Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I grew up in Northern Ireland, right up in the
Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.00,0:00:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very, very north end of it there,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.00,0:00:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where it's absolutely freezing cold.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.00,0:00:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This was me running around in the back garden mid-summer.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.00,0:00:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.00,0:00:12.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I couldn't pick a career.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.00,0:00:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In Ireland the obvious choice is the military,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.00,0:00:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but to be honest it actually kind of sucks.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.00,0:00:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.00,0:00:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My mother wanted me to be a dentist.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.00,0:00:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the problem was that people kept blowing everything up.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.00,0:00:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I actually went to school in Belfast,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.00,0:00:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which was where all the action happened.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.00,0:00:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this was a pretty common sight.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.00,0:00:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The school I went to was pretty boring.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.00,0:00:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They forced us to learn things like Latin.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.00,0:00:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The school teachers weren't having much fun,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.00,0:00:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the sports were very dirty or very painful.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.00,0:00:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I cleverly chose rowing, which I got very good at.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.00,0:00:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I was actually rowing for my school here
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.00,0:00:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until this fateful day, and I flipped over right in front
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.00,0:00:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the entire school.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.00,0:00:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that was the finishing post right there.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.00,0:00:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.00,0:00:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this was extremely embarrassing.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.00,0:00:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But our school at that time got a grant from the government,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.00,0:00:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they got an incredible computer -- the research machine 3DZ --
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.00,0:01:00.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they left the programming manuals lying around.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.00,0:01:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so students like myself with nothing to do,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.00,0:01:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we would learn how to program it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.00,0:01:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also around this time, at home,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.00,0:01:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this was the computer that people were buying.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.00,0:01:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was called the Sinclair ZX80. This was a 1K computer,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.00,0:01:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you'd buy your programs on cassette tape.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.00,0:01:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Actually I'm just going to pause for one second,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.00,0:01:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I heard that there's a prerequisite to speak here at TED --
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.00,0:01:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you had to have a picture of yourself from the old days with big hair.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.00,0:01:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I brought a picture with big hair.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.00,0:01:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter).
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.00,0:01:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I just want to get that out of the way.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.00,0:01:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So after the Sinclair ZX80 came along the very cleverly named
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.00,0:01:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sinclair ZX81.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.00,0:01:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.00,0:01:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And -- you see the picture at the bottom?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.00,0:01:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's a picture of a guy doing homework with his son.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.00,0:01:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's what they thought they had built it for.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.00,0:01:41.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The reality is we got the programming manual
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.00,0:01:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we started making games for it.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.00,0:01:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We were programming in BASIC,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.00,0:01:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is a pretty awful language for games,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.00,0:01:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we ended up learning Assembly language
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.00,0:01:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we could really take control of the hardware.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.00,0:01:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the guy that invented it, Sir Clive Sinclair,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.00,0:01:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he's showing his machine.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.00,0:01:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You had this same thing in America,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.00,0:01:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was called the Timex Sinclair1000.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.00,0:02:00.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,To play a game in those days you had to have an imagination
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.00,0:02:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to believe that you were really playing "Battlestar Galactica."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.00,0:02:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The graphics were just horrible.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.00,0:02:08.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You had to have an even better imagination to play this game,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.00,0:02:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Death Rider."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.00,0:02:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But of course the scientists couldn't help themselves.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.00,0:02:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They started making their own video games.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:14.00,0:02:18.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is one of my favorite ones here, where they have rabbit breeding,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.00,0:02:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so males choose the lucky rabbit.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.00,0:02:23.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was around this time we went from 1K to 16K,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.00,0:02:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which was quite the leap.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.00,0:02:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you're wondering how much 16K is,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.00,0:02:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this eBay logo here is 16K.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.00,0:02:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in that amount of memory someone programmed
