I thought of the Matrix not long before the movie
came out. Not the movie itself...just the virtual
world part.<br><br>I was watching an episode of "Star
Trek the Next Generation" and they were showing the
inside of a Borg ship.<br><br>They focused in on a borg
drone in it's alcove. Then they backed up and you saw
more drones in their alcoves. Then row after row of
drones and alcoves. <br><br>They talked about how all
the drones are mind-linked together, and i though
what if that's us...what if we're all in alcoves all
linked to a computer generated virtual
reality.<br><br>What if we only THINK we're walking around...going to
work...eating lunch or whatever.<br><br>Wait...what if we don't
even have bodies...what if we're just these inteligent
lumps of protoplasm linked to a computer and made to
think we have bodies.(a variation of the 'brain in a
jar' thing!)<br><br>hhmmmmm!!<br><br>Just some stuff
milling around in my head!!<br><br>or is it???????
