My name is Ryan Lee
and the short clip you've just seen
is a video I've created using my GoPro.
What is a GoPro?
A GoPro is a camcorder
primarily used for filming extreme activities
where filming with a normal camera would be extremely difficult,
or in some situations, impossible.
GoPros are light, compact, and above all,
can be mountable and wearable.
In the past, if you wanted to attach a GoPro on yourself,
it would have been difficult
since no other cameras would be designed for that particular purpose.
Let's say you wanted to attach a camera on your head;
it would look something like this.
It doesn't look that comfortable, right?
The GoPro allows us to do this.
It is known for having a variety of mounts and harnesses
which allows the user to attach them to different surfaces.
Through this, we are able to shoot films in first-person view.
People are now able to film extreme activities,
such as surfing, sky-diving,
mountain-biking, rock climbing,
and also bungee jumping.
GoPros are also used
by many entertainment programs and TV shows.
As you all know, Running Man,
(Korean) Muhandojeon [or Infinite Challenge]
also use the GoPro since it maximizes realism.
My hobby is to view the world through my GoPro.
I was really fascinated with the fact
that I was able to approach the world
in a different perspective that I wasn't used to.
Another unique part of the GoPro
is that it allows me to shoot in a first person view, as I said before.
Through this convenience,
I was able to capture many memorable moments
that would have been impossible to do so with a normal camera.
GoPro is created from a very simple idea.
It is in fact a simple camera, yet no one
could have come up with this groundbreaking idea.
This shows that GoPros
and other complex ideas
are not really the route to success;
it is to find what the world needs,
to find the solution,
and the path to fulfill those needs.
The GoPro has given me a lot of influence,
and it has influenced the way I view the world.
This is mainly because it inspires
thinking out of the box.
I have realized that we can always change the world
by thinking out of the box
and by attempting new challenges
without fearing failure.
We are living in a world surrounded by smart devices.
Everyone has smartphones,
we have tablets, laptops,
smart TVs, and smart textbooks;
and new technology and innovative devices are being created everyday.
We are currently living in a world we refer to as 'the smart world.'
Let me ask you a question:
How is this smart world achieved?
Is it simply because of advances in technology?
In order to approach this question,
I want you to think of all the people in history
who have made creative attempts that made the world today possible.
Let's take a look at a few examples:
Leonardo da Vinci, on the left corner,
had drawn sketches of the submarine and the helicopter,
which was a very innovative idea during that era.
He was a musician, a scientist,
a mathematician, and an engineer.
He was a true pioneer of that era.
He simply lacked the technology
that would have enabled him to make his ideas a reality.
The Wright brothers.
They invented the airplane.
They were the first ones to make flight possible.
We have Thomas Edison.
He invented the light bulb, and through his invention,
we are still influenced in the modern day.
And in the center, we have Steve Jobs.
He has brought a true revolution in consumer electronics.
All of these people had one thing in common:
thinking out of the box.
They were able to merge technology and their ideas.
This has consequently allowed us
to enjoy the conveniences of the smart world.
This leads us to one last question of the day:
does the term smart
simply mean living in a smart world
surrounded by smart devices?
I want you to ask that yourself.
It doesn't mean the evolution of technology,
but to think out of the box,
to see beyond yourself and go beyond the familiar.
In other words:
smart equals creative.
Thank you.
