Well we all know the World Wide Web
0
0
2000
Biz hamamiz bilamizki Internet
00:17
has absolutely transformed publishing, broadcasting,
1
2000
4000
nashr, teleko`rsatuv,
00:21
commerce and social connectivity,
2
6000
2000
savdo va ijtimoiy aloqani kuchli darajada o`zgartirdi,
00:23
but where did it all come from?
3
8000
2000
lekin bularning hamasi qayerdan kelgan?
00:25
And I'll quote three people:
4
10000
2000
Men sizga uchta insonni ta'kidlayman:
00:27
Vannevar Bush, Doug Engelbart and Tim Berners-Lee.
5
12000
3000
Vannevar Bush, Doug Engelbart va Tim Berners-Lee.
00:30
So let's just run through these guys.
6
15000
2000
Keling endi mana shu insonlar haqida ozgina gaplashsak.
00:32
This is Vannevar Bush.
7
17000
2000
Mana bu Vanner Bush.
00:34
Vannevar Bush was the U.S. government's chief scientific adviser during the war.
8
19000
3000
Urush paytida u AQSH hukumatining ilmiy maslahatchisi bo`lgan.
00:37
And in 1945,
9
22000
2000
va 1945-yilda,
00:39
he published an article in a magazine called Atlantic Monthly.
10
24000
3000
u Oylik Atlantik(Atlantic Monthly) jurnalda o`z maqolasini chop ettirdi.
00:42
And the article was called "As We May Think."
11
27000
3000
Va maqola "Biz o`ylashimiz mumkindek" deb nomlandi.
00:45
And what Vannevar Bush was saying
12
30000
2000
Bizning ma'lumotni ishlatishimiz yo`li singanligi
00:47
was the way we use information is broken.
13
32000
3000
Vannevar Bush ta'kidlamoqchi bo`lgan narsa edi.
00:50
We don't work in terms of libraries
14
35000
3000
Biz kutubxona, katalog va shunga o`xshash
00:53
and catalog systems and so forth.
15
38000
2000
sistemalar bo`yicha ishlamaymiz.
00:55
The brain works by association.
16
40000
2000
Inson miyyasi o`zaro bog`liqlik holda ishlaydi.
00:57
With one item in its thought, it snaps instantly to the next item.
17
42000
3000
O`z ichida fikr bir narsadan ikkinchi narsaga har doim tez sur'atda o`tib turadi.
01:00
And the way information is structured
18
45000
2000
va ma'lumotlar tizimining
01:02
is totally incapable of keeping up with this process.
19
47000
3000
bunday holatda ishlashga imkoni yo`q.
01:05
And so he suggested a machine,
20
50000
2000
Va shunday qilib u bir texnikani taklif qildi
01:07
and he called it the memex.
21
52000
2000
va uni "memeks"(memex) deb nomladi.
01:09
And the memex would link information,
22
54000
2000
Va memeks ma'lumotlarni
01:11
one piece of information to a related piece of information and so forth.
23
56000
3000
birinchisadan ikkinchisiga bog`laydigan bo`ldi.
01:14
Now this was in 1945.
24
59000
2000
Bu 1945-yilda edi.
01:16
A computer in those days
25
61000
2000
Komputer o`sha kunlarda
01:18
was something the secret services used to use for code breaking.
26
63000
3000
shifrlarni buzish uchun mahfiy hizmat uchun ishlatilgan edi.
01:21
And nobody knew anything about it.
27
66000
2000
Va u haqida hech kim bilmagan edi.
01:23
So this was before the computer was invented.
28
68000
2000
Demak, bu narsa komputerlar yaratilishidan oldin bo`lgan!
01:25
And he proposed this machine called the memex.
29
70000
2000
Va u bu texnikani memeks deb nomlashga axd qildi.
01:27
And he had a platform where you linked information to other information,
30
72000
3000
Uning bir informatsiyani ikkinchisiga ulovchi platformasi bo`lgan,
01:30
and then you could call it up at will.
31
75000
2000
va hohlaganizni tanlab ko`rish imkoni bo`lgan.
01:32
So spinning forward,
32
77000
2000
Davom etsak...
