jab main phone par baat karte hue sadak par chal raha tha, toh aadhunik New Yorker mujhe aise dekh rahe the jaise unhone kisi ko phone par baat karte hue chalte hue pehli baar dekha ho. yaad rakhiyega ki 1973 mein cordless phone toh door ki baat, mobile phone ka toh astitva hi nahi tha. maine kayi phone kiye, jismein ek call ke dauran main New York ke ek radio reporter se baat karte hue sadak paar kar raha tha—shayad yeh meri zindagi ke sabse khatarnak kaamo mein se ek tha.

As I walked down the street while talking on the phone, sophisticated New Yorkers gaped at the sight of someone actually moving around while making a phone call. Remember that in 1973, there weren't cordless telephones, let alone cellular phones. I made numerous calls, including one where I crossed the street while talking to a New York radio reporter - probably one of the more dangerous things I have ever done in my life.

log doosre logon se baat karna chahte hain—kisi ghar, office, ya gaadi se nahi. agar mauka diya jaye, toh log kahin se bhi baat karne ki azaadi maangenge, bina kisi purane taambe ke taar (copper wire) ke bandhan ke. yahi woh azaadi thi jise hum 1973 mein saaf taur par dikhana chahte the.

People want to talk to other people - not a house, or an office, or a car. Given a choice, people will demand the freedom to communicate wherever they are, unfettered by the infamous copper wire. It is that freedom we sought to vividly demonstrate in 1973.

हमें ज़रा भी अंदाज़ा नहीं था कि महज़ 35 सालों में पृथ्वी के आधे से ज़्यादा लोगों के पास मोबाइल फ़ोन होंगे, और लोग इन्हें मुफ़्त में बाँट रहे होंगे।

We had no idea that in as little as 35 years more than half the people on Earth would have cellular telephones, and they give the phones away to people for nothing.

जब आप कोई ऐसा सर्व-उपयोगी उपकरण बनाते हैं जो हर किसी के लिए सब कुछ करता है, तो वह किसी भी काम को ढंग से नहीं कर पाता।

Whenever you create a universal device that does all things for all people, it does not do any things well.

जब मैं युवा था, तो सपने देखने वाले को बहुत नकारात्मक दृष्टि से देखा जाता था। अगर आप सपने देखते थे, तो आप किसी काम के नहीं थे। आप समाज में कोई योगदान नहीं देते थे। लेकिन 'स्टार ट्रेक' ने सपने देखने को एक वैधता दी, और मुझे लगता है कि यह एक बहुत बड़ा योगदान था।

When I was young, the concept of being a dreamer was a very negative one. If you were a dreamer, you were useless. You didn't contribute anything to society. But Star Trek made dreaming legitimate, and I think that was a huge, huge contribution.

जब आप कोई एक काम कर रहे होते हैं—फ़ोन पर बात करना, मैसेज करना या कुछ और—तो आप अनजाने में ही कोई दूसरा काम नहीं कर रहे होते। आज की दुनिया में सबसे दुर्लभ चीज़ क्या है? तेल नहीं, बल्कि समय। समय बहुत कीमती है। इसे यूँ ही बर्बाद मत कीजिए।

When you are doing one thing - talking on your phone, texting, whatever - you are automatically not doing something else. What is the greatest scarcity in the world today? It's not oil. It's time. Time is precious. Don't throw it away.
