Dave Isay opened the first StoryCorps booth in New York’s Grand Central Terminal in 2003 with the intention of creating a quiet place where a person could honor someone who mattered to them by listening to their story. Since then, StoryCorps has evolved into the single largest collection of human voices ever recorded. His TED Prize wish: to grow this digital archive of the collective wisdom of humanity. Hear his vision to take StoryCorps global — and how you can be a part of it by interviewing someone with the StoryCorps app. 

2003年，Dave Isay 的第一个故事盒子（StoryCorps booth）在纽约的中央火车站向公众开放。在这个平静的地方，人们采访并倾听对自己有重要意义的身边人的故事。从那以后，StoryCorps成为了全球最大的也是唯一的人类声音档案库。今年获得TED大奖的Dave Isay，发布了如下的心愿：让这个人类智慧和声音的电子档案库持续生长。一起来听一听这位大奖获得者的愿景，将StoryCorps发展成全球的项目 —— 以及你！可以如何成为这激动人心的项目的一员，只需下载StoryCorps，开始采访对你重要的人吧！

4:43 I want to play just one animated excerpt from an interview recorded at that original Grand Central Booth. This is 12-year-old Joshua Littman interviewing his mother, Sarah. Josh has Asperger's syndrome. As you may know, kids with Asperger's are incredibly smart but have a tough time socially. They usually have obsessions. In Josh's case, it's with animals, so this is Josh talking with his mom Sarah at Grand Central nine years ago.

5:11(Video) Josh Littman: From a scale of one to 10, do you think your life would be different without animals? Sarah Littman: I think it would be an eight without animals, because they add so much pleasure to life.

5:21JL: How else do you think your life would be different without them?

5:24SL: I could do without things like cockroaches and snakes.

5:27JL: Well, I'm okay with snakes as long as they're not venomous or constrict you or anything.

5:31SL: Yeah, I'm not a big snake person --

5:33JL: But cockroach is just the insect we love to hate.

5:36SL: Yeah, it really is.

5:37JL: Have you ever thought you couldn't cope with having a child?

5:40SL: I remember when you were a baby, you had really bad colic, so you would just cry and cry.

5:45JL: What's colic? SL: It's when you get this stomach ache and all you do is scream for, like, four hours.

5:51JL: Even louder than Amy does?

5:53SL: You were pretty loud, but Amy's was more high-pitched.

5:56JL: I think it feels like everyone seems to like Amy more, like she's the perfect little angel.

6:02SL: Well, I can understand why you think that people like Amy more, and I'm not saying it's because of your Asperger's syndrome, but being friendly comes easily to Amy, whereas I think for you it's more difficult, but the people who take the time to get to know you love you so much.

6:18JL: Like Ben or Eric or Carlos? SL: Yeah --

6:21JL: Like I have better quality friends but less quantity? (Laughter)

6:25SL: I wouldn't judge the quality, but I think -- JL: I mean, first it was like, Amy loved Claudia, then she hated Claudia, she loved Claudia, then she hated Claudia.

6:33SL: Part of that's a girl thing, honey. The important thing for you is that you have a few very good friends, and really that's what you need in life.

6:41JL: Did I turn out to be the son you wanted when I was born? Did I meet your expectations?

6:48SL: You've exceeded my expectations, sweetie, because, sure, you have these fantasies of what your child's going to be like, but you have made me grow so much as a parent, because you think --

6:59JL: Well, I was the one who made you a parent.

7:01SL: You were the one who made me a parent. That's a good point. (Laughter) But also because you think differently from what they tell you in the parenting books, I really had to learn to think outside of the box with you, and it's made me much more creative as a parent and as a person, and I'll always thank you for that.

7:20JL: And that helped when Amy was born?

7:21SL: And that helped when Amy was born, but you are so incredibly special to me and I'm so lucky to have you as my son. (Applause)

7:37David Isay: After this story ran on public radio, Josh received hundreds of letters telling him what an amazing kid he was. His mom, Sarah, bound them together in a book, and when Josh got picked on at school, they would read the letters together. I just want to acknowledge that two of my heroes are here with us tonight. Sarah Littman and her son Josh, who is now an honors student in college. (Applause)
