The invention of laser allowed development in the field of entertainment, medical science, and industrial design. Laser technology is a great example of a single development which consequently led to other applications and actualizations of endless possibilities.The use of laser started out as the medical laser application on the eye’s reattachment of the retina in 1962. This kind of laser surgery is still widely being used and developed up to our modern day. Laser printer which was invented in 1969 allowed the increased accuracy and speed in the printing technology. An example of laser application which brought visual pleasure and futuristic scene to our ordinary lives is the laser lighting display often used in concerts, club lightings, and night festivals. Lastly, the laser pointer (1980s) and laser mouse (2004) are other applications of laser on the products that increased the amount of accuracy of their performance and allowed the users to overcome their limits by use of the tool.
Laser technology has become a big part of our daily lives as it added another layer of accuracy as well as visual pleasure, making our dreams come true.
