在美国曼哈顿开幕的“TED Talks”大会上，12岁的天才少年托马斯·斯沃斯对台下观众分享他的创作经验与技术，自信且毫不怯场的神态简直就是年轻版的“乔布斯”(Steve Jobs)。 视频文本：
Hello everyone，my name is Thomas Suarez. I a fascination for computers and technology, and I made a few apps for the iPhone, iPad touch and Ipad. I’d like to share a couple with you today; my first step was a unique fortune terror called Earth Fortune, That explain different codes of earth depending on what your fortune was, my favorite and most successful App is Bustin Jieber, which is the Justin Bieber wac more, I created it because a lot of people at school dislike Justin Bieber a little bit, so I decided to make the app, so I went to work programming it and I really suggest for holidays in 2010.
大家好，我叫托马斯·斯沃斯，我一直以来对计算机技术着迷。我就给iPhone、iPod touch、iPad做了一些应用程序，今天我就来给大家展示几个。第一个应用叫做地球算命，它根据你的运势来改变地球的颜色。我最有名、最成功的应用程序是比斯汀.贾伯，它是一个恶搞贾斯汀·比伯程序。这是因为在我的学校里，许多人有点不喜欢贾斯汀·比伯。所以我就开始做了这个应用了，开始编程，并在2010年的暑假推出了我的作品。
A lot of people asked me: how did I make this, a lot of time just because the person you ask a question wants to make an app also, a lot of kids these days like to play games, but now they want to make them and it’s difficult. Because not many kids know where to go to find out how to make a program. I mean for soccer you could go to a soccer team, for violin you could get lessons for violin, but what if you want to make an app and kid’s parents might have done these things when they were young, but not many parents made apps. Where would you go to find out how to make an app, while this is how I perched, this is what I did.
许多人问我，我是怎么做出这些东西来的？大多数情况下，问我这个问题的人也想做一个应用程序试试。现在有许多孩子曾喜欢玩游戏，现在他们可以自己创作游戏了，这很难，因为大多数孩子不知道去哪里学编程。我是说，如果你想学足球，你可以加入一个足球队，如果学拉小提琴，你可以去兴趣班。如果想做应用程序，你该怎么办呢？父母一般叫孩子们做一些事，但是有多少父母会编程呢？你去哪里可以学到编程呢？以下就是我怎么做到的，这就是我做的。 作者: catfelix 时间: 2012-3-7 11:09
First of all, I’ve been programming in multiple other programs just get the basics down, such as the piesound see Job etc. And then Apple released the iPhone and with the iPhone soft developing , and soft developing is a sweet of tools for creating and programming an iPhone app. This opened up a whole new world possibilities for me, and after playing with the soft diveloping a little bit I made a couple apps and made some test apps, one of them happen to be Earth Fortune was ready to put fortune on the apps stock, and so I persuaded my parents to pay the 99-dollar-fee to be able to put my app on the app stock. They agreed and now I on the app stock.
首先，我先学了另外的编程，作为基础，比如python、C语言、Java编程。不久苹果公司推出了iPhone和iPhone软件开发工具包。iPhone软件开发工具包是一个给iPhone编写应用程序的很好的工具。这给我带来了发现新世界一般的可能性，我在小小地玩了一下iPhone软件开发工具包之后，我就做了几个应用，并作了测试，其中之一就是地球算命。我很想把我的地球算命放上苹果的应用商店，我就说服我父母去支付进入苹果应用超市所需的99美元。结果他们同意了，我的应用上线了。
I’ve got a lot interesting encouragement for my family friends teachers and even people of the app store, that’s been a huge chap for me, I’ve got a lot of inspiration from Steve Jobs, as started the app club at the school and a teacher my school is kindly sponsary my app club, any students on my school can come and design, learn how to design an app. This is all I can share my experience with others.
我得到了来自我的家庭、朋友、老师，甚至是苹果应用超市的工作人员的鼓励，他们对我有了很大的影响。我从乔布斯身上得到了许多灵感，我在学校里组建了苹果俱乐部。老师对我的俱乐部做出了积极地响应。 在我的学校里，每个人都可以来我的俱乐部里学习如何编写应用程序。这就是我与他人分享经验的方式。
There is the program called the Ipad pallid program, and some districts have them. I’m fortunate to be part of one; a big challenge is how should the ipad be used on what apps shall we put on the Ipads. So we’re getting feedback from teachers at this school to see what kind of apps they like when we design the app and we sell it, it would be free to local districts and other districts that we sell to or the money from that local foundations, these days students usually know a little bit more than teachers with the technology, so, sorry, this is the resource of the teachers and educators should recognize these resources and made good use of it.
有一种叫iPad平板电脑编程的组织，有些区里有这类的组织，我有幸成为他们当中的一员。我最大的挑战是怎么利用iPad，我们应该给iPad做什么样的程序。我们在学校里向老师做了反馈信息调查，看看他们喜欢什么样的应用程序。在我们设计好后，我们出售那些应用。本地区的用户可以免费获得，别的地区的用户收费。从中的利润会投入到当地基金会中。现在，学生们，在技术方面，通常会比老师们懂得多。如此看来...对不起，这是老师们的资源，教育工作者应该好好认识并利用它。
I’d like to finish up by saying what I like to do in the future. First of all I’d like to create more apps , more games. I’m working with the third party company to make an app. I’d like to get into Android programming and development, and I’d like to continue my app club and find other ways for students to share knowledge with others. Thank you.
最后我想说一下我对未来的打算。第一点，我会做更多的应用程序，更多的游戏，与第三家公司一起合作做程序，进入安卓平台的软件开发，继续把我的苹果俱乐部搞下去，探索与同学们分享知识的途径。谢谢!
