[extropy-chat] Segways banned in Disney World

It's interesting that disney bans the segway as it is not a medical device
(per the FDA). What's sad is that their approach to new technology is to ban
it.

The segway can be seen as a body modification so it's user becomes sort of a
cyborg (especially in the case of otherwise disabled persons).

It's also interesting and dishearting that san francisco has banned the
segway from sidewalks.

I guess this is an example of the public not coping with transhumanist
themes very well.
