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.
让我来分享一个故事作为结尾，这个故事让我非常兴奋。在座的有一些可能听说过这个项目。
It's a game called Foldit. It came out of the University of Washington in Seattle.
是一个叫做Foldit的游戏。它来自西雅图的华盛顿大学。
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.
它是一个能让个人获取一个氨基酸序列，并分析出其中的蛋白质是如何折叠的。
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.
其折叠的方式决定了该氨基酸的结构和功能。这是非常重要的医学研究。直到目前，这都还是一个由超级电脑来处理的问题。
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.
这个游戏起先是给大学教授玩。然后成百上千的人也上线开始玩这个游戏。
And it showed that, in fact, today, the human pattern recognition machinery is better at folding proteins than the best computers.
它也展示出时至今日，人类的模式辨识机能仍然要比最好的电脑都要强。
And when these individuals went and looked at who was the best protein folder in the world, it wasn't an MIT professor,
当大家排列出最好的蛋白质折叠专家时，并不是MIT的教授，
it wasn't a CalTech student, it was a person from England, from Manchester, a woman who,
也不是加州理工学院的学生，而是一位来自曼彻斯特的英国女性。
during the day, was an executive assistant at a rehab clinic and, at night, was the world's best protein folder.
白天在一家康复治疗整所行政助理的工作，而夜晚也是全世界最好的蛋白质折叠专家。
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.
女士们先生们，给予我对未来巨大信心的，是我们每一位作为个人都被赋予挑战全世界面临的难题的能力。
We have the tools with this exponential technology. We have the passion of the DIY innovator.
我们拥有快速发展的科技和工具，也有DIY发明家的激情。
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,
大家都有能力成为技术－慈善家。同时还有30亿新的用户来到线上与我们合作一起解决巨大的挑战，
to do that which we must do. We are living into extraordinary decades ahead. Thank you.
