過去簡單式

So, a few years ago I heard an interesting rumor.

譯者: Lilian Chiu 審譯者: Yuyang Zhao

Apparently, the head of a large pet food company

幾年前，我聽到了一個有趣的謠言。

would go into the annual shareholder's meeting

似乎是，有一家大型 寵物食品公司的經理

And this was his way of convincing them that if it was good enough for him,

這是他以此說服股東， 如果這狗食對他而言夠好，

This strategy is now known as "dogfooding,"

and it's a common strategy in the business world.

這個策略現在被稱為 「使用自家產品」，（吃狗食）

It doesn't mean everyone goes in and eats dog food,

but businesspeople will use their own products

這策略不表示每個人 都得要試吃狗食，

而是商人要使用他們自己的產品，

but I think what's really interesting is when you find exceptions

現在，這是一個十分普遍的做法，

但是我認為真正有趣的 是找到這個規則的例外，

when you find cases of businesses or people in businesses

就是當你找到企業或企業中的人

Turns out there's one industry where this happens in a common way,

結果是有一個產業經常有這種現象，

and that is the screen-based tech industry.

那就是以螢幕為基礎的科技產業。

So, in 2010, Steve Jobs, when he was releasing the iPad,

當史帝夫·賈伯斯 在 2010 年發表 iPad 時，

described the iPad as a device that was "extraordinary."

他將 iPad 描述是 一個「超凡」的裝置。

"The best browsing experience you've ever had;

「你不曾擁有過的最佳瀏覽體驗；

way better than a laptop, way better than a smartphone.

遠勝過筆記型電腦， 遠勝過智慧型手機。

A couple of months later, he was approached by a journalist

幾個月後，一位 紐約時報的記者採訪了他，

那位記者問了一個問題， 感覺不痛不癢問題。

the journalist threw in a question that seemed like a sort of softball.

記者對他說：「你的孩子 肯定非常喜愛 iPad。」

He said to him, "Your kids must love the iPad."

但是賈伯斯的回答卻讓記者很吃驚。

but what Jobs said really staggered the journalist.

因為賈伯斯說： 「他們還沒用過 iPad。

我們限制孩子在家中 使用電子產品。」

We limit how much technology our kids use at home."

This is a very common thing in the tech world.

事實上，離矽谷很近的一所學校

In fact, there's a school quite near Silicon Valley

called the Waldorf School of the Peninsula,

他們不會讓學生 在八年級以前接觸到螢幕。

and they don't introduce screens until the eighth grade.

What's really interesting about the school

is that 75 percent of the kids who go there

have parents who are high-level Silicon Valley tech execs.

所以當我聽到這件事， 我覺得它非常有趣也令人驚訝。

So when I heard about this, I thought it was interesting and surprising,

它促使我開始思考螢幕 對我、我的家人、我愛的人、

and it pushed me to consider what screens were doing to me

我一直在研究螢幕對 我們的生活所產生的影響。

as a professor of business and psychology,

我想先談談 我們在螢幕上花多少時間，

I've been studying the effect of screens on our lives.

接著我們可以再談談 那些時間的狀況。

And I want to start by just focusing on how much time they take from us,

我在這裡呈現給各位看的 是三個不同時間點的

and then we can talk about what that time looks like.

What I'm showing you here is the average 24-hour workday

以及我上週才收集的目前資料。

and then data that I collected, actually, only last week.

我們每天大約睡 7.5 到 8 小時；

有些人說這數字稍微下降了， 但變化不大。

We sleep roughly seven-and-a-half to eight hours a day;

some people say that's declined slightly, but it hasn't changed much.

We work eight-and-a-half to nine hours a day.

these are things like eating and bathing and looking after kids --

我們用這段時間做一些 使我們獨特的事。

我們用這段時間 進行嗜好，建立親密關係，

That space is incredibly important to us.

真正思考我們的人生，產生創意，

That's the space where we do things that make us individuals.

That's where hobbies happen, where we have close relationships,

where we really think about our lives, where we get creative,

and wonder what their lives have been like

他們會談到的是在 白色個人時間內發生的事。

所以那是很神聖的， 對我們很重要的。

they are talking about those moments that happen in that white personal space.

在歷史的不同時間點， 有多少個人時間被螢幕給佔據。

how much of that space is taken up by screens across time.

這是蘋果推出第一支 iPhone 的那一年。

That was the year that Apple introduced the first iPhone.

那就是我們在螢幕前面 所花的閒瑕時間。

很狹窄的這個黃色區段， 就是魔力發生的時候。

That's how much time we spend of that free time in front of our screens.

This yellow area, this thin sliver, is where the magic happens.

當然，現在的螢幕 在許多方面都是很神奇的。

我透過螢幕把家人介紹給兒子。
