The LASER is the best example of that. I still remember in grade school Mr. Science came to visit our school. He showed us brand new gadgets like magnetic tape and a funny looking gismo he called a LASER. I still remember his quote that the LASER was invented but at that point they had NO practical application for it. Modern life would be very different without LASER today.
