Re: Segway listed as #1 on list of 50 worst inventions.

You could also look at it from another perspective, go to google and type in segway tours. This invention has made a new type of firm possible in some economies who completely depend on the tourism industry. Some of these may include islands in the Caribbean, vacation spots in Florida, etc.

Also, if you read the subtitle of the article it reads...

From the zany to the dangerous to the just plain dumb, here is TIME's list (in no particular order) of some of the world's bright ideas that just didn't work out.
which means that the segway isn't necessarily the #1 worst, according to the author.
