3D in cinema has existed since 1952 in a movie called Bwana Devil. The idea didn't last long and they called it "futureless".

Since 2003 there has been a steady rise in newer 3D technology for movies, and as time has been going on they have made a larger amount every year.

Because of newer 3D technology, the people making the movies have begun to use it more because they can charge $5 more for a 3D movie than a normal movie.

2.
Why did 3D technology become more popular again after its lost popularity in the 1950's?

How does the decrease in sales of DVDs have to do with 3D movies?

3D isn't only quickly emerging, but so is 3D gaming.

US elections 2010: Democratic losses and Obama's agenda

3.
Obama recently passed the health care reform bill, but since the Republicans recently gained the majority in the house of representatives they will try to take some of the aspects away over the next two years of Obama's term.

Obama wants to slowly stop the low tax rates for the upper class and and lower the taxes for the middle class, others oppose this because they believe it will ruin the economic progress that has been made.

The president will try once again to pass a reform for immigrants to pave a path to becoming legal citizens, this reform was put down a few years ago during Bush's presidency.

2.
It seems that the republicans won't allow any chance for Obama to pass any of his reforms to help America wen they are asking for such things, why?

Why haven't any of the politicians made a plan for foreign policy issues, when we are in debt to many foreign countries?

1.
51% of people view Obama's new plans to be a good idea, but only 23% view it to be completely negative. http://people-press.org/report/490/obama-stimulus
