The movie people would like you to believe that 3-D is the newest, latest rage when it comes to projecting a film on the big screen. TV manufacturers also betting that you'll want the very latest electronic out there, and even though youu may have spent the bank to get that big, flat screen, plasma TV, you'll chuck it for 3-D. And of course there's been a study saying that 3-D can be hazardous to your eyesight. So the medical professionals are rubbing their hands!
Ho hum...lest we forget that not everyone is under the age of 50, we DID have 3-D movies in the 50s! The 1950s! We had those interesting little cardboard glasses with a green lens and a red lens. If you looked at the screen without the glasses you could not make out what was going on. Today's 3-D is not as confusing. But it's NOT NEW!!! And it didn't take off then, so why should it now? Maybe because in the 50s, not every household had a TV, and today many, many households have a separate TV for every adult and child in the house.
I'm not against 3-D, but in this economy, and age of disposible high ticket items, do we really need it? Why can't we be satisfied with what we have, until it goes belly up? I am, with my 20 year old TV, and when it finally gives up the ghost, I sincerely doubt I'll buy into 3-D. Although those flat screen TVs intrigue me, on Day 99!
