In 2008, Cyclone Nargis devastated Myanmar. Millions of people were in severe need of help. The U.N. wanted to rush people and supplies to the area. But there were no maps, no maps of roads, no maps showing hospitals, no way for help to reach the cyclone victims.
Ne 2008, Cikloni Nargis shkaterroi Myanmanr. Miliona njerez ishin ne nevoja te renda per ndihme. U.N deshironte t'ju sherbente njerezve dhe ti furnizonte ata. Po nuk kishte harta, nuk kishte harta te rrugeve, nuk kishte harta per te treguar spitalet, s'kishte harta per te ndihmuar viktimat e ciklonit.
When we look at a map of Los Angeles or London, it is hard to believe that as of 2005, only 15 percent of the world was mapped to a geo-codable level of detail. The U.N. ran headfirst into a problem that the majority of the world's populous faces: not having detailed maps.
Kur ne morem harten e Los Angelos apo Londres, ishte e veshtir te besohej se deri ne 2005, vetem 15 perqind e botes ishte ne hartat geo-kodues te nivelit te detajeve. Kryesuesi i U.N hasi nje problem qe shumica e popullsis se botes hasi: ne munges te hartave te detajuara.
But help was coming. At Google, 40 volunteers used a new software to map 120,000 kilometers of roads, 3,000 hospitals, logistics and relief points. And it took them four days. The new software they used? Google Mapmaker.
Por ndihma ishte duke ardhur. Tek google, 40 vullnetar perdoren nje program per te bere harta te 120,000 kilometrave rrugore, 3,000 spitaleve, logjistikes dhe pikave te besimeve. Dhe i'u desh atyre kater dite. Programi qe ata perdoren? Google mapmaker.
Google Mapmaker is a technology that empowers each of us to map what we know locally. People have used this software to map everything from roads to rivers, from schools to local businesses, and video stores to the corner store.
Google Mapmaker eshte nje teknologji e cila na lejon te gjitheve ne per te hartuar ate qe ne e dim me logjik. Njerezit e kan perdorur kete program per te bere harta prej rrugeve deri tek lumenjte, prej shkollave deri te bizneset lokale, nga dyqanet e vidiove deri tek dyqanet neper cepe.
Maps matter. Nobel Prize nominee Hernando De Soto recognized that the key to economic liftoff for most developing countries is to tap the vast amounts of uncapitalized land. For example, a trillion dollars of real estate remains uncapitalized in India alone.
Hartat kane rendesi. Cmimi nobel nominoi Hernando de Soto duke njohur se elementi kyc ekonomik per shumicen e shteteve ne zhvillim eshte per te nxjerr shumen e tokes se pa-kapitalizuar. Pershembull, nje trilione dollar e kapitalit rri e pa-kapitalizuar ne Indi.
In the last year alone, thousands of users in 170 countries have mapped millions of pieces of information, and created a map of a level of detail never thought viable. And this was made possible by the power of passionate users everywhere.
Vetem ne vitin e fundit, mijera shfrytezues ne 170 shtetet kane hartuar miliona pjese te informacioneve, dhe krijuan nje harte te detajuar qe kurre nuk ishte menduar per te qene e mundur. Dhe kjo ishte mundesuar nga fuqia e shfrytezuesve te pasionuar qe gjenden kudo.
Let's look at some of the maps being created by users right now. So, as we speak, people are mapping the world in these 170 countries. You can see Bridget in Africa who just mapped a road in Senegal. And, closer to home, Chalua, an N.G. road in Bangalore.
Le te shikojme disa nga hartat te cilat ishin krijuar nga shfytzuesit e sotem. Keshtu qe, nderkohe qe flasim, njerezit jane duke krijuar harta te botes ne keto 170 shtete. Ju mund te shihni ura ne Afrik te cilat sapo jane vendosur ne harta apo ne nje rrug ne Senegal. Dhe afer shtepis, Chalua, rruge ne Bangalore.
This is the result of computational geometry, gesture recognition, and machine learning. This is a victory of thousands of users, in hundreds of cities, one user, one edit at a time.
Ky eshe rezultati i gjeometris se kompjuterizuar, xhesteve te njohes dhe makinerive te mesimit. Kjo eshte nje fitore e mijera shfrytezuesve, ne qindra qytete, nje shfrytezues, nje editim ne kohe.
This is an invitation to the 70 percent of our unmapped planet. Welcome to the new world. (Applause)
Kjo eshe nje ftese per 70 perqind te planetit tone te paperfshire ne harte. Miresevini ne boten e re. (duartrokitje)
