Terry,

Thanks for the response!

BTW, I've now read the wikipedia article on Malthus and now see how some 
tie him into Darwin.  Also, it (like you) remind me of the 
denialists--it's hard to know which is right.

I strongly believe in necessity being the mother of (most) invention, 
but don't know how to characterize the laser.  Maybe that is a 
discovery of basic research, while the various uses of the laser (light 
based transmission of data, laser machining, ...) are more based on 
necessity (or, at least, opportunity)--you can make a laser, now what 
can you do with it?
