The Matrix is one of my all time favorite movies. The notion of uploading new knowledge to your brain in a matter of seconds always amazed me.
That kind of technology seemed so distant from our present world. But really, this tech already exists in the form of the written word.
Reading a book might seem laborious in comparison to plugging a USB drive into your brain, but having a lifetime’s worth of knowledge distilled into a few hours of tea-sipping is trippy enough.
