What Have We Learned from The Matrix?

Remember the Matrix movies? I guess there were four of them, so you probably took the lazy-persons way out and just called them 'A collection of Matrices themed moving picture shows.' Ya Bum. Well, whatever you did or didn't call these masterpieces, they were a big deal. Cinemas were all-of-a-sudden brim to hilt with like-cyber-minded stories featuring bald kids trying to bend spoons with their mind or selling hard the idea that somewhat dim adults that the rounded, concave utensil didn't exist altogether, and wove complex dialogue like "whoa" and "I know Kung Fu" into the conversations of the times. For a few years at least. So sit back, relax, put on your favorite frameless sunglasses and coordinated stiff leather long coat and take one of each color pill in your house* as Two Middle Aged Guys try to figure out what exactly the Matrix was and or is and if anyone still cares.

*Please don't. Two Middle Aged Guys Trying to Work it All Out encouraged proper use of medications and it not liable for any choice that you make.
