can't use a normal keyboard.

252
00:10:51,674 --> 00:10:55,245
And so his dad couldn't necessarily afford

253
00:10:55,245 --> 00:10:57,087
to buy all these custom controllers.

254
00:10:57,087 --> 00:10:58,713
And so, with the MaKey MaKey, he planned to make

255
00:10:58,713 --> 00:11:01,607
these gloves to allow him to navigate the web.

256
00:11:01,607 --> 00:11:03,767
And a huge eruption of discussion

257
00:11:03,767 --> 00:11:06,722
around accessibility came, and we're really excited about that.

258
00:11:06,722 --> 00:11:08,623
We didn't plan for that at all.

259
00:11:08,623 --> 00:11:11,431
And then all these professional musicians started using it,

260
00:11:11,431 --> 00:11:13,559
like at Coachella, just this weekend

261
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,711
Jurassic 5 was using this onstage,

262
00:11:16,711 --> 00:11:20,412
and this D.J. is just from Brooklyn, right around here,

263
00:11:20,412 --> 00:11:22,423
and he put this up last month.

264
00:11:22,423 --> 00:11:24,527
And I love the carrot on the turntable.

265
00:11:24,527 --> 00:11:31,355
(Music: Massive Attack — "Teardrop")

266
00:11:31,355 --> 00:11:34,101
Most people cannot play them that way. (Laughter)

267
00:11:34,101 --> 00:11:35,523
And when this started to get serious,

268
00:11:35,523 --> 00:11:38,950
I thought, I'd better put a really serious warning label on the box that this comes in,

269
00:11:38,950 --> 00:11:40,652
because otherwise people are going to be getting this

270
00:11:40,652 --> 00:11:42,891
and they're going to be turning into agents of creative change,

271
00:11:42,891 --> 00:11:44,183
and governments will be crumbling,

272
00:11:44,183 --> 00:11:46,542
and I wouldn't have told people, so I thought I'd better warn them.

273
00:11:46,542 --> 00:11:48,871
And I also put this little surprise. When you open the lid

274
00:11:48,871 --> 00:11:51,731
of the box, it says, "The world is a construction kit."

275
00:11:51,731 --> 00:11:53,578
And as you start to mess around this way,

276
00:11:53,578 --> 00:11:56,677
I think that, in some small ways, you do start to see

277
00:11:56,677 --> 00:11:58,729
the landscape of your everyday life

278
00:11:58,729 --> 00:12:01,622
a little bit more like something you could express yourself with,

279
00:12:01,622 --> 00:12:03,861
and a little bit more like you could participate

280
00:12:03,861 --> 00:12:06,325
in designing the future of the way the world works.

281
00:12:06,325 --> 00:12:10,113
And so next time you're on an escalator

282
00:12:10,113 --> 00:12:11,789
and you drop an M&M by accident,

283
00:12:11,789 --> 00:12:14,949
you know, maybe that's an M&M surfboard, not an escalator,

284
00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:16,156
so don't pick it up right away.

285
00:12:16,156 --> 00:12:18,344
Maybe take some more stuff out of your pockets

286
00:12:18,344 --> 00:12:21,653
and throw it down, and maybe some chapstick, whatever.

287
00:12:21,653 --> 00:12:26,615
I used to want to design a utopian society

288
00:12:26,615 --> 00:12:28,987
or a perfect world or something like that.

289
00:12:28,987 --> 00:12:30,441
But as I'm kind of getting older

290
00:12:30,441 --> 00:12:32,017
and kind of messing with all this stuff,

291
00:12:32,017 --> 00:12:34,785
I'm realizing that my idea of a perfect world

292
00:12:34,785 --> 00:12:36,801
really can't be designed by one person

293
00:12:36,801 --> 00:12:38,357
or even by a million experts.

294
00:12:38,357 --> 00:12:41,525
It's really going to be seven billion pairs of hands,

295
00:12:41,525 --> 00:12:43,933
each following their own passions,

296
00:12:43,933 --> 00:12:46,121
and each kind of like a mosaic coming up

297
00:12:46,121 --> 00:12:47,622
and creating this world in their backyards

298
00:12:47,622 --> 00:12:49,130
and in their kitchens.

299
00:12:49,130 --> 00:12:51,696
And that's the world I really want to live in.

300
00:12:51,696 --> 00:12:53,080
Thank you.

301
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:58,611
(Applause)
