I always get a kickout of this. I remember that in teh 60's the scienece books said we would ahve moving sidewalks and car that run on fuel ceels by the early 70's. Instead we got personal computers and $4.00 gas. Oh well.

yes, but the computers went far beyond what many imagined.
many of tomorrows advances are things we cant even think of today.
A lot of that is technically possible right now (even somewhat within the context to which it is being referred, though some are still in the theoretical process).
As for seeing any of them at a consumer level anytime soon, maybe pieces and parts of the technology, but I don't think anywhere within the realms that people are thinking.
A few years ago you could buy desructive lasers that were small enough to be carried by a person for 2 or 3 three thousand dollars or kits to make them of the internet(openly). I think these could for all intents and purposes could be considered laser "guns", even if a little crude.
I think there may be new laws to prevent this today probably because of the stink caused by people pointing green lasers at airplanes.
Basically laser guns do exist there just isn't a big demand for them. Firearms are still much more affordable and practical I guess.
I just wonder if encryption by a QC can be broken, even by another QC.
