How about this..you put together a bunch of little Lego Mindstorms robots..one for each laser..have them connected to a computer that will control and coordinate their movements..then you could put it to music and have your own little music-laser-lightshow deal. Yeah? Yeah? Or have the lasers draw pictures on the ceiling? Focus them all at a single point at a distance? Be tough but possible maybe.
...and everything has good parts and evil parts.

Yes. Reading 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson in the 80's ruined the Matrix for me. That book is far cooler than the Matrix could ever hope to be.
