I don't like those things... They don't go too fast and they can't travel too far, so why the hell not just walk? Or ride a bike?

I remembered doing a project about the Segway in Info Tech..

Heh, it was crap back then, and it's crap now..

I can't imagine putting insurance on that. You can't STEAL it. It's impossible. Think of the getaway. You could walk and catch the person.

I used to want one but the price has steered me clear of ever pursuing one. Their not that cool anyways. Before the inventor released it, everyone was thinking of what the myserious project codenamed 'Ginger' would be. Everyone was thinking it was going to be some amazing, out-of-this-world, revolutionary invention. I was disappointed.

I think its a neat Idea, and I think the science behind them is interesting. Its cool how they are able to balance themselves. I wouldnt mind trying one out sometime, but I really cant imagine actually owning one, that is inless other people start owning and using one therefore making me look like not so much of an Idiot.

I dont think society has gotten lazy enough to buy into this whole concept.

I mean why walk short distances when you can pay to buy a machine to do the walking for you?

I wanted a Segway about as much as i want a nice swift kick in the balls every morning. (why dont they just add a 3rd wheel? Maddox brings up a good point....then they dont need all that balance stuff...) Plus i think they Segway is illegal to ride on they sidewalk where i live, because the (like) 5 people who had one would constantly run into people.
