hipster
人々が新しい製品コンセプトを持ち寄って著名人が評価をするというイベントが開催されました。記事の先頭にある”hipster”が気になり，『Wisdom英和辞典（第三版）』（三省堂）で調べると「流行の先端を行く人」というものがありました。Weblioでは「通（つう）」とあり親しみやすい表現であると思いました。
企業内でアイデアを考えるだけでなく広く一人からの意見により新たな製品が生み出されるのはいいことであると思います。（Ume）
Bill Nye and Andy Samberg, Odd Couple Judges for User Inventions at SXSW
South by Southwest is known for its convergence of hipsters and geeks, and the hosts of the Quirky+GE Night of Invention event were emblematic of that odd couple vibe.
The event was a sort of “Shark Tank” for new product ideas, and the panel of judges included Bill Nye, host of StarTalk Live (and of Science Guy fame), actor and comedian Andy Samberg and Quirky founder Ben Kaufman.
“The challenge is to do more with less,” Nye declared while judging Saturday’s event in Austin, Texas.
The event was simultaneously hosted in front of a live audience and live-streamed to more than 1 million people who tuned in from home to watch and vote on their favorites.
