Now imagine if there were land mines

I met Adriana Rodriguez

پنځه کاله وړاندې مې انډریانا روډرګز سره
وکتل

01:11
while I was working
for the Colombian government

هغه وخت کې مې کولمبیا دولت د ډاکومنټرۍ په

as a documentary filmmaker.

برخه کې کار کوو
01:16
During the conflict,
20
64374
1656
په هاغه شخړه کې
01:18
she was forced to leave her house ...
21
66054
1778
هغې باید خپل کور پریښی وای
01:21
with her kids in her arms.
22
69268
1778
چې سلا يې په لاس او ماشومان ورسره
01:24
One day, one of her neighbors was killed
23
72118
3342
یوه ورځ، د هغې یوه ګاونډۍ هغه وخت ووژل شوه
01:27
while he stepped on a land mine.
24
75484
2126
چې په یو ماین يې پښه کیښوده
01:32
He was actually inside
an abandoned house, not outside,
an abandoned house, not outside,
25
80406
4152
حقیقت کې هغه پریښودل شوي کور کې دننه
وو نه بهر

a house exactly like the one
Adriana was forced to leave.
Adriana was forced to leave.
26
84582

لداسی کور څخه انډریانه هم کډه کړې وه
01:40
Ever since, she has been living
with the fear that she, or her children,
with the fear that she, or her children,
27
88442
4419
له هغی وروسته هغه په دې ویره کې وه چې
خپله یا ماشومان

01:44
might step on a land mine.

به يې په ماین پښه ږدي
01:47
You know, the Colombian conflict
has been running for so long

