If you ask me, IT was left best at that. There was no way that it could hold up to what it was made out to be. IT became not something wondered about, but rather the perfect invention in everyone's mind. If you ask my opinion, Dean Kamen made the right choice in the first place to keep it hidden, and I can understand why he hid it in the first place. He knew that if he released it right when he invented it, that it wouldn't have had such high recourse as it did when he kept it secret for a while. If he hid IT for a while longer, the anticipation would have been even more heightened and perhaps the times would have found it better. I think it would be a good idea if released like ten or fifteen years from now, but right now at best we're not ready for it. The error in the whole idea is timing.

just chiming in my two cents
