I really like lasers so when it said Lawrence Livermore NAtional Laboratory - Lasers, was like, YAY!! I thought that this article was very interesting.

I thought this article was very interesting, but I would have liked more information. I think that like the article about the robots, this shows the quick progression of our technology.

This article was interesting for what was in it, but I wish there was some more information about the experiment and the lasers and such. Like Kevin said, this article really shows how far we've come in the world of technology.

I agree with kevin and jason. This article and the robot article show quick progression in technology. Besides a comfy recliner with a built in toilet, that also does your homework, so I dont have to get off my lazy but, what else is there to come up with?

I partially agree with Kevin, Jason and Jordan in saying that this shows quick progression but there are many countries whose progression in technology is increasing much more. For example, Iran has nuclear energy and is obviously focusing on making nuclear weapons.

This sounded like a nice thing until the third paragraph where it stated that for the project, they had collaborated with the government. I was already suspicious when I heard about this article. Who knows how much money the government gave them? Spending on 'extra curricular' projects is way to expensive and makes up a large portion of the U.S.A.'s debt. I actually agree with the views of presidential nominee, John McCain who was against how much money the government spent on science.
