Let me share and close with a story that really got me excited. There is a program that some of you might have heard of.
讓我來分享一個故事作為結尾，這個故事讓我非常興奮。在座的有一些可能聽說過這個項目。
It's a game called Foldit. It came out of the University of Washington in Seattle.
是一個叫做Foldit的游戲。它來自西雅圖的華盛頓大學。
And this is a game where individuals can actually take a sequence of amino acids and figure out how the protein is going to fold.
它是一個能讓個人獲取一個氨基酸序列，并分析出其中的蛋白質是如何折疊的。
And how it folds dictates its structure and its functionality. And it's very important for research in medicine. And up until now, it's been a supercomputer problem.
其折疊的方式決定了該氨基酸的結構和功能。這是非常重要的醫學研究。直到目前，這都還是一個由超級電腦來處理的問題。
And this game has been played by university professors and so forth. And it's literally, hundreds of thousands of people came online and started playing it.
這個游戲起先是給大學教授玩。然后成百上千的人也上線開始玩這個游戲。
And it showed that, in fact, today, the human pattern recognition machinery is better at folding proteins than the best computers.
它也展示出時至今日，人類的模式辨識機能仍然要比最好的電腦都要強。
And when these individuals went and looked at who was the best protein folder in the world, it wasn't an MIT professor,
當大家排列出最好的蛋白質折疊專家時，并不是MIT的教授，
it wasn't a CalTech student, it was a person from England, from Manchester, a woman who,
也不是加州理工學院的學生，而是一位來自曼徹斯特的英國女性。
during the day, was an executive assistant at a rehab clinic and, at night, was the world's best protein folder.
白天在一家康復治療整所行政助理的工作，而夜晚也是全世界最好的蛋白質折疊專家。
Ladies and gentlemen, what gives me tremendous confidence in the future is the fact that we are now more empowered as individuals to take on the grand challenges of this planet.
女士們先生們，給予我對未來巨大信心的，是我們每一位作為個人都被賦予挑戰全世界面臨的難題的能力。
We have the tools with this exponential technology. We have the passion of the DIY innovator.
我們擁有快速發展的科技和工具，也有DIY發明家的激情。
We have the capital of the techno-philanthropist. And we have three billion new minds coming online to work with us to solve the grand challenges,
大家都有能力成為技術－慈善家。同時還有30億新的用戶來到線上與我們合作一起解決巨大的挑戰，
to do that which we must do. We are living into extraordinary decades ahead. Thank you.
做到我們必須要做的事情。我們正要迎來卓越的幾十年。謝謝大家。
