moments when a transformative, powerful technology that was before limited to a select few in the ivory tower, 当改变发生时, 那些在之前仅限于少数象牙塔中的强大技术，
finally becomes within the reach of every one of us, from farmers to schoolchildren. 最终能够让我们每一个人接触和使用到，从农民到学生。
Think about the moment when phones stopped being plugged into the wall by cords, 想想那一刻，当手机不再需要插线进行充电，
or when computers left the mainframe and entered your home or your office. 又或者当电脑脱离了大型计算机构架，进入你的家里或者办公室中。

ripples4 of the personal DNA revolution may be hard to predict, 个人DNA革命的涟漪可能很难预测，
but one thing is certain: revolutions don't go

So if you're curious, get up close and personal with DNA -- today. 所以，如果你很好奇，去近距离探索个人化DNA吧--就从今天开始。
It is in our DNA to be curious. Thank you. 因为好奇就存在于我们基因中。谢谢大家。
