I have seen IT and IT is cool.
I caught the unveiling of new Segway scooter today on Good Morning America, and I am entranced. I know a lot of people are disappointed, but I feel like I’ve looked into the future. I got a tingly feeling completely different from the day I first plugged in my TiVo or saw the ads for new Handsping Treo — those are devices that I can see as logical extenstions of current technology. Instead, when looking at those people zooming around on the Segways, blancing upright without effort, I felt like I was watching a special effects shot from a movie, except it was REAL.
The only problem I forsee with the Segway is that it could make our country even more obese than it already is. While I’d love to have a Segway to tool about campus, it would eliminate the little exercise I get right now from walking…
Hey, Matt, you might want to fix that link…
