The Growth of Artificial Intelligence and Its Relevance to the Matrix
Have you ever been uncertain about the world you live in, and the reality of the truth? The fear of knowing is a common response to most of what we do not know. The real answers make it apparent, that some wish not to understand the truth about everything. Society has made life so self-explanatory that the unknown has now become a mission to be kept a secret. Some are in fear of finding the truth, due to the fact it could have substantial affects on the entire human race. The world as we know it could prosper or fail with any new attempts in high-risk technology. Science and new advancements in artificial intelligence have made it accessible to finding out more than humans have every imagined possible. The development of the computer was a long strenuous process, which took many trials and errors to make effective as seen now in the twentieth century. It seems very unreal that humans would enable machines with so much ability to think evil, or is it? The reality of this topic is that mechanical machines have proven to adapt features of their own if controlled by certain conductors. Artificial intelligence is a field of its own with many successful milestones and it continues to thrive in the twentieth century as a major aid in the future.
The idea of machines compelling power to control or destroy humans can be seen depicted throughout history in sci-fi movies. In the particular movie entitled, The Matrix, directed and written by brothers Laurence and Andrew Wachowski in 1999. This film shows a new form of technology, not only in through the plot but also its special affects and symbols. The upcoming millennium also marked a perfect time to release such a complex film for the public viewing pleasures. The Matrix takes place nearly century ahead in the future. The human race is nothing, but virtual slaves controlled by a race of intelligent machines. The background to movie revolves around the first creation of artificial intelligence and its evolution.
