Thumbs down Swedish Museum of Failures adds a Segway.

"Dr. West characterized the Segway as a “catastrophic” failure that fell short of expectations to revolutionize transportation. “Now it’s a silly device for kids or for company team-building activities,” he said."

It was a catastrophic failure considering the hype. Seemed good on paper. Like Google Glass. The museum makes a point of the great value of these failures to the innovation process. Funny that google glass is in there.
