Your comment is a bit ridiculous, which is why you're getting downvoted, but for different reasons my Massachusetts-based self takes Dean Kamen-related stuff with a grain of salt.
People may or may not remember, but back around 1999-2000 there was this insane, cult-like hype that his investors/hangers-on/groupies put out about how Dean Kamen had created the most revolutionary invention in world history. Nobody knew anything about it or what it was, but people were writing books about how genius mad scientist Dean Kamen was about to change human civilization forever.
Then we had the reveal that the mysterious invention was a new form of transportation. The Kamen cultists announced that it was going to replace driving. It was going to replace walking. (Yes, people actually said this).The hype soared higher than it's been for any product since, even the iPhone. People were speculating that he must have invented a hoverboard, like in Back to the Future, since that's the only thing that could have any chance of living up to the hype.
And then, in a worldwide multimedia event, on the evening news back when people watched the evening news, on the front page of every newspaper back when people read the newspaper, he unveiled… the Segway, a product that was more Hoveround than hoverboard.
Kamenmania disappeared virtually overnight. The nails were hammered into the coffin when it turned out it actually couldn't go up and down stairs as advertised, and then when George Bush fell off one. And so in my mind and many others' Kamen will forever be the Geraldo Rivera opening up Al Capone's vault of innovation.
