It wouldn't dissipate the force/energy, so you'd still get a hell of a punch. I think that's how helmets are designed as well - so they spread the energy out equally over your entire helmet, so you don't crack your skull but bruise it. But hey, what do i know.
That sounds pretty cool, but with most scientific discoveries, I doubt I'll see any practical widespread useage of any of the technology in my lifetime. But you've gotta keep at it anyway, so future generations can enjoy the fruits of your labour! I mean, whoever originally made "the car" probably wouldn't have seen anything like our modern car, or anything even somewhat similar in competence and ability [or style!], but he did it anyway.

I doubt that there'll be much that will add another 20 or 30 years on your life.. there might be, but right now I think we're just trying to help cure diseases [mostly STD's.. wonderful] and develop stuff that can kill people better.

3d is xyz. Length, Height, and Width. 2d is xy, Length, and Height. [I think]
It's not a case of appearing to be 2d in nature and practicality, 2d is a dimension with no possible comprehension of width, just as we can't comprehend a dimension outside of our own.
