# 8 SegaNet

SegaNet, the dial-up gaming device introduced in 2000 by Sega, was a shift that the company had made following the failure of its Saturn and Dreamcast consoles. It was a time when Sega's consoles were beaten up by Sony’s Playstation and Nintendo’s consoles. SegaNet was one of the Internet’s first gaming services. Brad Huang, president and CEO of Sega.com assured that the device would permanently change the face of the gaming industry.

But the destiny of Sega’s new innovation was more miserable when compared to the failure faced by the consoles that the company produced. Thus, SegaNet lasted for only 11 months and in the same year the company pulled the plug.

# 7 Segway Human Transporter

Segway Human Transporter launched in 2002 came up with a promise that it would change how people live and build cities. Segway, code named as “Ginger” or “IT”, was a two-wheeled, self-balancing electric vehicle which carried one person at a time to his/her short-distance destinations. It was aimed at being used by employees in various companies and institutions.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos suggested that it would be "one the most famous and anticipated product introductions of all time." The inventor, Dean Kamen felt his creation "will be to the car what the car was to the horse and buggy."  But sooner or later, the innovation was thrown to dustbin as it couldn’t attract much of customers.
