It’s that time again to remind you how old you are. If you remember the invention of the laser beam, you are officially older than dirt. Of course the word Laser is an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation". Now, don’t you feel smarter for that?
We imagine that on May 16th, 1960, when the first laser was fired, no-one involved was particularly concerned with the invention's impact upon pop culture.
