      Laser’s have so many uses, now and into the future, lasers and fibre optics are the basis for the fibre optic broadband you can get and will only get better.
      Lasers can be used to treat diseases, with nanotechnology we may one day be able to use nanodevices in the body to target cancer cells and use lasers to heat up the cancer cells and kill it leaving the rest of the body un harmed.
      There’s also work on making computers out of lasers, to use pulsed laser light instead of electricity. Which could lead to quantum computers.