01:34
one of the guys who read this article was a guy called Doug Engelbart,
33
79000
2000
bu narsadan habar topganlar ichida AQSH Havo kuchlari ofitseri
01:36
and he was a U.S. Air Force officer.
34
81000
2000
Doug Engelbart ham bor edi.
01:38
And he was reading it in their library in the Far East.
35
83000
3000
U bu habarni uzoq sharqning kutubxonalaridan birida o`qib
01:41
And he was so inspired by this article,
36
86000
2000
judayam ta'sirlandi
01:43
it kind of directed the rest of his life.
37
88000
2000
va bu uning qolgan hayotga yo`l ochdi.
01:45
And by the mid-60s, he was able to put this into action
38
90000
3000
U 60-yillarning o`rtasida, Kaliforniyada, Stanford izlanish labaratoriyasida
01:48
when he worked at the Stanford Research Lab in California.
39
93000
3000
bir narsaga erishishga muvaffaq bo`ldi.
01:52
He built a system.
40
97000
2000
U bir tizim barpo etdi.
01:54
The system was designed to augment human intelligence, it was called.
41
99000
3000
Tizim inson aqlini kuchaytirish uchun barpo qilingandi.
01:57
And in a premonition of today's world
42
102000
3000
Hozirgi zamon komputer birlashuvi
02:00
of cloud computing and softwares of service,
43
105000
2000
va programmaviy ta'minot hizmatiga ko`ra,
02:02
his system was called NLS
44
107000
2000
bu tizimi doimgi aloqa tizimi,
02:04
for oN-Line System.
45
109000
2000
NLS (NLS - oN-Line System) deb nomlandi.
02:06
And this is Doug Engelbart.
46
111000
2000
Va bu Doug Engelbart.
02:08
He was giving a presentation at the Fall Joint Computer Conference
47
113000
3000
U Kuzgi Birlashgan Komputer Konferensiyasida
02:11
in 1968.
48
116000
3000
1968-yilda so`zga chiqqan edi.
02:14
What he showed --
49
119000
2000
U nimani namoyish qildi -
02:16
he sat on a stage like this, and he demonstrated this system.
50
121000
3000
u sahnada shunday o`tirdi va shu tizimni tasvirlab berdi.
02:19
He had his head mic like I've got.
51
124000
2000
Unda huddi menikiga o`xshagan bosh mikrafoni bor edi.
02:21
And he works this system.
52
126000
2000
va u bu tizimni ishlatadi.
02:23
And you can see, he's working between documents
53
128000
2000
Ko`rib turganingizdek, u hujjatlar, grafiklar va
02:25
and graphics and so forth.
54
130000
2000
shunga o`xshash narsalar bilan ishlayapti.
02:27
And he's driving it all
55
132000
2000
Va u bularning hamasini mana bu yerdagi
02:29
with this platform here,
56
134000
2000
o`zi ixtiro qilgan platforma,
02:31
with a five-finger keyboard
57
136000
2000
besh-barmoqli klaviatura va
02:33
and the world's first computer mouse,
58
138000
2000
dunyoning birinchi komputer sichqonchasi
02:35
which he specially designed in order to do this system.
59
140000
2000
orqali boshqarmoqda.
02:37
So this is where the mouse came from as well.
60
142000
2000
Shunday qilib komputer sichqonchasi yaratildi.
02:39
So this is Doug Engelbart.
61
144000
2000
Bu - Doug Engelbart.
02:41
The trouble with Doug Engelbart's system
62
146000
2000
Doug Engelbart sistemasining muammosi
02:43
was that the computers in those days cost several million pounds.
63
148000
3000
o`sha kunlarda komputerning bir necha million funt turganligi bo`ldi.
02:46
So for a personal computer,
64
151000
2000
Shunday qilib shaxsiy komputer uchun bir necha million
02:48
a few million pounds was like having a personal jet plane;
65
153000
2000
funt huddi shaxsiy samolyotga ega bo`lish edi;
02:50
it wasn't really very practical.
66
155000
2000
bu unchali darajada qulay bo`lmadi.
02:52
But spin on to the 80s
67
157000
2000
Endi 80-yillarga boraylik,
02:54
when personal computers did arrive,
68
159000
2000
komputerlar ishga tushgan va
02:56
then there was room for this kind of system on personal computers.
