Is 3d the future, or the future headache?

Many major technology companies have incorporated 3d technology into their televisions. You can attach the kit to your tv set, wear 3d glasses, and bam! You are in 3d world. Cable company Verizon Fios has already started broadcasting content in 3d. Is this the future trend?

Its hard to predict because many consumers have advised against using any 3d product. Viewing a television in 3d for long periods of time can induce headaches, which it did for most consumers who tried it. Its just too much information for your eyes to process as an everyday task. How clear can televisions possibly get? With current high definition technologies, we can already see the impurities and imperfections of the actors and scenes. The new "LED" technology displays a crisp picture and seamless motion, but is it good or bad? In my opinion it is horrendous. Watching a movie on a LED tv is like watching a raw camcorder-recorded video. It doesn't represent the scenes in the way they were meant to be presented. Everything just seems too cartoonish. You are not able to appreciate the art behind the sets on this sort of television. 3d technology just makes it worse. Watching regular tv shows in 3d is just going to kill the 3d experience overall. They have already come out with cell phones that support 3d technology. Do we really need to see a tiny little video screen in 3d? I think we should only watch 3d movies that were meant to be seen in 3d, such as Avatar.
