What is going to be the future of learning?

but in order for me to tell you what that plan is,

但是爲了告訴你這個計劃是怎樣的，

where did the kind of learning we do in schools,

我們今天在學校裡的教育方式，

這個問題的答案當然可以追溯到很久以前，

but if you look at present-day schooling the way it is,

但是只要你看看今天學校教育的方式，

it's quite easy to figure out where it came from.

and the biggest of the empires on this planet. ["The British Empire"]

且最大的帝國(大不列顛帝國)。

with data handwritten on pieces of paper,

但是維多利亞女王時代的人們做到了。

It's called the bureaucratic administrative machine.

They made another machine to produce those people:

他們建造了另一台機器來生產這些人 ：

他們必須是完全標準的、可替換的。

They must have good handwriting, because the data is handwritten;

他們必須會寫字，因為數據是手寫的；

and they must be able to do multiplication,

division, addition and subtraction in their head.

They must be so identical that you could pick one up from New Zealand

如果你從他們中任挑一個從紐西蘭運到加拿大，

維多利亞時代是偉大工程師的時代

They engineered a system that was so robust

即便那個控制全球的機器已經不存在了。

這個製造一模一樣人的機器怎麼辦，

if we ever are going to do anything else with it?

如果我們真的需要做些什麽的話？

“我們所知的學校已經過時了”

我知道這是一個令人難以接受的觀點。

I said schools as we know them now, they're obsolete.

但是，我只說我們現在所知的學校過時了。

It's quite fashionable to say that the education system's broken.

現在很流行說我們的教育體系壞掉了。

It's not broken. It's wonderfully constructed.

它沒有壞掉。它簡直構建地太完美了。

It's just that we don't need it anymore. It's outdated.

只是我們不再需要它了，它過時了。

What are the kind of jobs that we have today?

They're there in thousands in every office.

And you have people who guide those computers

Those people don't need to be able to write beautifully by hand.

They don't need to be able to multiply numbers in their heads.

In fact, they need to be able to read discerningly.

實際上，他們只要會區分不同的字符就足夠了。

Well, that's today, but we don't even know

what the jobs of the future are going to look like.

但我們根本不知道未來的工作會變得怎樣。

We know that people will work from wherever they want,

我們知道人們可以在任何地方上班，

whenever they want, in whatever way they want.

任何時間上班，用任何方式上班。

How is present-day schooling going to prepare them

可是，我們現在的學校要怎樣讓學生

Well, I bumped into this whole thing completely by accident.

其實我初次思考這個問題完全是湊巧，

I used to teach people how to write computer programs

And right next to where I used to work, there was a slum.

而緊靠著我工作的地方就有一個貧民窟，

And I used to think, how on Earth are those kids

ever going to learn to write computer programs?

那些貧民窟的孩子才能學會寫電腦程式？

At the same time, we also had lots of parents,

同時，我們有很多有錢的家長，

and who used to tell me, "You know, my son,

時不時告訴我：“我那個兒子啊，

because he does wonderful things with computers.

他用電腦做了很多很多了不起的事

And my daughter -- oh, surely she is extra-intelligent."

還有我女兒--哦，我肯定她智商超群。”

就像這樣一直講下去。所以我突然就想，

and stuck a computer inside it just to see what would happen

然後把一台電腦放進洞裡。我想知道的是，

if I gave a computer to children who never would have one,

如果我把一台電腦給一個不懂英語

didn't know any English, didn't know what the Internet was.

不知道網際網路，且從沒有碰過電腦的孩子，會發生甚麼事。

It was three feet off the ground, and they said, "What is this?"

指著離地三英寸的那台電腦問我：“這是什麽？”

然後我說：“這個嘛，它是......我也不知道。”
