The Matrix

I just finished watching the movie and doing some research on the computer. I didn't realize that there was so many web sites devoted to the movie. I found one website that had a virtual world that you can join and become characters from the movie, reminds me of those students on another website that we read about. The movie was good, better than I expected, but a little scary. To think, our lives could be that way is a bit bazarre for me. It also makes me think by creating the computer, we have created a monster. Could it possibly take over?????

Yes, some people really take the movie seriously and extend it into their lives. I was really surprised at first to find out how much people have taken away from the film to apply to their lives, as well as immersing themselves in the stories.

The Matrix had global appeal. I went to a website that require that you pick a country before entering the website. I was like...WOW!
It is a scary movie in the sense that in some respects, we are living The Matrix.
Once, while programming a phone I had just purchased, I accidentally called the police department. When I realized I had the wrong number, I hung up. Don't you know, an officer called me right back and said, "Mrs. Bailey are you OK. You called us and we just want to make sure you're OK." Now THAT was scary.
