In the movie The Matrix the use of computers are obviously not how we would use computers today. It would be really nice but it is unrealistic and would unlikely happen. I remember when they would use the computers to locate where certain people were. The exact same location. Computers now give an idea and not really a specific location. Neo in the movie was a computer hacker. That was his everyday thing. He thought that was the reality of things and how everything was supposed to be until later finding out there was much more to his life than he could have ever imagined. He was the one. Anyone would be confused to think my life is supposed to be this way and then someone comes and tells you that this is how your destiny is really supposed to be. It was not a bad one as all the abilities and powers Neo had so no one can really complain about that.

The images that you saw on the computers were codes that only some people could see. An everyday person such as you and I would not be able to interpret something like that. It is odd that they can but thats why it is a movie. It provides another point of view in other words. It is a way in which someone else would be able to see something but another person would think that it would not be possible for that to happen. Much like Neo in the beginning of it all how he did not understand how any of that was possible.

The use of the computers in this movie is unrealistic and that is based on as stated before the whole coding of it all. It is something we as humans would not be able to comprehend. As technology improves as it has maybe in the nearby feature it could be possible but I do not see that to likely happen. As far as any cultural issues arising I think the sole problem would be just that it is something different and something that has never been done before. With new things it takes awhile to get adjusting to especially with ground-breaking things as this would definitely be.
