Man, is it ever exciting to live in this new era of amazing scientific and technological advances! New diseases are being discovered and cured giving people everywhere the chance to live longer and happier lives, new avenues for communication opened up that let us find intimacy with formerly foreign people halfway around the word, and the greatest and oldest dreams of mankind to understand and affect the basic building blocks of nature from the smallest particle to the largest cosmological structure are at last being realized.

Oh. Also, Japanese "Scientists using special laser technology have crafted a pair of mini-spectacles (2 mm) and placed them on the head of a housefly."

Will the wonders truly never cease?
