3D Theater - intelligence or weakness?

1 month ago, I went to Disneyland Hong Kong. There are many attractions inside of it. But there is this one attraction that makes me reflect on myself. This attraction is 3D-Theater. Before you went inside the building, the theme park staffs distributed a 3D-glasses (of course, it is 3D). =)

Then, I took a sit on the chair, and waiting for the show to begin. After 3 minutes, the speaker 'speaks' 'Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to... Please wear the 3D-glasses...'. And the show has just begun. It started with Donald Duck who try to conduct an orchestra and everything messed up in the end (hahaha).

Anyway, it was a good show. But there is this particular thing which I want to share. By using that 3D glasses, you can feel as if the pictures are real. The 2D characters are transformed into 3D characters. Wow, humans are smart, they could do it? Adding a tool, the world is changed. But wait a second...

Probably we are not that smart. Indeed, we are on the opposite side. Probably, we are too weak or too incapable as our eyes could be easily tricked by a pair of glasses. The fact is it looks 3D just due to the glasses. The truth was it is only 2D. We are simply tricked by a pair of glasses, and we say that 'we are smart'.

A lesson from 3D Theater. Are we indeed smart? Or Are we indeed weak and easily manipulated?

God bless you, readers.
