I love technology.
And I certainly love dance.
Recently, I saw a remarkable marriage of the two, in a sleek, contemporary fusion of multi-media and art. The videography is pretty sweet, too. Set to Justin Bieber’s “What do you mean,” the YouTube sensation features five guys “dancing” on hover boards. The choreography and execution are flawless, making it rather mesmerizing to watch.
You have to see this:
They make it look so easy, don’t they?
Segway – the product name was chosen for its similarity with the original spelling segue, meaning a smooth transition from one place to another.
Is this the next generation of transportation in urban areas? Still banned in many places, hover boards and electric scooters like the Segway offer many opportunities for pollution reduction and relief from traffic – similar to bikes. So, should they be considered more seriously as alternate modes of transportation as city congestion continues to increase?
A model similar to the ones in the video were featured recently on an online coupon site, Buytopia, for $379 (reg. $699)
Beyond the
practicality of urban commuting, they’re just plain fun to ride. I have glided
on the Adventurer all-terrain model of the Segway several times while on
vacation in Mexico.
Once you get
used to balancing your weight to control the movement of the glider, you feel a
sense of freedom. A leisurely spin around your neighborhood or a faster zip
down the road gives you the chance to see the world with an unobstructed view
and with unmatched agility. Battery-operated and rechargeable, the Segway has
hours of power to keep you moving, and is surprisingly quiet.
Get your glide on
I encourage you to try it out; go out of your comfort zone,
see things from a different perspective and expand your reality. Glide your way
into the next generation of transportation and exploration.
Once you’ve experienced the thrill of the glide, you will
appreciate even more the skill in the video.
