Based on the “Human Battery” headline, I’m guessing much of the blog action regarding this article has people discussing whether The Matrix was stupid after all. Trust me, it was stupid (fine film, but that bit was stupid, and making it all another dream doesn’t make it any smarter). What I like about it, though, is the possibility of an external calorie sink, so everything you don’t need to live runs your iPod or something. I’ve been thinking for a few years that nano-bots wandering around converting fat to energy would be a nifty idea (except for the raging, brain-damaging fever).
