3D TV never really caught on because of one obvious flaw: You need to wear silly, uncomfortable 3D glasses<\/strong> to watch it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The above has become quite a meme in the media. 3D is dead, they say, because of “silly, uncomfortable 3D glasses”, or “clunky 3D glasses”, or “3D goggles”.<\/p>\n

We may as well say that reading died for people over 45 due to their need to wear “silly, uncomfortable reading glasses”<\/strong><\/em>.

Those with contact lenses just use the regular glasses.<\/p>\n
