The CBS network gives him the credit of changing the world one invention at a time. This News Report gives a brief history and explanation of the Segway. Dean Kamen quotes " 3.2 Billion americans live in cities, the average speed of a city cab is 12 mph. If the Segway can go 12 miles per hour, if the Segway can be an attractive compromise to a large automobile, we can solve the energy shortage and stop pollution. 

This video uses very good footage of Dean Kamen's Segway plant and an interview with the man himself. This video also tells about our nations problems (the energy shortage/pollution), and Dean Kamen's solutions to this problem. This video was very helpful to my research because it tells me why Dean Kamen has invented a lot of inventions that are environmentally friendly. It is nice to know that someone cares about the environment.