69
161000
2000
keyin shaxsiy koputerlarning tizimi shu honaga o`xshash bo`lgan yillar.
02:58
And my company, OWL
70
163000
2000
Va mening kompaniyam, OWL
03:00
built a system called Guide for the Apple Macintosh.
71
165000
3000
Apple Macintosh uchun qo`llanma nomli tizim tuzdi.
03:03
And we delivered the world's first hypertext system.
72
168000
4000
Va biz dunyoning birinchi giper matni (hypertext) tizimini keltirdik.
03:07
And this began to get a head of steam.
73
172000
2000
Va bu rivojlanishni boshladi.
03:09
Apple introduced a thing called HyperCard,
74
174000
2000
Apple GiperKarta (HyperCard) degan narsani yaratdi va
03:11
and they made a bit of a fuss about it.
75
176000
2000
bu narsani ular shov-shuvga aylantirib yuborishdi.
03:13
They had a 12-page supplement in the Wall Street Journal the day it launched.
76
178000
3000
Bu narsa chiqarilgan kuni Wall Street Jurnalida 12 bet bo`sh joy bor edi va
03:16
The magazines started to cover it.
77
181000
2000
jurnal bu yangilikni o`z ichiga qamrashni boshladi.
03:18
Byte magazine and Communications at the ACM
78
183000
2000
Byte jurnali va ACMning Aloqalarida
03:20
had special issues covering hypertext.
79
185000
2000
giper text alohida ta'kidlandi.
03:22
We developed a PC version of this product
80
187000
2000
Biz bu mahsulotning shaxsiy komputer
03:24
as well as the Macintosh version.
81
189000
2000
shu bilan birga Macintosh variantlarini rivojlantirdik.
03:26
And our PC version became quite mature.
82
191000
3000
Va biz chiqargan shaxsiy komputer varianti ancha muvaffaqiyatli bo`ldi.
03:29
These are some examples of this system in action in the late 80s.
83
194000
3000
Bular esa sistemaning 80-yillar ohiridagi ba'zi namunalaridir.
03:33
You were able to deliver documents, were able to do it over networks.
84
198000
3000
Hujjatlarni yetkazish va ularni komputer tizimi orqali amalga oshirish imkoni bo`ldi.
03:36
We developed a system such
85
201000
2000
Biz shunday tizimni yaratdikki
03:38
that it had a markup language based on html.
86
203000
2000
unda html ga asoslangan yozuvlar to`plami bolgan edi.
03:40
We called it hml: hypertext markup language.
87
205000
3000
Biz uni hml: giper matn yozuvlar tili (hypertext markup language) deb nomladik.
03:43
And the system was capable of doing
88
208000
2000
va bu sistema judayam katta hujjatlarni komputer
03:45
very, very large documentation systems over computer networks.
89
210000
4000
tizimi orqali yaratish qobiliyatiga ega edi.
03:49
So I took this system to a trade show in Versailles near Paris
90
214000
3000
Shunday qilib 1990-yil Noyabrning ohirida men bu tizimni
03:52
in late November 1990.
91
217000
3000
Parij yaqinidagi Versailez shaxriga ko`rsatma uchun olib bordim.
03:55
And I was approached by a nice young man called Tim Berners-Lee
92
220000
2000
Va u yerda yonimga Tim Berners-Lee ismli yosh yigit yaqinlashdi.
03:57
who said, "Are you Ian Ritchie?" and I said, "Yeah."
93
222000
2000
"Siz Ian Ritchiemisiz?"-so`radi u, "ha"-deb javob berdim.
03:59
And he said, "I need to talk to you."
94
224000
2000
Va u - "men siz bilan gaplashishim kerak".
04:01
And he told me about his proposed system called the World Wide Web.
95
226000
3000
U menga o`zining o`ylangan Dunyo Keng To`ri (World Wide Web(www)) nomli tizimi haqida gapirdi
04:04
And I thought, well, that's got a pretentious name,
96
229000
3000
va men o`yladim, ho`sh, bu ajoyib fikr,
04:07
especially since the whole system ran on his computer in his office.
97
232000
3000
ayniqsa butun bir tizim uning ofisidagi komputeridan boshqarilsa.
