Matrix Blog # 2

1. The character of Cypher makes a decision that returning to the Matrix and living in its alternative reality instead of being fully conscious of the reality. This goes against the decision made by the released prisoner from the Cave. Why do you think Cypher decided to go back to the Matrix instead of living fully aware? Is his reasoning valid? Is ignorance bliss? Why?
B/c the matrix is all was his alternate reality. Its what he always wanted in his real life. ignorance is bliss. If you are to ignorant it can come back to haunt you.

2. Neo is prophecized to be the one by Morpheus. Does Neo seem to accept this high profile role? What other character from literature you've read seems to be placed in this hero/savior role by others?
He doesn't think that he is the one. Harry Potter being the one to save everyone in every book/movie.

3. Humans are described by humans as a disease, imperfect, for a perfected technological program, yet the machine is viewed as the enemy/evil even though its reason and logic is supposed unflawed. What would the world be like if everyone was perfect and logical? What are other examples in movies and books where technology becomes the enemy/evil?
I think that the world would be very boring if everyone was perfect. War of the Worlds is about how machines try to take over the world.
