and in my recent work I've been a bit of a pessimist.

So I thought this morning I would try to be the optimist,

所以我今早決定要讓自己樂觀一點，

Now, it may seem like there is less hope today than there was before.

People are less kind. There is less trust around.

現在的人好像沒以前那麼充滿希望，

這我可不確定。舉個簡單的例子

So that's one reason to think that we might be

這可不是因為大眾運輸有了改善...

declensionists, going in the wrong direction.

世風日下、人心不古的原因之一。

So example number one: the Internet itself.

而且網際網路一路上推波助瀾。

These are three of the founders of the Internet.

They were actually high school classmates together

at the same high school in suburban Los Angles in the 1960s.

You might have had a French club or a Debate club.

1960年代就讀於洛杉磯市郊的同一所高中。

They had a "Let's build a global network" club,

高中時你可能會參加法文社或辯論社，

They are pictured here for their 25th anniversary

「共同打造全球網路」社，結果還真不錯。

這張是新聞週刊回顧網際網路報導

為他們拍的慶祝25年週年照片。

試圖構作全球網路時，他們得克服

as they tried to conceive of a global network.

The limitation was that they didn't have any money.

No particular amount of capital to invest,

and a hub to move packages around overnight.

或轉運中心，隔夜就可以把貨物送到。

which was they didn't have to make any money from it.

The Internet has no business plan, never did.

也就是他們不必從這頂上賺什麼錢。

網際網路沒有營運計畫，從來沒有，

no firm responsible, singly, for building it.

也沒有單獨的一家公司負責打造網際網路。

or because they were expecting to make a mint off of it.

That ethos led to a network architecture,

也不是他們當時想靠這個發財。

那樣的特質導致一種網路架構，

其後的其它數位網路也無法比擬。

that it was said that it's not clear the Internet could work.

那時大家也搞不懂網際網路是否行得通。

you couldn't possibly build a corporate network

And even some Internet engineers today say

the whole thing is a pilot project and the jury is still out.

網路工程師說這只是個試行計畫，還沒有定論。

That's why the mascot of Internet engineering,

if it had one, is said to be the bumblebee.

因此有人說，若要幫網際網路選定吉祥物的話，

Because the fur-to-wingspan ratio of the bumblebee

is far too large for it to be able to fly.

因為大黃蜂翅膀小，身體又太大得不成比例，

And yet, mysteriously, somehow the bee flies.

I'm pleased to say that, thanks to massive government funding,

但很奇怪的是，這些蜜蜂還是飛了起來。

about three years ago we finally figured out

我很高興在此宣布，感謝政府的大力資助，

It's very complicated, but it turns out they

So what is this bizarre architecture configuration

that makes the network sing and be so unusual?

讓網路合唱得如此美妙與特別呢？

from one place to another -- again, it's not like a package courier.

傳送資料到另一個地方，這並不像包裹快遞，

And, in a way, that's exactly how packets move around the Internet,

某個程度上來說，這正是網路傳遞封包的方式，

having no particular contractual or legal obligation

Now, of course, in a mosh pit it's hard to specify a destination.

當然，在魔秀舞池裡很難料定目的地，

but it's not like, "I'm trying to get to Pensacola, please."
