A History of the TV, and other things.

Like many people who are alive, I enjoy watching TV. Far from being the sole source of entertainment at the dinner table, the television has arguably become one of the most important information and communication devices ever invented. Even more revolutionary, recent technological developments in monitor systems have made it possible to see displays in larger-than-life HD, or 3D; touch screens allow you to interact with a virtual environment; some screens are thinner than your pocket book of particle physics.

Which is probably on your Kindle now, anyway.

LASERS!?

Let me start this post by stating the obvious: lasers are awesome. However, this is not entirely due to the pioneering work of Dr. Evil.

Though one has to recognize his work.

Other than their use in popular fiction, lasers have a startling amount of applications in the real world, too, from running your CD player, to creating microchips, to wreaking havoc and destruction, to malfunctioning during PowerPoint presentations.
