0:00:11.709,0:00:15.709
So in a world where everyone[br]buzz about smartphones and tablets,

0:00:16.514,0:00:19.653
I'm here to tell you about[br]how we are building desktop computers.

0:00:19.654,0:00:23.133
"Why desktop computers?"[br]everyone always asks.

0:00:23.134,0:00:27.703
The answer is because you cannot enter[br]the knowledge economy

0:00:27.704,0:00:30.252
without being able to write a CV,

0:00:30.253,0:00:34.252
to do a school research report,[br]to do a budget.

0:00:34.253,0:00:40.362
To enter the modern economy,[br]you must have computing literacy.

0:00:40.363,0:00:44.559
Four and a half billion people[br]do not have access to that.

0:00:44.560,0:00:46.900
Four and a half billion people.

0:00:48.773,0:00:54.812
What's so incredible is that its actually[br]not that hard to solve it.

0:00:54.813,0:00:56.512
What does that mean?

0:00:56.513,0:00:59.031
How do four and a half[br]billion people not have it,

0:00:59.032,0:01:01.221
and it's not that hard to solve it?

0:01:01.222,0:01:05.631
The answer comes in the form[br]of technology that people already have,

0:01:05.632,0:01:09.522
everyone already has a television,[br]that's a monitor.

0:01:10.293,0:01:15.612
and attached to those televisions[br]are set-top boxes, cable boxes,

0:01:15.613,0:01:18.252
satellite TV boxes,

0:01:18.253,0:01:22.249
and that little box[br]is where the magic takes place.

0:01:22.250,0:01:24.625
If you take an iBook from the year 2000,

0:01:24.626,0:01:29.093
your average set-top box today[br]has four times the storage

0:01:29.094,0:01:33.713
and 60 times the RAM[br]as an iBook in the year 2000.

0:01:33.714,0:01:35.791
It is a computer.

0:01:35.792,0:01:42.751
So, why is it that all these computers,[br]monitors, set-top boxes as CPUs

0:01:42.756,0:01:44.915
are not actually computers?

0:01:44.916,0:01:49.255
And the answer[br]is actually really simple: software.

0:01:49.256,0:01:52.745
We spent about a year[br]trying to take existing solutions

0:01:52.746,0:01:55.995
and put it on set-top boxes[br]and make that happen.

0:01:55.996,0:02:00.175
After a year,[br]we threw it all away, gave up

0:02:00.176,0:02:04.575
and spent the subsequent three years[br]building that from scratch ourselves.

0:02:04.576,0:02:06.965
A desktop operating system[br]that is simple enough

0:02:06.966,0:02:10.854
that it doesn't require training,[br]it doesn't get viruses,

0:02:10.856,0:02:16.545
that runs on this cheap processors[br]making a computer cheaper than a tablet

0:02:16.546,0:02:23.295
and most importantly, that is[br]built for users in emerging markets,

0:02:23.296,0:02:27.755
because people in emerging markets[br]not only can’t afford computers

0:02:27.756,0:02:30.785
they can’t afford access to fundamentals

0:02:30.786,0:02:35.125
like education, health, and livelihood.

0:02:35.126,0:02:38.225
So, a computer can be an answer to that.

0:02:38.226,0:02:42.157
I'm supposed to get on stage[br]and tell you stories about the seamstress

0:02:42.167,0:02:45.122
that can now have access[br]to shopping from microfinance loans

0:02:45.123,0:02:47.257
and the farmer who can figure out

0:02:47.258,0:02:51.297
what to plant, when to irrigate,[br]and where to sell.

0:02:51.298,0:02:56.668
But in the audience tonight,[br]I actually found a new hero of mine.

0:02:58.468,0:03:00.247
He is a little 12 year old boy,

0:03:00.248,0:03:04.087
who eight months ago[br]couldn't speak English

0:03:04.088,0:03:08.557
and decided to teach himself English[br]through his computer

0:03:08.558,0:03:11.017
and I'd like to have you meet him.

0:03:11.018,0:03:12.977
Jimmy please welcome you on stage.

0:03:12.978,0:03:14.598
(Applause)

0:03:20.876,0:03:21.959
Jimmy Calí: Hello!

0:03:21.960,0:03:24.168
Matt Dalio: Tell me about yourself Jimmy.

0:03:24.169,0:03:27.958
JC: Hi everybody, my name is Jimmy,[br]I'm 12 years old,

0:03:27.959,0:03:30.793
and I really like to play videogames[br]and read books.

0:03:31.845,0:03:34.274
MD: So, how did you learn English?

0:03:34.275,0:03:39.188
I learned English by practicing,[br]reading and listening.

0:03:40.501,0:03:46.541
I already ended the program[br]Duolingo, I practiced in videos,

0:03:46.542,0:03:50.460
Skype, and writing on Whatsapp.

0:03:51.471,0:03:52.851
(Laughter)

0:03:54.511,0:03:56.021
(Applause)

0:04:02.759,0:04:06.098
So he was having a fluent conversation,[br]I speak Spanish,

0:04:06.099,0:04:09.798
and the conversation was easier[br]to had in English that it was in Spanish

0:04:09.799,0:04:12.539
because his conversational[br]English is so good.

0:04:13.232,0:04:16.711
Tell me, how much English[br]did you know eight months ago?

0:04:16.712,0:04:22.588
JC: I [started] learning[br]eight months ago, in March last year.

0:04:22.589,0:04:25.478
MD: How much did you know[br]eight months ago?

0:04:25.479,0:04:26.928
LC: Nothing.

0:04:26.929,0:04:28.306
(Laughter)

0:04:30.374,0:04:32.923
MD: You were saying something[br]about programming?

0:04:32.924,0:04:36.753
JC: Yes I am learning programming[br]in Khan Academy.

0:04:36.754,0:04:40.023
MD: Programing? Tell me,[br]what sort of programming?

0:04:40.024,0:04:42.597
JC: Animation. I really like it,

0:04:42.598,0:04:46.868
it's very hard, but I like it,[br]and I always practice it.

0:04:49.018,0:04:50.567
MD: My new hero.

0:04:50.568,0:04:51.818
(Applause)

0:05:04.202,0:05:08.792
There are a billion Jimmies[br]about to get technology.

0:05:11.407,0:05:17.506
It's incredible what we are[br]about to see as human kind.

0:05:17.507,0:05:23.061
The reason I'm on this stage is to make[br]a call to the entrepreneurs of the world.

0:05:24.501,0:05:29.043
The this of that, the Uber of X[br]has been done before.

0:05:30.352,0:05:35.252
Meanwhile, emerging markets have[br]so many needs and so many opportunities.

0:05:35.943,0:05:38.524
WhatsApp sold for 19 billion dollars,

0:05:38.525,0:05:41.274
the largest startup[br]acquisition in history.

0:05:41.275,0:05:42.275
Why?

0:05:42.276,0:05:48.175
Because it gave the power of communication[br]to 450 million emerging market users.

0:05:49.334,0:05:52.357
M-Pesa is a mobile payments platform

0:05:52.358,0:05:57.237
that currently runs 31%[br]of Kenya's GDP through it.

0:05:57.238,0:06:04.007
The opportunities of our era[br]exist here, in Guatemala,

0:06:04.008,0:06:06.918
and emerging[br]market countries just like it,

0:06:08.525,0:06:12.725
and this child right here[br]is testament to what that means.

0:06:14.356,0:06:15.736
(Laughter)

0:06:17.135,0:06:19.904
Thank you all. Jimmy, you are a hero.

0:06:19.905,0:06:21.392
JC: Thank you very much.

0:06:21.393,0:06:22.763
(Applause)
