Tom Scott is a British geek comedian, programmer, and formerly the presenter of ''Gadget Geeks'' on Sky One. In 2004, Scott produced a website parodying the British government's emergency response procedures and included a section explaining what to do in case of a zombie apocalypse. The GICS Operations Web Team responded by demanding the site be taken down. Other web-related humour Scott has created include "Evil", a web app that reveals the phone numbers of Facebook users, "Tweleted"—which allows you to see posts deleted from Twitter, and "What's Osama bin Watchin?", which mashes together an image of Osama bin Laden with Internet meme videos from YouTube like the song ''Friday''. In 2012, Scott released 'Klouchebag', a satire of the social media rankings site Klout. Scott also has a popular YouTube Channel with over 250,000 subscribers and more than 34 million views.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/user/enyay/about )〕 Tom is also a regular on the YouTube Channel Computerphile.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzH6n4zXuckqmf_xUcvU5caZVoctP2ehL )〕 Scott was the UK organiser of International Talk Like A Pirate Day, and successfully ran as "Mad Cap'n Tom" for student union president at the University of York. In 2008, his University Radio York radio show, "The Technical Difficulties", won the Kevin Greening Award at the Student Radio Awards. More recently, The Technical Difficulties has been relaunched as a podcast. In 2010, following his involvement in pirate-related humour, Scott ran for Parliament—again as "Mad Cap'n Tom"—in the Cities of London and Westminster constituency as a joke candidate promising to scrap taxes on rum, have schools offer courses in "swordsmanship and gunnery", and putting a 50% tax on downloads of Cheryl Cole MP3s. He described his chances of winning in the safe Conservative seat of Westminster as "()omewhere 'twixt a snowball's chance in hell an' zero." He received 84 votes, 0.2% of the total. Also in 2010, Scott captained the Hitchhikers in series 3 of BBC Four's ''Only Connect''. They reached the semi-finals, but were knocked out by the Strategists. In 2013, Scott received widespread coverage for 'Actual Facebook Graph Searches', a Tumblr site which exposes potentially embarrassing or dangerous collation of public Facebook data using Facebook's Graph Search, such as showing men in Tehran who have said that they are "interested in men", or "Single women who live nearby and are interested in men and like getting drunk".〔(Actual Facebook Graph Searches )〕 In 2014, Scott co-founded (with Matt Gray) Emojli, an emoji-only social network based on social networking application Yo. It was described by Slate as "an inside joke turned into reality". ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Scott (TV presenter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
