Summary

The movie entitled Matrix , starring Keanu Reeves , presented a very revolutionary idea that intelligent machines in the future imprison human beings in their dream state . Through the dream state virtual reality , the energy developed by the human body is used to power the vast network of intelligent machines . Human beings are treated just like batteries and quickly dispose of them when they are no longer functioning . Just like any other system , even computers suffer from imperfections due to the very complex nature of the every

human being It was said that there are people who become aware of the said dream state and some of them are able to disconnect from the virtual reality called Matrix . Neo (Keanu Reeves ) through the aid of Morpheus HYPERLINK "http /www .starpulse .com /celebrity /Laurence_Fishburne /P23625 /0 Laurence Fishburne ) was able to disconnect from the virtual reality and lived in the real world . Neo is believed to be the one who could open up the Matrix and free the people enslaved to it . They often re-enter the virtual reality just like computer viruses to interact with the Matrix while the under the pursuit of the Matrix defense mechanisms called agents

Position on Technology

The idea of us human beings enslaved in our dream state tricking our brain into some virtual reality is not something that is impossible theoretically . Our brains are like computer networks , with our senses as our interface to the real world . If somewhere in the brain , all of these senses processing are intercepted by an advance virtual reality , much like a computer program , we could be tricked into believing that the virtual reality is the real world . In fact we already have 3 dimensional programs which are often times already called virtual realities . They are the precursor to this ultimate virtual realities , the only difference is that they are not that real yet . These simple virtual reality systems normally interface externally through our eyes and ears with some of our other senses still free

Opinion Regarding Virtual Realities

Virtual realities should be regulated to the point that it should remain in a level where in the interface is only through external senses . When virtual reality involves directly interface into the human brain through modern technology , this is already an invasion to human life . Although presently this is not yet a concern because it is still impossible to interface directly to the brain , but as soon as our understanding of the human brain becomes more advance , it will just be a matter of time before direct interface becomes possible

Criticism of Technology

These ideas , although far from really happening in the future , serve as our advance caution to be careful with the technology that we are doing in the present . For example the existence of computer viruses and worms is an indication that mistakes in our computer programs could result to disasters such as loss of precious information . The technology of virtual realities although provides many useful...
