				<SPAN id="vidDescRemain">Innovator Dean Kamen lays out his argument for the Segway shortly after its official unveiling. As he loops gracefully around the stage, his fact- and figure-reeling betrays his intensity: 50 percent of the world population lives in cities; 43 percent of the refined fuel produced in the world is consumed by cars in metropolitan areas in the US; "the last mile is the problem." He also gives an update on FIRST -- the nonprofit he founded to celebrate teenagers' achievements in science and technology -- and offers a glimpse into his next big ideas: portable energy and water purification for the developing world.</SPAN>
