The Matrix

The Matrix is interesting because it continues the
idea that humanity is afraid of the potential we have
built into our technology while we covet its
usefulness to us. This idea continues to be prevalent
in popular media, let me give you some examples:

Terminator
Dune
2001
The Matrix
I Robot
WarGames
Stealth

All of those movies deal with the idea that technology
will eventually evolve or by accident acquire the
ability to think for itself and then decide that
humanity is uselsss.

In addition, I perused a few websites and found the website, PATH OF NEO to be interesting. Apparently, this is a website for a game adapted from the movie. I found it interesting that to enter the website, you have to choose a country. The Matrix is an international phenomenon. I knew The Matrix was hugely popular, but it was shocking to me that its appeal is global. In my mind's eye, I simply saw it as a successful trilogy like: Lord of the Rings ( Lord of the Rings is my all time favorite work of cinema art!)

From the posts on the message board, I gather that people are having some technical problems playing this game. Many people have experienced a message that says, "error message". Others have responded with possible tech solutions.

I found it slightly frustrating that language was used that is unfamiliar to me. Someone asked, "Can I "res-kin" Neo?" I had to ask my son what "re-skin" means.
