From what I gather, humans won't be moving much at all eventually, except without the help of some automatic machine.
Oh, I forgot--exercise will always be plentiful in the spa (for a monthly fee.)
The Segway never caught on because it was overpriced and no one (Malls,supermarkets, stores) would NOT allow you to ride that thing inside. Since you couldn't go shopping with it, you're only hope was to lock it outside on a bike rack. That just wasn't an option. In other words, you had to babysit this thing everywhere you went and it really limited where you could go. All that unnecessary attention really gets to you after a while.
A much better idea is a $50.00 bike, U-lock and chain (No Kryptonite)
