A mother using a Segway


Some people might say that walking is not their thing. People who don’t like walking or exercise would try to avoid walking by using alternative transportation modes. For example a person may use a car or bus, skate board or even roller blades, instead of using their own two feet to walk. Some people don’t understand the importance of walking or how walking can benefit them. For once, standing is better than sitting and walking is better than not walking.
In the picture above, we see a mom ridding a mobile scooter. We see a lady who is taking a “walk “ on the park pushing her stroller. The women is actually ridding a Segway and pushing a baby stroller instead of walking in the park pushing her baby stroller, just like any normal person would do. A Segway, is a two wheeled, self balancing scooter. This Segway, shows the artificial side of the world because if you think about it, you notice that people would choose a mobile scooter instead of walking to work or take a walk in the park. This is an example of illusion to the real world because when I think about ancient years people had to walk and go through obstacles in order to get to their destination. They had to walk long distances which nowadays are shortening by technology and this mobile scooter also known as a Segway.
Why do we have to find alternatives of transportation in order to get to a destination or do things? If we were created to be born with two legs then we should be able to use those muscles and walk instead of using alternatives. Therefore this is why I choose the mobile scooter because its something that makes part of our pop culture.
