Light of the 21st Century

Once the science-fiction dream of a death-ray, the laser is now popping up in all kinds of places.
Lasers are already in supermarkets, manufacturing industry and laboratories. Will they bring us 3D films and television? Will we soon be communicating through lasers? Will the military develop the death-ray?
One thing is for sure - an important piece of 21st-century technology is already here.
