I think you're being a bit unfair here. First, the Segway is now entrenched in our society, thus it's lived up to a lot of its hype (though not all haha). Second, your main complaint seems to be that he's talking about it before showing a prototype. You're being an unnecessarily harsh critic IMO if you require that each idea presented to you must have a physical component.

Agree with the criticism of the above comment, but I think "the Segway is now entrenched in our society" is a very bold (and unfounded, IMO) claim.
I've set to see a single one in the flesh. The only ones I've seen in photographs are tourist gimmicks. Granted, I've never travelled to North America, but I do live in a developed western country.
