Techonology and people's mindset, which one is slower than the other?




Dean Kamen said " ..although technology moves very quickly, people's mindset changes very slowly." I think I both agree and disagree with this statement because there are not all of the technologies can be accepted by all people. Some people can adjust into their life easily, but other people is think that it is not easy to use or to understand with new technology. I think the invention besides the Segway is E-Bike. In this moment I have seen people used E-Bike more than Segway in Thailand. Segway is not popular and it is new for us. Another inventions that accepted very quickly is mobile phone. For the example in the picture "iPhone and Blackberry" this two mobile phone are famous in Thailand especially in teenagers because iPhone and Blackberry have a lot of function to used. Instance of chatting program, game, and internet function. From the reasons aboved make mobile phone can attracted to the people very fast.

Segway can adjusted into a sport ?

The Segway can be adapted into a Polo sport. The original polo players used to ride a horses, but now they have Segway, so they can use Segway to be their vehicle in Polo. The rules of Polo is still the same. That is to move a ball to competitor's goal to make a score. The Segway can check the movement of its driver in every second, so it is very responsive to the driver. I think to used Segway is safer than to ride a horse. A horse have a feeling, but Segway is not. A horse can throw away the rider and injured them, but Segway still can not. May be in the future this Segway will replace a horse. You can follow this link to watch a clip of Polo Segway.