04:10
But he was completely convinced that his World Wide Web
98
235000
3000
Lekin u o`zining o`ylagan tizimi butun dunyoni
04:13
would take over the world one day.
99
238000
2000
bir kun kelib egallashiga ishongan edi.
04:15
And he tried to persuade me to write the browser for it,
100
240000
2000
Va u meni buning uchun dastur tuzib berishimi so`radi
04:17
because his system didn't have any graphics or fonts or layout or anything;
101
242000
3000
chunki uning tizimida hech qanday grafik, yoki yozuv tartibi yo`q edi.
04:20
it was just plain text.
102
245000
2000
bu oddiygina bir matn edi.
04:22
I thought, well, you know, interesting,
103
247000
3000
Men o`yladim, ho`sh, bilasizmi nima, bu judayam qiziqarli,
04:25
but a guy from CERN, he's not going to do this.
104
250000
2000
lekin CERNdan bo`lgan odamni bunga umuman aloqasi yo`q...
04:27
So we didn't do it.
105
252000
2000
Shunday qilib biz buni amalga oshirmadik.
04:29
In the next couple of years,
106
254000
2000
Keyingi 2,3 yil ichida
04:31
the hypertext community didn't recognize him either.
107
256000
2000
giper matn jamoati ham unga e'tibor bermadi.
04:33
In 1992, his paper was rejected for the Hypertext Conference.
108
258000
3000
Uning maqolasi 1992-yilda Giper matn Konferensiyasi tomonidan rad qilindi.
04:36
In 1993,
109
261000
3000
1993-yilda esa,
04:39
there was a table at the conference in Seattle,
110
264000
2000
Seattledagi konferensiya stoli ustida,
04:41
and a guy called Marc Andreessen
111
266000
2000
Marc Andreessen nomli yigit o`zining
04:43
was demonstrating his little browser for the World Wide Web.
112
268000
3000
kichkinagina Dunyo Keng To`ri (World Wide Web(www)) dasturini namoyish etayotgan edi.
04:46
And I saw it, and I thought, yep, that's it.
113
271000
2000
Men buni ko`rdim va o`yladim, "tamom".
04:48
And the very next year, in 1994, we had the conference here in Edinburgh,
114
273000
3000
Bir yil o`tgach, 1994-yilda, Edinburgda konferensiya bo`ldi
04:51
and I had no opposition in having Tim Berners-Lee as the keynote speaker.
115
276000
4000
va menda Tim Berners-Leeni asosiy so`zlovchi qilishimda qarshiliklar bo`lmadi.
04:55
So that puts me in pretty illustrious company.
116
280000
2000
Shunday qilib bu meni yaqqol bir vaziyatga soldi.
04:57
There was a guy called Dick Rowe
117
282000
2000
Dick Rowe ismli yigit bo`lgan va u
04:59
who was at Decca Records and turned down The Beatles.
118
284000
2000
Decca Recordsda Beatles gruppasini muvaffaqiyatsizlikka uchratgan.
05:01
There was a guy called Gary Kildall
119
286000
2000
Gary Kildall ismli yigit bo`lgan edi va u,
05:03
who went flying his plane
120
288000
2000
IBM kompaniyasi operatsion tizimi qidirib uning oldiga
05:05
when IBM came looking for an operating system
121
290000
2000
kelganida, uni bu tizimni yaratishga ko`zi yetmagan
05:07
for the IBM PC,
122
292000
2000
va o`z samolyotida uchib ketib qolgan,
05:09
and he wasn't there, so they went back to see Bill Gates.
123
294000
2000
va IBM Bill Gatesni oldiga borishiga to`g`ri kelgan.
05:11
And the 12 publishers
124
296000
2000
va tahminimcha, yana 12 ta nashriyotchilar
05:13
who turned down J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter, I guess.
125
298000
3000
J.K. Rowlingning Harry Potter kitobini omadsiz qilgan.
05:16
On the other hand, there's Marc Andreessen
126
301000
2000
Lekin shu bilan birga, Marc Andreessen ham bor.
05:18
who wrote the world's first browser for the World Wide Web.
127
303000
2000
Fortune jurnaliga ko`ra, u dunyoning birinchi Dunyo Keng To`ri (World Wide Web(www))
05:20
And according to Fortune magazine,
128
305000
2000
