Nothing can surprise me any longer since I have realized how creative this world is and how inventive people are. They are just scooters but with something like battery to make them move around. However, having one transport like this is fascinating and cool indeed. No doubt, people up there must be very excited for standing on such a lovely new invention which can carry them to wherever they want to go. Although somehow it may look a little bit awkward because of the straight standing and the seemingly not-so-relaxed position, I would like to give it a shot if a license is not required.
The people in picture 1, perhaps, they are doing their job. such a kind of some people who order fast food,and then,the people in the picture they are using this kind of trransportation to send for the customer.It looks like they are very busy in their job,but it also seems they are very happy and enjoy their job. I think use this kind of transportation will very
interesting for use it. I think it is a converient transportation in their daily life. Because they don't need to spend a lot of time to find where their car can park. It is also save their time.
Another ideal is that maybe they are doing exercise in the city. It is allso just for fun.
In picture2, I think that it is a carved statue in the park. Before, I saw this kind of statue in my country park. Arrange of priest statue standing in the park.So, when i see this picture let me think about it.
Technology advances more and more by days. People create vehicles such as cars and trains to shorten the distance between places to places. In this way, people can arrive at where they want to go in a short time, without exhausting human powers by walking. Today, there is an amazing creation that human beings even need not walk on the streets. Just stand on this machine with two wheels, and press on certain buttons to control your speed. By taking on it, you will not feel tired walking for a long time or in a far distance. This fantastic creation makes people lives more convenient.

To be honest, I don’t like these pictures very much. It seems a bit of scary and confusing to me somehow. With the great advanced technology, we expect a more automatic or totally unlabored life. However, this idea may be really excellent in saving petroleum and reducing pollution, but I question such invention could generally replaces the traditional transport or it simply becomes another way for walking. The first impression that suddenly strike my mind is that people look like rolling-robots standing on two wheels. I worried that people will become much lazier and aloof in the society. What a pity when we meet others on the streets but would not stop for a while to send regards! In my opinion, it would good for the elderly and sick people but not for the great dream of becoming “robots”.
