What's the Segway?


The Segway is the electric vehicle which can drive around the open area or the grass filed. It is similar to an electric bike. The Segway has two wheels in the middle has a metal framework consist with a plat from where driver can stand on it. In the front of the plat from has tall post with handles foe hold. All of these will help driver to balance their body because the Segway has been controlled by thinking. Driver just leans their body to indicate which way he wants to go. The Segway can travel about 17 miles. The slowest speed is 6 miles per hour and the highest is 12.5 miles per hour. The Segway speed is analyzed from balance of driver.


I thing the Segway can do many things that helpful for people. Therefore, it’s a high technology that people create in this period. The Segway has a shape that is very easy to use just leans the body to make it move. The balance is also impotent too. Anyway, this thing can be the helpful vechicle for the future.

The volcano casts cloud over Europe economic

I read the article about the Iceland volcano. It said the eruption of volcano in Iceland made the cloud full of ash. The shadow in the sky made the economic go down. A volcano under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland closed the airspace. As a result, 63,000 flights of airplanes had to cancel. This situation cost airline to pay at least $200 million a day.

I think this natural disaster happen because people do a lot of things that effect the environment. However my estimate can be wrong. May be it might happen in other reasons. This situation makes a lot of financial decrease particularly in airlines business. They have to lose profit because the shadows in the air disturb airplanes. So they can't see the way. Optimistically, the ash in the air won't be long. It might go away soon.
