3D TV ?

I was recently in Minneapolis, walking around in the Mall of America and I happened to of wondered into Best Buy. One of the guys that were working their came up to me and asked if I wanted to watch 3D TV, and I was like shea! I want to watch 3D TV. So I walk over to where this TV was and I put these classy glasses on and it was amazing. It was like I was actually in the TV not like those movies where every now and then stuff comes flying out at you, this felt real. Then I wondered how much this is going to cost to get a fancy 3D TV. Well its not going to be very cheap. Since the viewer will have to buy a new 3D TV, 3D blue ray player, 3D movies and 3D active glasses.

Technology is advancing at a incredible rate and I just bought myself a HD TV and now they are already releasing a new wave of tvs, HDs are just catching on and their already going to be outdated? Manufactures are going to keep the price just slightly more than the LCD/LED models. Which we all know is still not cheap, and after we buy the tv then we are going to have to by all the accessories for it so It will work. Not to mention the goofy glasses you have to where to watch tv, which are going to run you from either $50 - $150. I if I wanted to look goofy for 150 bucks I would just buy a chicken suit.

I don’t think 3D tvs will catch on for awhile due to the fact of cost and programming, According to Game Informer the Discovery channel and ESPN already have dedicated to 3D programming. But how long is it going to take for the conversion. Since 3D movies and shows have to be shot with multiple cameras and it also requires multiple high def streams for transporting the video over networks. Standard definition broadcasts take up more bandwidth capacity then all the other types, high def takes up even more space and it would probably take up two full high def channels to broadcast in 3D.

3D television would be awesome but I don’t think its going to happen anytime soon granted u can get your hands on one now. People are just getting used to the idea of HD. Thiers no doubt in my mind it will happen eventually but as for now we are all safe from going out and buying brand new electronics.

December 2012

December 21, 2012 is supposedly they day that the world is supposed to end, according to Nostradamus, the Mayans, Native Americans and more. Some say that its another thing to get scared over like Y2K but I’m convinced otherwise. I was watching the history channel one night and show came on called “the lost book of Nostradamus”, which talked about his prophecy about the end of time in 2012. I found this interesting, so I continued to watch it. It explained that on the winter solstice in 2012 (December 21st) is when all the planets in the solar system will align with the center of the universe, causing the axis of the earth to shift. Imagine our galaxy the Milky Way as a plate and the sun is orange sitting in the middle of it. As of right now and since life began on earth, our solar system has been drifting across the top of the plate. Well on December 21, 2012 we will be parallel with the plate, meaning our solar system, galaxy and sun will be completely in line with each other causing their to be an increase in gravity. Until the next day where the earth’s axis will be shifted to opposite side and we will be floating around the bottom of the plate. Not only will the earth shift its axis on that day but that is when the sun is at its “solar maximum” (The solar maximum only happens on average, every 11.120412 years) which is when solar flares from the sun are the strongest.. Small solar flares can affect earth greatly, especially electronics. They can fry power lines, zap grids, cause massive power outages and even disable electronics. But a large one could burn through our ionosphere which basically means there would be nothing left on earth. Life as we know it would be non-existent.

Hopefully the end of the world won’t occur on the 21^st of December, but I do feel that something will defiantly go down that day. There is just way to many coincidences that occur on that day. I mean Nostradamus has had multiple prophecies that of occur such as Hitler, 9/11, the rise of Napoleon, just to name a few and then 2012. I hope it’s a coincidence but it would be a huge one with Nostradamus predicting it, the Mayan calendar ending, the alignment of our universe, and be the solar maximum all in one day.
