Humans On Machines In The Matrix
Alright, The Matrix is one of our all-time favorite movies. There’s a reason it made its way to fame, but unfortunately, it isn’t accurate. It’s safe to assume you already knew this, but when we dive even deeper into it, we’ll see why. In the movie, machines keep humans alive to use them as living batteries. While we’re far off from any machines keeping humans alive to use as batteries, it’s illogical. The cost of running the machines, just to keep the human alive, would use up exponentially more energy than they would ever get from the human. If we use math, it’s simpler to understand. Let’s say you have an electric scooter that produces twenty units of energy to use for an hour, but it also requires sixty units of energy to run for that same hour. Would this make sense? Not at all. We’d find another solution that produces more energy than it costs. You can also look at it from a monetary standpoint, would you continue spending ten dollars a day if you’re only making five dollars a day? No, because you’d be in debt (What Culture)
