so it's now december 4th. I completely missed good morning america, and have not heard a word about this "it" or "ginger". Can someone who saw the show fill myself, and anyone else who is in the dark, in on what "the most important invention of the century" is?
Thanks

 

Well I'm not sure what all the hype was about but here's an article about "IT" if you're interested...

And here's another site devoted to "IT"

Here's a link to the GMA video where they show Diana Sawyer riding around with "IT"

What a dumb invention. For 8 grand you can either get a 12mph, 15 mile range battery powered scooter that magically keeps balance, or you can get a brand new 600cc japanese crotch rocket that uses gyroscopic forces to keep balance too, while traveling at speeds ten times that of the scooter and using just a little bit more energy with gas milelage at around 40mpg.

A lot of hype for a scooter.

 

thanks for the link. I couldn't wake up early to see this thing. Pretty cool. I would get one for the race track. So, I don't have to walk up and down the pit stright or in the back.

That would be cool for AutoX walk. I like this thing though.

 

The supermarket and the gym I workout at are a few blocks away. I could use this thing to go to both places, instead of driving.

 

You could use a pogo stick too, but you don't. Of course you could use it, but that doesn't mean it offers anything that potential alternatives can't do better. Name one thing that Segway does that nothing else can potentially do.
