Inventor Dean Kamen took the floor at Harvard Business School to discuss ideas, government regulation, and the plight of the inventor—but his wasn’t an ordinary podium. Kamen delivered his remarks atop his moving Segway Human Transporter—recently featured on the cover of Time magazine—to a packed house eager to get a first look at the most hyped invention since cold fusion.
With his bulky black briefcase perched beside him, Kamen calmly demonstrated his invention— also known as Ginger—to 350 people at the HBS Cyberposium 2002 technology conference on February 10. Kamen, dressed in jeans and flannel-lined jean jacket, quietly motored back and forth at the front of the carpeted auditorium and delivered his keynote remarks straight up, without notes.
Referring affectionately to his gray-colored transporter as "this thing", he discussed his invention’s virtues and what he considers its potentially revolutionary effect on human transportation, as well as the trials and satisfactions of being an inventor and an entrepreneur.
After a year of media hype, the device was unveiled in early December. Kamen’s company plans versions of the device for consumers and corporate clients.
As the creator of a vehicle that is electrically powered and produces no emissions, Kamen, a career inventor with 150 patents, also used the opportunity to take a few jabs at the overly complicated energy business. At one point he fell into a brief riff on the fine qualities of energy properties before assuring the audience, dryly, "None of it is as complicated as trying to understand an electric bill."
Kamen presented himself as Exhibit A in the myth of the rabidly successful entrepreneur. Directing his message toward aspiring entrepreneurs in the audience, he said there are certainly rewards to the entrepreneurial life but it’s not a life everyone can stand.
"The word entrepreneur is associated with success and adventure. From my life, the only thing I can tell you that’s consistently associated with entrepreneurship is failure, and the only thing consistently associated with invention is frustration," he said. "There is a long road between the idea and the reality."
Kamen believes that the entrepreneurial life______.
