Comment More money for Kamen? (Score 1) 1787
Think about it: The more people use IT, the less people will walk, ride a bike, etc. The already out of shape average American will become even more obese and get diabetes. Then they'll need to buy Kamen's insulin pump.
It's kind of sad. Who would be foolish enough to buy one of these when for a third or even sixth of the price you could get a decent road or hybrid bicylce. Even though IT uses a small amount of energy, you still need to charge the battery. That energy has to be produced somewhere, be it from a coal plant or some other source.
You could get a rad Italian road bike for $3000.
