Matrix Blog #1

1. When he's in the matrix, he sees that this is "real" and how "it really is". When he goes back to the world we know, he has a higher sense of understanding because he knows how "it really is" and it's different than what he thought before.

2. We use our senses to tell what is real and what is unreal. If we can see, touch, hear, smell or sense it, we assume it is real. I think reality is a definite concept measurable and quantifiable because of everything around us. What is happening now and what we see and know is reality.

3. I think our current society may parallel the world of The Matrix in some ways, like how everythnig is controlled by the technology. We're not controlled in that sense, but we kind of are because everything we know comes from the media. I think technology has mostly increased the quality of life but it definitely has lessened the quality in some ways, because it has revealed things that are not so good for us to know.
