I get you. And it's not just lasers, it's so many more. Sometimes I catch myself thinking that the technological progress is quite slow, but then I slap myself in the face to remind myself that in just couple of decades we ended up having devices in our pockets just like those from sci-fi films!

Lasers are great tech,I used to be fascinated by them when I was a kid devouring science literature. I hope I'll more great use cases in the near future.
