This is however not about 3D television. Although by hindsight, it would appear that 3D TV would indeed be the future, this is just a fallacy created by the media and is nothing more then a popular "trend". The true innovation of the future for television may lie towards something rather new and rather more common. I am of course talking of the Internet. The Internet is nothing really new, although compared to television, it might as well be fastest growing medium ever created. What the Internet is, is a series of protocols (or rules) set by home computers and servers, so they can all communicate with one another.
So what does the Internet have to do with television? In the past no one has considered integration of the two, but with social sites like Facebook and Twitter, it appears that the Internet could be killing Television! This said, how can TV survive in a world where it is so limited towards communication? The answer lies with Smart TV's. Just like Smart phones, laptops and game consoles, Smart TV's will be integrated with the Internet. This will allow not only the viewing pleasure of your favorite show, but also the ability to "tweet" it towards your friends. The limitations won't stop there. With Television going on the web, you can watch your favorite sports shows while looking at sports statistics without switching between your laptop and TV. On Demand Movies will be easier with services like Netflix.
The main reason that 3D TV is not going to survive the next decade of the 21st century lies with trends. Before 3D Television, The biggest unconventional viewing pleasure was drive-in theaters. And we all know how that turned out! The way how I and many see 3D movies is that its something cool and exciting and "IN". The reason 3D movies died down in the past around the late 80's was because people got bored. Why? 3D has limitations and it doesn't give back. It just "enhances" the viewing pleasure, but it doesn't improve productivity in any way. That said, the other big let down is price.
Most 3D TV's cost more then the average HD TV. Add the prices of 3D glasses (which around $120 a pop), Investing into a 3D Television Set may not seem wise with the Economy. If you have a family of four, your asking for about 500-600 dollars just for glasses. The same plastic glasses you get in theaters. For a hundred dollars less, you can get a Google TV box or Tivo!
Its too late to make this seem short, so I'll cut to the chase: 3D TV does not create productivity. 3D is just another way to view. Smart TV's however allow integration with the web. Which makes "you" the viewer capable to give feedback from your TV. That all in consideration, I hope I shed some light on the situation.
