About a decade ago, a tech company announced that it was about to announce a new invention that would completely transform and revolutionize society. For weeks, they went on and on and on about how the lives of every person would be greatly improved by this new product.

Without even knowing what the product was, I knew it was all hype. Real surprises aren't announced in advance. They just happen.

The new product turned out to be the Segway. And everyone's life is still the same.

LOL, I remember that. They were so full of themselves about it, too. And when I read the article saying how the guy built a device in a boardroom I knew it could only be crap.

Yep, I remember that. And all that came of it is some guy drove one off a cliff.