3213
تاسې پوهیږئ چې د کولمبیا شخړې د ډيء وخت
راهیسې پیل دي
راهیسې پیل دي
01:51
that neither me nor my mom
have seen our country in peace,
have seen our country in peace,
30
99092
5365
چې نه ما او نه زما مور دې هیواد کې
امن لیدلی
امن لیدلی
01:56
and for someone like me,
31
104481
1468
او زما په څیر یو کس
01:57
who has been living detached
from all this suffering,
from all this suffering,
32
105973
3461
چې ددې ټولو ستونزو څخه ګوښه پاتې شوې وم
02:01
there was only two options:
33
109458
1895
یواځې دوه لارې وې
02:04
either I get used to it,
34
112778
2033
یا باید عادت شم ورسره
02:06
or I can try to change it
with all my heart.
with all my heart.
35
114835
4022
او یا يې د زړه نه بدل کړم
02:11
And I have to admit
that for almost 30 years,
that for almost 30 years,
36
119989
2659
او ما ومنله چې دیرش کالو راهیسې
02:14
I was getting used to it, you know?
37
122672
2959
زه ورسره عادت شوی یم، تاسې پوهیږئ؟
02:18
But something changed for me
when I met my wife.
when I met my wife.
38
126694
3465
خو کله مې چې میرمن ولیدله نو یو څه بدل شول
02:22
She is a political scientist
39
130614
1835
هغه سیاسي شنونکي ده
02:24
completely passionate
about the Colombian armed conflict.
about the Colombian armed conflict.
40
132473
3110
چې د کولمبیا وسله والې شخړې له نږدې څاري
02:28
She helped me to understand
41
136083
1961
هغې زه پوه کړم
02:30
how deeply our country has
been affected by land mines and by war.
been affected by land mines and by war.
42
138068
4372
چې زمونږ هیواد د څومره ماینونو او جنګ کې
ښکیل دی
ښکیل دی
02:35
We decided to come here
to the United States
to the United States
43
143166
2593
مونږ پریکړه وکړه چې امریکا ته راشو
02:37
in search of new skills
44
145783
2048
د یو نوي مهارت په لټه
02:39
that would enable us to contribute
in a fair way to our society,
in a fair way to our society,
45
147855
4230
چې خپلې ټولنې ته د خدمت جوګه شو
02:44
and maybe even help heal it.
46
152109
2000
او یا شاید لږ يې دارو کړو
02:47
While in grad school,
47
155364
1171
په ښوونځي کې
02:48
I started developing
48
156559
1210
ما یو اضافي حقیقت ته
02:49
an augmented reality,
really broad application
really broad application
49
157793
3040
پرمختګ ورکړ، یو ستر اپلیکیشن
02:52
to help military personnel
to deactivate land mines more safely.
to deactivate land mines more safely.
50
160857
3308
چې نظامي خلکو سره په احتیاط ماین
خنثا کړي
خنثا کړي
02:57
During that time, I also realized
51
165583
2628
په هغه وخت کې، زه په دې هم پوه شوم
03:00
that Colombia is not
the only country in the world
the only country in the world
52
168235
2627
چې کولمبیا په نړۍ کې یواځینی هیواد نه دی
03:02
that has to worry about land mines.
53
170886
2396
چې ماینونو خطر سره مخ دی
03:06
In fact, more than 58 countries
54
174724
2845
په حقیقت کې د ۵۸ څخه زیات هیوادونه
03:09
are still contaminated
with any sort of explosive device.
with any sort of explosive device.
55
177593
3769
له ماینونو او ورته چاودیدونکو توکو
باندې لړل شوي
باندې لړل شوي
03:14
Only in 2015, due to an escalation of war
56
182101
3572
یواځې په ۲۰۱۵ کال کې، چې جګړې زور واخست
03:17
in countries like Libya,
Syria, Ukraine and Yemen,
Syria, Ukraine and Yemen,
57
185697
4031
په لیبیا، سوریه، یوکراین او یمن کې
03:21
the number of land mines almost doubled,
58
189752
2596
د ماینونو اندازه دوه برابره شوه
03:24
from 3,695 to 6,461 people.
59
192372
5915
له ۳۶۹۵ څخه تر ۶۴۶۱ خلک
03:31
Imagine that.
60
199051
1184
دې اندازې ته وګورئ
03:32
While some countries
are trying to get rid of land mines,
are trying to get rid of land mines,
61
200259
2936
خو ځیني هیوادونه غواړي له دې څخه ځان
خلاص کړي
خلاص کړي
03:35
some others are increasing their use.
62
203219
2419
خو ځیني يې وراضافه کوي
03:38
But what happens when a conflict
that involved land mines
that involved land mines
63
206648
4096
هغه وخت چې دا جګړه ختمه شي نو بیا په دې
03:42
comes to an end?
64
210768
1308
ماینونو سره به څه کوي؟
03:44
There are two consequences.
65
212782
2183
دوه پایلې لري
03:46
On the one hand,
66
214989
1659
یوه دا چې
03:48
the internally displaced population
will start returning to their lands,
will start returning to their lands,
67
216672
4688
ځایي خلک به بیرته خپلو کورونو ته
راستانه شي
راستانه شي
03:53
and on the other hand,
68
221384
1848
او یا به
03:55
hidden land mines are going
to start exploding more often
to start exploding more often
69
223256
3635
دا ماینونه په ډيره کچه
03:58
on the civilian side.
70
226915
1388
عام ولس باندې چوي
04:01
That's the reason why I decided to join

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Carlos Bautista - Entrepreneur, creative technologistTED Resident Carlos Bautista wants to close the information and technology gap for people in developing countries.
Why you should listen
Carlos Bautista is working to develop MineSafe: a crowd-sourced information system for people in landmine-affected areas around the world. MineSafe aimsto analyze and deliver safe paths and reliable information for their daily commutes.
Bautista in an entrepreneur and creative technologist who has collaborated with other professionals to create a number of companies and research projects, ranging from a tailored shoe company to an augmented reality app that helps military personnel to deactivate landmines. He's worked with start-ups in New York City, helping them to develop and implement technological tools to enhance their educational services, using human-centered design methodologies.
As a professor, Bautista coached a team of young women during the summer of 2017, guiding them through the design thinking process at the Cornell and CUNY Women in Technology in NY (WiTNY) program. This experience allowed students to experiment with the use of empathy to develop successful technological products. Bautista has also taught classes at the Politécnico Grancolombiano in interactive design, 3D design and animation, web design, augmented reality and descriptive geometry. Bautista led the process of opening the Industrial Design program in Politécnico Grancolombiano, which opened in 2015.
Bautista is based in NYC working as a research associate at Tandon School of Engineering's computer science department, under the supervision of professor Claudio Silva, Interim Director of Center for Data Science. Together they are working to develop MineSafe to help people in rural areas of the world to move freely and safely without worrying about landmines.
