Future weapons now?

Well, I've been reading some articles and watching some things on TV about future weapons now. These include Lasers, smart(er) bombs, etc.

Just wondering what you guys thought about this?

The lasers seem pretty cool, one of them (huge) can set fiberglass on fire within seconds. Another is a modified 747 that has IR and other Lasers and is used as a homeland defense aircraft to shoot down incoming missiles.

There are many more, this is just a place to either mention some other cool ones, or put your .02 in on this topic, whether you think our money can be better spent, or that this is a great step in warfare and armed conflicts

Thanks for any opinions