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.00,0:02:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a full flight simulation program.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.00,0:02:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's what it looked like.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.00,0:02:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I spent ages flying this flight simulator,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.00,0:02:42.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I honestly believed I could fly airplanes by the end of it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.00,0:02:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's Clive Sinclair now launching his color computer.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.00,0:02:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He's recognized as being the father of video games in Europe.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.00,0:02:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He's a multi-millionaire, and I think that's why he's
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.00,0:02:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,smiling in this photograph.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.00,0:02:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I went on for the next 20 years or so
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.00,0:02:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making a lot of different games.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.00,0:02:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some of the highlights were things like "The Terminator,"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.00,0:03:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Aladdin," the "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.00,0:03:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because I was from the United Kingdom,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.00,0:03:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they thought the word ninja was a little too mean for children,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.00,0:03:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so they decided to call it hero instead.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.00,0:03:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I personally preferred the Spanish version,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.00,0:03:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which was "Tortugas Ninja."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.00,0:03:15.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That was much better.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.00,0:03:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.00,0:03:21.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then the last game I did was based on trying to get the video game industry
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.00,0:03:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Hollywood to actually work together on something --
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.00,0:03:27.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instead of licensing from each other, to actually work.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.00,0:03:29.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, Chris did ask me to bring some statistics with me,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.00,0:03:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I've done that.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.00,0:03:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The video game industry in 2005 became a 29 billion dollar business.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.00,0:03:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It grows every year.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.00,0:03:38.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Last year was the biggest year.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.00,0:03:40.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By 2008, we're going to kick the butt of the music industry.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.00,0:03:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,By 2010, we're going to hit 42 billion.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.00,0:03:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,43 percent of gamers are female.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.00,0:03:49.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there's a lot more female gamers than people are really aware.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.00,0:03:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The average age of gamers?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.00,0:03:53.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, obviously it's for children, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.00,0:03:54.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, no, actually it's 30 years old.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.00,0:03:58.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And interestingly, the people who buy the most games are 37.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.00,0:04:00.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So 37 is our target audience.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.00,0:04:02.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All video games are violent.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.00,0:04:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Of course the newspapers love to beat on this.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.00,0:04:09.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But 83 percent of games don't have any mature content whatsoever,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.00,0:04:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it's just not true.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.00,0:04:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Online gaming statistics.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.00,0:04:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I brought some stuff on "World of Warcraft." It's 5.5 million players.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.00,0:04:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It makes about 80 million bucks a month in subscriptions.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.00,0:04:22.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It costs 50 bucks just to install it on your computer,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.00,0:04:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making the publisher about another 275 million.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.00,0:04:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The game costs about 80 million dollars to make,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.00,0:04:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so basically it pays for itself in about a month.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.00,0:04:33.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A player in a game called "Project Entropia"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.00,0:04:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually bought his own island for 26,500 dollars.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.00,0:04:39.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have to remember that this is not a real island.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.00,0:04:41.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He didn't actually buy anything, just some data.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.00,0:04:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he got great terms on it.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.00,0:04:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This purchase included mining and hunting rights,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.00,0:04:48.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ownership of all land on the island, and a castle
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.00,0:04:50.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with no furniture included.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.00,0:04:51.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.00,0:04:55.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This market is now estimated at over 800 million dollars annually.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.00,0:04:57.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what's interesting about it is the market was actually created
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.00,0:04:59.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by the gamers themselves.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.00,0:05:01.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They found clever ways to trade items
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.00,0:05:03.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to sell their accounts to each other
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.00,0:05:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that they could make money while they were playing their games.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.00,0:05:07.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I dove onto eBay a couple of days ago
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.00,0:05:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just to see what was gong on, typed in World of Warcraft, got 6,000 items.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.00,0:05:13.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I liked this one the best:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.00,0:05:17.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a level 60 Warlock with lots of epics for 174,000 dollars.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.00,0:05:20.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's like that guy obviously had some pain while making it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.00,0:05:24.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So as far as popularity of games,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.00,0:05:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what do you think these people are doing here?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.00,0:05:31.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It turns out they're actually in Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.00,0:05:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,listening to the L.A. Philharmonic playing video game music.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.00,0:05:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's what the show looks like.
