Remember the Segeways from years ago and how they were going to revolutionize travel? Has anyone seen one lately? Did anyone see a person using one back then? I saw one on a college campus about a year after they were first introduced. One time. That’s it and I haven’t seen one since.

I saw two, together, a few years after the hype. I can’t think of a less practical conveyance for the Oregon coast.

The very idea that Segways were going to revolutionize transportation illustrates how engineers can be technically brilliant and still be blind to the human application of their inventions.

That said, the balance sensors and mechanisms of Segways have probably been used in many other devices with little fanfare.
