Segways weren't a great invention that people were embarrassed by. They were an extremely expensive toy that didn't solve anyone's problems and were bulky enough that they made new problems when people tried to use them.

Bluetooth headsets... are still being used frequently? They haven't seemed to go any particular way.

Segways were also massively overhyped.

Well... I frequently see shopping center security personel at night using Segways...

I guess for patrolling long flat hallways they are nice (and faster).
