Honda's new personal mobility device.

Quite impressive, particularly the duality of wheels within a wheel. A big ball may work for Dyson vacuums but wheels fit a powered device better. Plus this thing looks good. ^_^ Wondering what the endurance/range is.

That's awesome! I want one.

Ok, that thing is pretty f'n sweet, but damn people are lazy enough already. Our appendages are going to atrophy into nothingness. There's gotta be some negative health repercussions from overuse of something like that. People need to move their bodies.

/down off brief soapbox.

That darked haired girl has some GIANT feet. Baby coffins, if you will.

EDIT: Attn mods, mentioning baby coffins does not mean i wish death on babies. Its a Bulgarian term for big feet.

Time for genetic engineering to get off its ass and get going so we can wipe out that problem of muscles deteriorating from lack of use.
Since availability of food doesn't seem to be an issue, at least for the first world:\, needing to save energy on maintaining costly muscle mass isn't really a problem anymore.

 

[The_Dude8]
