演讲文本

We don't need a media company

They know this is the mass audience of the future;

they need to figure it out.
他们需要摸清这些人。
But they're having a hard time doing it
但是他们干的很困难
because they're still trying to use demographics in order to understand them,
因为他们还试图使用旧的人口统计学说来了解大众,
because that's how ad rates are still determined.

When they're monitoring your clickstream --

figuring out your age, your gender and your income.

about what you do online,

what you like, what interests you.

That's easier for them to find out than who you are.
这些他们很容易知道,但弄清你是谁就不容易了。
And even though that's still sort of creepy,

there is an upside

So when you look online at the way people aggregate,
当你上网看人们聚成社群的方式,
they don't aggregate
人们不是
around age, gender and income.
按年龄,性别和收入而走到一起。
They aggregate around the things they love,
人们而是按他们热爱的东西,
the things that they like,
他们喜爱的东西走到一起。
and if you think about it, shared interests and values
如果你想想看,人类要是按分享爱好和价值
are a far more powerful aggregator of human beings
而不是按统计类别来分,
than demographic categories.
这是一种更强大的聚合力。
I'd much rather know
我更愿意知道
whether you like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
你是否喜欢“吸血鬼猎人巴菲”
rather than how old you are.
而不是想知道你的年龄。
That would tell me something more substantial about you.
这会让我加深对你的了解。
Now there's something else that we've discovered about social media
目前我们关于社交传媒的一些其它发现
that's actually quite surprising.

And then if you look at the amount of time
然后如果你看
that they spend on these sites,

they truly dominate the social media space,
女性真正地主宰了社交媒体空间,
which is a space that's having a huge impact
这种社会媒体空间会
on old media.

The question is: what sort of impact
问题是,对我们文化
is this going to have on our culture,
它会起到什么影响,
and what's it going to mean for women?
对于女性这又意味着什么?
If the case is that social media
假如现在的情况是社交传媒
is dominating old media
逐渐主宰旧媒体
and women are dominating social media,
同时女性在主宰社会媒体,
then does that mean that women
那么是否意味着女性
are going to take over global media?
将会主宰全球媒体?
Are we suddenly going to see
我们是否会突然发现
a lot more female characters in cartoons

and in games and on TV shows?

actually be chick flicks?
