Conscious of history

  There is something creeping into the consciousness of the Amerixan public.I think we can calmly call it a  feeling of de ja vouz. This is rare because from a market standpoint rhe public is often deemed nor ro have a memory more like a trend and cycle.  Love affair with 3d is not new as far as represented visuals go. Many remember days of 3d glasses (red and blue). Many companies tried to build it glasses free into flat screen televisions but the buying public simply wasnt biting. This was a major effort to include 3d as a standard feature. So does the public quickly equate these as somehow equivalent even though they are worlds apart?
Actual applications that benefit soxiety beyond entertainment should definitely differentiate. But what else can the Maker community do?
