TED what is doodle ？
So I just want to tell you my story. I spend a lot of time teaching adults how to use visual(视觉) language and doodling(涂鸦) in the workplace. And naturally, I encounter(遇到) a lot of resistance(抵触), Because it's considered to be anti-intellectual(反知识分子，不理性) and counter(相反、回答、计数器等等) to serious learning. But I have a problem with that belief, because I know that doodling has a profound(意义深远) impact（影响）on the way that we can process information and the way that we can solve problems.
So I was curious about why there was a disconnect(切断) between the way our society perceives(感觉) doodling and the way that the reality is . So I discovered some very interesting things. For example , there's no such thing as a flattering(谄媚讨好) definition（解释） of a doodle. In the 17th century , a doodle was a simpleton(傻子) or a fool-- as in Yankee Doodle. In the 18th century , it became a verb, and it meant to swindle(欺骗) or ridicule（嘲笑） or to make fun of someone. In the 19th century, it was a corrupt(腐败) politician. And today, we have what is perhaps our most offensive(讨厌，反对) definition, at least to me ,which is the following :To doodle officially means to dawdle(懒、混),to dilly dally (吊儿郎当) , to monkey around（鬼混胡闹）, to make meaningless marks, to do something of little value, substance or impact, and my personal favorite to do nothing.
No wonder people are averse(反对) to doodling at work. Doing nothing at work is akin(同一意思) to masturbating（手 淫） at work; it's totally inappropriate(不恰当). Additionally, I've heard horror(恐怖) stories from people whose teachers scolded(责骂) them , of course , for doodling in classroom . And they have bosses who scold them for doodling in the boardroom(会议室). There is a powerful cultural norm against doodling in settings in which we are supposed to learn something. And unfortunately, the press tends to reinforce(加强) this norm when they're reporting on a doodling scene--of an important person at a confirmation hearing and the like ---they typically use words like discovered or caught or found out, as if there's some sort of criminal act being committed.
And additionally, there is a psychological(心里) aversion（厌倦） to doodling--thank you ,Freud. In the 1930s , F told us all that you could analyze people's psyches (心灵) based on their doodles. This is not accurate , but it did happen to Tony Blair at the DF in 2005, when his doodles were discovered and he was labeled(标签) the following things. Now it turned out to be Bill's doodle. And Bill ,if you're here, nobody thinks you're megalomaniacal(自大狂). But that does contribute(贡献) to people not wanting to share their doodles.
And here is the real deal. Here's what I believe. I think that our culture is so intensely focused on verbal information that we're almost blinded to the value of doodling. And I'm not comfortable with that. And so because of that belief that I think needs to be burst(冲撞。爆破), I 'm here to send us all hurtlting back to the truth. And here's the truth: doodling is an incredibly(难以置信) powerful tool, and it is a tool that we need to remember and to relearn. So here's a new definition for doodling. And I hope there's someone in here from The Oxford English Dictionary, because I want to talk to you later. Here's the real definition : Doodling is really to make spontaneous(自发) marks to help yourself think. That is why millions of people doodle.
Here's another interesting truth about the doodle: People who doodle when they're exposed(暴露) to verbal information retain more of that information than their non-doodling counterparts. We think doodling is something you do when you lose focus, but in reality , it is a preemptive(预防) measure to stop you from losing focus. Additionally ,it has a profound(深厚寓意) effect on creative problem solving and deep information processing. There are four ways that learners intake information so that they can make decisions. They are visual (视觉), auditory（听觉）, reading and writing and kinesthetic(运动).Now in order for us to really chew(咀嚼了解) on information and do something with it , we have to engage at least two of those modalities, or we have to engage one of those modalities coupled with an emotional experience.
The incredible contribution of the doodle is that it engages all four learning modalities simultansously (同时) with the possibility of an emotional experience. That is a pretty solid(坚固) contribution for a behavior equated with doing nothing. This is so nerdy(蠢), But this made me cry when I discovered this . So they did anthropological(人类学) research into the unfolding(伸缩，延展到) of artistic activity in children, and they found that , across space and time , all children exhibit(展示出) the same evolution(进化) in visual logic as they grow. In other words , they have a shared and growing complexity in visual language that happens in a predictable order. And I think that is incredible. I think that means doodling is native to us and we simply are denying ourselves that instinct(本能 ).
And finally ,a lot of people aren't privy to this, but the doodle is a precursor(先兆) to some of our greatest cultural assets(资产). This is but one : this is FG the architect's precursor to the G in AD. So here is my point: under no circumstances(环境) should doodling be eradicated (移除 ) from a classroom or a boardroom or even the war room. On the contrary, doodling should be leveraged(改变) in precisely(精确) those situation where information density is very high and the need for processing that information is very high. And I will go you one further . Because doodling is so universally accessible and it is not intimidating as an art form, it can be leveraged as a portal(手段) through which we move people into higher levels of visual literacy(认知能力).
My friends , the doodle has never been the nemesis(报应，天敌) of intellectual thought. In reality , it is one of its greatest allies.

通篇听下来感觉就是累。。耳朵被耳机夹的很痛。个人感觉这个演讲者没有啥魅力。也没有什么力证。整个演讲就是为了涂鸦而正名。告诉你涂鸦不是无所事事，不是无聊，不是吊儿郎当。而是开启人类认知能力的一种方式。它是视觉，听觉，读，写，运动的结合。哇塞。真的有这么牛逼吗。不就是画画吗。即便很牛逼，我也没从这篇演讲里听出毛啊。
