New "IT" Invention from 49yr old Scientist Dean Kamen, set to change the world in 2002.   A story broke about a week ago about a new invention dubbed IT.

  If you havn't heard about IT, well then let me tell you what you may not know even if you have heard of IT. IT is well, as the definition states, something. IT exists however and I'm going to shed some light on what I think IT really is. Dean Kamen, a 49 year old scientist and multi-millionaire has invented something which only a few people know what IT really is. They call it, IT because they don't really want everyone to know what IT is. IT's really that big, and those who know have been sworn to secrecy.

  Dean Kamen invented "FRED" named after FRED and Ginger Astair, the famous dancing couple. Fred is a handicapped persons ability to be extremely mobile. Fred is a wheelchair that is able to stand, move up or down steps, go over rough terrain, and it does so with sophisticated computer electronics and Gyroscope's. Many in the Media have said that his new invention IT is based on his second Patent "Ginger". Based on maybe, but is, no way. Let me tell you why.

  Dean Kamen has told the following people what IT is. Bill Gates of Microsoft, Steve Jobs of Apple, of course Bob Metcalfe the inventor of Ethernet while at 3Comm, and lastly Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com. While many of them havn't given too many hints as to what IT is, here's what they did say.
Jeff Bezos "It won't be hard to sell, the question is will they allow us to use it?"
Bob Metcalfe (from MSNBC interview) Question to Bob: "What is IT?"
   Answer from Bob: "Well I can't tell you exactly what IT is because I've been sworn to secrecy, even my kids know and they've been sworn to secrecy. What I can say is IT is a revolutionary invention that will change the world. ITs' not as big as something like Cold Fusion, but IT is a little bigger than the internet."
   Question to Bob: "How big is IT, what is IT's size?"
   Answer from Bob: "Well, this invention can come in all sizes. IT can be small, or IT can be big."
   Question to Bob: "When will WE know what IT is?"
   Answer from Bob: "I don't know, but I imagine since all the media exposure, probably within a day or so."

  Well as the story unfolds, a day later we were told IT would be announced at 2002. Almost a full year from now. But hey, Bob Metcalfe was right, go figure.

  Now I want to go into what IT is, I think. Since IT has to be bigger than the internet, Steve Jobs said they'd build entire Cities around it, and Bill Gates put up $100 Million dollars to fund this, it can't be as simple as the "Ginger" patent which reflects a scooter.

  I think IT is an invention, like many other extremely major inventions that was stumbbled on while inventing something else. I think Dean Kamem unlocked the mysterious properties of the Gyroscope. Here is the definition of Gyroscope.
gyˇroˇscope (jr-skp)
n.
A device consisting of a spinning mass, typically a disk or wheel, mounted on a base so that its axis can turn freely in one or more directions and thereby maintain its orientation regardless of any movement of the base.

  So that is what a gyroscope is. What the definition doesn't mention is that when you combine 2 gyroscopes together, you get a uni-directional force. This msyterious force just kind of defys newtonian laws. This means for instance, you could be sitting perfectly still on a solid plane of ice, flip a switch and move using a gyroscpope's unidirectional force.

  With so many applications for this new technology, it could be possible to replace any mode of transportation that requires a source of power to move. Combined with other technologies, mankind could make anti-gravity devices. Infinite Energy sources are sure to follow, though maybe Cold Fusion, or possibly Perpetual Motion Energy.

  We're in a time of extreme prophecy unfolding. Arthur C. Clarke, inventor of the Communications Satellite and author of 2001: The Space Oddessey, and 2010 has said that in 30 years (or leaving us here at 2001) many incredible technologies would be allowed to be released that would leap frog mankind thousands of years. People, we are here now.

  I predict that in 2002 IT will be exactly what I say IT is. Nextly, Infinite energy will solve the worlds, and Californias Energy problems. Space travel will increase expoenentially. First it was the Personal Computers, then the internet and Never Offline(SM).

  I will make one last prediction. The existance and PROOF of Extra Terrestrial Life will be revealed during George W. Bush's Term as president of the United States. People believing in Aliens will be justified and Roswell will be revealed as absolute truth as it first was in 1947.

  "The shift from 2 dimensional thinking to 3 dimensional thinking is happening but it isn't easy. Minds and consciousness must become aware of the dimension we live in to truely grasp it's vast nature. People are learning and becoming aware, but it isn't easy for mankind to forget the TV or the road to leap for the sky and space unless they want to." - Dustin D. Brand
