I have a favor to ask:
Can we please stop using the word 'hip' to describe anyone youthful who is in any capacity, aware of what's going on around them? It's getting as bad as the words 'hipster' and 'yuppie' and says about as much about the person as does the term 'rockstar'.
I don't know if 'hip' is anything you'd use to describe a computer science student, not that there's anything wrong with that.
