What has happened to Ginger? Ask Fred

1. At first, it was called It and everybody asked the question, “What’s It?” The Harvard Business School Press offered $250,000 for a book about It and newspapers were trying to guess what It could be. But at that point It was a top-secret project and nobody knew what it really was.

2. The next      step was the book. The author, Steve Kemper, wrote that It “is going to revolutionise personal transport, the looks of our cities and our everyday lives”. Kemper mentioned Its name – Ginger – but no technical details.

3.So what’s It or Ginger? Ten months after the book, we still don’t know fro sure. There are many theories. Some people think it is a flying car, and some others see it as a form of hot-air balloon. Steve Jobs of Apple Computer said it could be even bigger than the PC.

4. One person who surely knows a lot about Ginger is its inventor, Dean Kamen,49. Kamen has already invented some machines, for example, a portable pump and wheelchair that can climb stairs. But he doesn’t want to speak about Ginger and gets angry with journalists when they ask for an interview.

5.So is there any place where we can find something about Ginger’s identity? Yes, there is: the US Patent Office where Kamen sent his application forms. We have found there a few pictures which show a machine very much like a scooter. And the name of the wheelchair? It is Fred!
