This is a story about hoverboards, but let's just get something straight. The name is a lie. Hoverboards, at least the ones you've been reading about since rapper Wiz Khalifa was arrested riding one, do not hover. They roll. They roll like a Segway without handlebars, because that's what they are. Tourists and "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" love Segways. Rappers and athletes and celebrities love "hoverboards" — which means they are cool. Which means your teenage son is going to ask for one for Christmas. Soon, they'll start selling them at Brookstone, and Apple will make an iHover. They seem to be a lie that's here to stay, so hop on board and let's get rolling. Hope floats...
