Remember when Dean Kamen claimed that the Segway would change the way we built cities? Most hilarious product launch ever.
As for a hoverboard - sure it's technically more interesting than a Segway, but would it truly revolutionize anything?

Seriously though, I think that the technology behind a hoverboard would probably have far more implications than the technology behind the Segway. The product itself might not revolutionize much, but the technology behind it would.
