The Matrix a bit unrealistic?

[shamgar03]

You know, today I was sitting there watching the first matrix on tv and I had a bit of a revelation. How do they get all that data into the brain through that plug? As far as I can see that plug is just a long spike. Wouldnt such a plug need multiple wires, or something? You think we will one day use DVI to plug in like that?

I thought the movie was about government control? P.S. - It's the matrix, it can do anything it wants.

I really, really, really can't wait for school to start up again so we don't have to read stuff like this every day. :roll:

Dude, The Matrix = a movie.

It's futuristic technology, you're not supposed to understand it.

Repeat after me: It's a movie, and therefore not subject to any laws that govern reality. :roll:

LOL I was just wondering if they ever thought stuff like that out before they made movies? I certianly didn't mean this to be a serious discussion.:Q

I'm pretty sure they consider that. How realistic would it be if 500 years into the future they still used USB 2.0?

The recepticle for the plug is hardwired into the brain. The non-pod born people can't plug in because they do not have the technology to install one.

So yes, there ARE little wires going all over into all the different parts of the brain.

Fixed.

Thats what I was thinking. They would have to have a wire going to each receptor of the brain.

No one asked for an even semi-serious answer Mister Elite-Guy. :frown:

Well now that everyone is here (and pissed) anyone else think that the third movie took a (good) page from the Dragonball Z cartoons?

Nah. Sometimes it's worth it to just whip out the flamethrower even though I know it'll keep me from ever being considere for 1337-ness.
