Continuing their tenth anniversary “future” series, today it’s YouTube CEO Chad Hurley’s turn to take up the Google blog pulpit and expound on the future of online video.
YouTube首席执行官查德·赫尔利(Chad Hurley)继承了他们成立十周年的“未来”系列，今天轮到Google博客讲坛， 阐述在线视频的未来 。
Hurley makes some bold predictions for YouTube, which he says receives 13 hours of video every second — a number he thinks will continue to grow exponentially. Hurley says that YouTube’s goal is to make the process of uploading a video “as simple as placing a phone call.” Once uploaded, Hurley promises that YouTube videos will be available on any screen from television to mobile.
赫尔利(Hurley)对YouTube做出了一些大胆的预测，他说YouTube每秒收到13个小时的视频，他认为这一数字将继续呈指数增长。 赫利说，YouTube的目标是使上传视频的过程“像打个电话一样简单”。 上传后，Hurley承诺YouTube视频将在从电视到手机的任何屏幕上显示。
Because YouTube uses Flash to deliver its video, the legwork for that last bit might be done for them. Adobe’s Open Screen Project, which was launched last Spring, shares the common goal of getting Flash video and content on as many screens as possible.
由于YouTube使用Flash交付视频，因此可能需要为他们做最后的工作。 Adobe的Open Screen Project于去年Spring启动，其共同目标是在尽可能多的屏幕上获取Flash视频和内容。
According to Hurley, as the cost of video recording equipment comes down (and is integrated into more devices), “online video broadcasting will be the most ubiquitous and accessible form of communication.” That seems a bit far fetched — certainly video could become as easy and accessible as voice and text publishing have become, but it is harder to imagine that it will become the most ubiquitous form of communication.
根据Hurley的说法，随着视频记录设备成本的下降(并集成到更多设备中)，“在线视频广播将是最普遍且可访问的通信方式。” 这似乎有些牵强附会-当然，视频可以像语音和文本发布一样变得容易和可访问，但是很难想象它将成为最普遍的通信形式。
Of course, that hinges on your definition of “most ubiquitous.” It’s hard to imagine text will ever be supplanted as the preferred method of long form, more permanent types of communication (at least, not in ten years), for example. But if video could become as easy and secure as placing a phone call, then it could conceivably replace voice communications for a lot of casual use.
当然，这取决于您对“最普遍”的定义。 很难想象，例如文本将被取代为长格式，更永久的通信类型(至少在十年之内)的首选方法。 但是，如果视频变得像打个电话一样容易和安全，那么可以想象它可以取代语音通信，而可以用于很多休闲用途。
But can you really envision a future where you fire off a video message more often than a quick text email? Or where it makes sense to be carrying on 5 different video instant message sessions at once rather than 5 different text IM sessions?
但是，您真的可以设想一个未来，而不是快速发送文本电子邮件吗？ 还是有意义的是一次进行5个不同的视频即时消息会话而不是5个不同的文本IM会话？
