I think that finically, yes the Segway wasn't the best investment but in terms of engineering and pushing the limits on society it was one of the best Tech inventions of the past decade. What are your thoughts?
I don't agree that the segway at all influenced or changed society, but I agree that from an engineering standpoint it was not a failure.
