ENGLISH TRANSCRIPT

The first thing I took apart was my mother's telephone, and I took, you know, took all the pieces apart, and then I put it back together, but I nailed it to a board. And so, everyone was talking on the phone on this board, with the dialer over here and the ringer over here, you know. That was my first exploration in deconstruction and reconstruction.

It's almost like opening a present.

You have this wonderful thing, and then you kind of peel back these layers and see how it functions. I think there's the discovery of taking things apart that is is? the most exciting thing.

I have been taking things apart since I was very little. I still remember the first time I took apart this old camera. I just, like, cut the end off another power cord, plugged it in, you know, plugged it into that, and sparks went everywhere. And, yeah, the magic smoke got out.

Feels like Christmas morning.

I actually love to take things apart that other people built because you get to really figure out how that works and what they made? why they made that decision.

There's a lot of really interesting subtleties that went into it on the good designs and the bad designs.

And so you can learn from both of them. You learn what to do and what not to do.

PORTUGUESE TRANSLATION

A primeira coisa que eu desmontei foi o telefone da minha mãe, e eu tirei, você sabe, tirei todas as peças, e depois coloquei de volta, mas eu preguei em uma tábua. E assim, todo mundo estava falando ao telefone nesta placa, com o discador aqui e a campainha aqui, você sabe. Essa foi a minha primeira exploração em desconstrução e reconstrução.

É quase como abrir um presente.

Você tem essa coisa maravilhosa, e então você meio que retira essas camadas e vê como elas funcionam. Eu acho que há a descoberta de desmontar as coisas que é ... a coisa mais excitante.

Eu tenho desmontado as coisas desde que eu era muito pequeno. Ainda me lembro da primeira vez que separei essa câmera antiga. Eu apenas, tipo, cortei a extremidade de outro cabo de energia, liguei, você sabe, conectei-o a isso, e faíscas foram para todo lado. E sim, a fumaça mágica saiu.

Parece manhã de Natal.

Eu realmente adoro desmembrar as coisas que outras pessoas construíram porque você realmente descobriu como isso funciona e o que eles fizeram ... por que eles tomaram essa decisão.

Há muitas sutilezas realmente interessantes que foram colocadas nos bons designs e nos designs ruins.

E assim você pode aprender com os dois. Você aprende o que fazer e o que não fazer.
