Why don’t the people that deserve attention get it?
Okay, let me ask you something… How many people here have
Paris Hilton?
How many people here have heard of Dean Kamen?
You may have seen some of his inventions- heck, one of them, the Segway, is becoming common among tourist rental places and law enforcement of big cities.
He built a highly advanced wheelchair that can cover nearly any terrain, even climb stairs, and balance on two wheels.
He built a very articulate robotic arm that offers around 17 degrees of motion to people that have lost their own. Previously, the most you could get about 5 to 7.
Most recently that I heard of, he appeared on the Colbert Report with a very good water purifier that extracted clean water out of anything and everything put in it.
If a man that could change the world isn’t getting recognition and a few dumb celebrities get it because *OH MAH GAWD* they stepped out of a limo with a mini skirt and no underwear, what does that say about us?
*have heard of Paris Hilton or Britney Spears… Answers mutilated my question!
