A good game gives us meaningful accomplishment - clear achievement that we don't necessarily get from real life. In a game, you've beaten level four, the boss monster is dead, you have a badge, and now you have a super laser sword. Real life isn't like that, right?

American Designer

MacKenzie Scott

I am a better person when I am writing, and I am probably a better mother because I can focus all that laser attention on these characters rather than worrying about my kids.

American Philanthropist

Donna Strickland

McMaster had an engineering physics program and... one of the parts of it was lasers and electro-optics and I just said, 'Now doesn't that sound cool. I just got to do that.

Canadian Physicist

Ro James

For my first album, I thought it was most important for people to hear my voice and to not let it be drowned out by too many lasers and other sounds.

American Musician

Brad Paisley

I wanted to be Buck Owens and Bill Anderson and Roger Miller. With a higher-resolution video screen. And lasers.

Grant Imahara

Unfortunately, making what is essentially a laser sword falls into the deadly category.

American Celebrity

David Baldacci

I'm scattered, and then that last hundred pages, bam, I'm a laser.

American Novelist

Ryan North

Everything I write should have lasers. That's my #1 rule.

Canadian Writer

Brock Osweiler

You need to have laser focus on doing your job.

The term implies high accuracy, often used in scientific and technical fields.

Technical Precision

Lasers can be invisible, such as those used in remote controls.

Not Always Visible

Lasers can be dangerous, caution is needed when used in public contexts.

Safety Concerns

Lasers are not only for science; they're used in everyday items too.

Diverse Applications

Laser tools are praised for their effectiveness and precision in various fields.

High Efficiency

Lasers are integral in reading and writing digital formats, like CDs.

Digital Data

The word can describe intense concentration or accuracy, not just light.

Metaphorical Use

When used metaphorically, 'laser' doesn't involve actual light.

Not Literal

The metaphor implies extreme intensity or focus in a non-technical sense.

Intensity Implied

 that could have sustained life. We get to shoot a laser at the rock. Now why did we do that? Instead of having to go over and touch every rock and taste every rock... like we said before, we can actually fire the laser at the rock, burn the surface of the rock and look at the gas that comes off. And from that gas we can see what the chemical composition of that rock is. What are the elements that are there.

 though it can be mitigated by the use of sunblock. But since the dermal cells are relatively stable, much of the ink will remain deep in the skin for a person's whole life. But if tattoos are embedded in your skin for life, is there any way to erase them? Technically, yes. Today, a laser is used to penetrate the epidermis

Advances in laser technology continue to make vision correction surgery more effective and accessible.

 We have the device over here. And we're going to show you, instead of the kill laser, which will be a very brief, instantaneous pulse, we're going to have a green laser pointer that's going to stay on the mosquito for, actually, quite a long period of time; otherwise, you can't see it very well.

 And they're not the only ones. There are gravitational wave detectors spread across the world. These L-shaped instruments have long arms, whose exact length is measured with lasers. If the length changes, it could be because gravitational waves are stretching and compressing the arms.

 Tattooed mummies from around the world attest to the universality of body modification across the millennia, and to the fact that you really were stuck with it forever if your civilization never got around to inventing laser removal.
