the matrix the movie was one that i didnt understand until hearing words from the snow crash book and to think that all this virtal world stuff was thorght of 20 years ago is crazy i am looking forward to gettting know what goes on and learn more about it.
the metaverse was different from the matrix i think because in the matrix you can download infomation into your brain wich is un herd of in the metaverse. making the two different from each other.

ReplyDeleteMatt,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the first legitimate (and intelligent) post that I've encountered! I'm glad that you seem intrigued by "Snow Crash" (and by Stephenson's prescience). You make a good point about the 'downloadability' of information in the "The Matrix", but I think that once we encounter 'hypercards' you'll see more of a similarity. Basically, the 'interface' seems very different in "The Matrix" than in "Snow Crash". Keep posting. I enjoy reading your thoughts (but keep in mid that this blog is a good place to practice some of the basic conventions of good writing--like capitalizing personal pronouns, avoiding run-ons, etc.).
But again, a GOOD post!
