| There's a lot of exciting things happening in the design world and at IDEO this past year, and I'm pleased to get a chance to share some of those with you. |

| I probably wrestled you to the floor and tried to show you my new EyeModule 2, which was a camera that plugged into the Handspring . |

今年——或许您会给大家展示这些幻灯片 今年我们带了Treo 我们帮助Handspring设计了这款产品。 |
| Also, though we designed it a few years ago -- it's just become ubiquitous in the last year or so -- this Heartstream defibrillator which is saving lives. |

| So, we really will continue to focus on products. |
所以,我们肯定会继续关注产品。 |
| But something's happened in the last 18 years since Richard started TED, and that's that people like us -- |
不过,在理查德开创了TED之后的18年中, 发生了一些变化—— |
| I know people in other places have caught onto this for a long time, but for us, we've really just started to climb Maslow's hierarchy a little bit -- and so we're now focused more and more on human centered design. |

| And then one of my favorite features of the technology is the magic mirror, where you put on the clothes. |
