WMD: Weapon of Mosquito Destruction
posted on 15.28 - 17.03.2009 in infotechImagine it crawling through the desert wasteland. The wheels crush beneath it the remnants of human skeletons which turn to dust under the weight of this killing machine. Fully automated, armed with high intensity heat lasers, it slowly rumbles on. Suddenly the senors pick up a new target. The gun-turret turns and the lasers blast with great flashes of light. Several shots are fired in under a second. "Targets destroyed" says the monotonous robotic voice, and the machine rumbles on.
This is not to far from what some scientists have recently made. They've developed some lasers to kill mosquitoes. I know that so far the only similarity between the previous sentence and the paragraph before this one is the laser-part, but bear with me. These are not ordinary lasers. They were developed by the same bunch of guys (cool guys in my opinion) as the ones who designed that worked on the "star wars" anti-missile program during the cold war.
It gets even better. The lasers that kill mosquitoes are fully automatic. They have sensors that detect the sounds that mosquitoes make when they beat their wings. I'm sure you're all familiar with it. These lasers can pick out mosquitoes in mid-flight, killing millions of them in minutes. I'm going to be the first in line when these things come out in the supermarkets!
Sadly though, we won't see them in the supermarkets. At least, not anytime soon. These lasers are going to Africa to kill malaria mosquitoes. Lucky African bastards...
