blog#6

The matrix makes me think a lot about the world live in. Do I really live in the real world or do I live in the matrix? The question left unanswered. I recently had watched the animatrix which is the prequel of the movie. Before the matrix was created human and machine coexist peacefully until the machine was rejected by human. Soon after the war begins, human had lost and agreed to become an energy source for the machine. In return the machine created the perfect world call the matrix for human to live in. In the matrix Neo choose to take the red pill because he do not believe in the world he lives in, that there are more to it, Neo also say that his dream feel more real than when awake. I believe that we are just one race to the machine, the human race. Gender are not important in the matrix either, the machine only need our body as their energy source. In the matrix our body is not important, the body is just a form of existing that the matrix had created for us. However outside the matrix our body is important to the machine like I mention before human are the energy source for the machine. What separate human from the machine is choice and free will? Human had the ability to make their own choice allow them the further their destiny. The machine however cannot comprehend the concept of choice and free will. They core structure base on purpose and control. This is the reason for the disharmony in Zion city. The people in the city chose to reject the matrix which goes against the concept of purpose and control causing the machine wanting to destroy the city. The true is human and machines do need one another. The movie is already a great example, human need the machine to perform task that is humanly impossible. The ship people ride on, the weapon they use and the computer are machine. We as human are the one who build the machine in the first place. Without human there would be no machine, that why we need to coexist.
