Even if the Segway never revolutionizes anything I still applaud Dean and his team for creating a very unique piece of equipment with a very exciting human interface. I believe that there are tons of uses for a vehicle like it....in fact I thought of a very interesting application last night.

Imagine that like many Americans yoou were hit by a drunk driver or dove into a shallow pool and lost the use of your legs. Imagine how gratifying and wonderful it would be if you had an opportunity to walk again. Why I mean is.....it's possible that a person who is paralyzed and hasn't enjoyed the freedom to walk, or shop, or talk with people eye to eye, would once again have that chance if they were strapped onto a Segway! They would have upright mobility for a low cost with a relativily high safety margin.
