Didn't I tell you about it? You've got to try one!!

Remarkable invention the Segway.  I had no idea that the manuevering of the machine was due to the individual's stance and balance.  Lean forward and you shall move forward.  Lean back and you shall reverse.  Stand perfectly straight and in complete alignment and your segway will stop!  How ingeneous!  

I wonder if we as a society can appreciate the deeper significance of the intuitive nature of the Segway.  As with a Segway, the same motions/forces we exert upon ourselves will determine our direction as well.  

On to the pictures of my tour... Did I tell you about it?  It was grand!  You simply must try it for yourself!
