connected - wired into the matrix

It's officially no longer the Internet.

We left the station of the Internet some time ago. What once was a start where communications could be sent in a secure fashion from one base to another within the government has developed to scrambling to play with the latest trend while browsing a library of outdated, connected, contacted information...though not a bad evolution, it has it's moments.

I can't say we didn't see it coming though...and without actually feeling it, we can never understand what it is, but alas we are here, with a nagging feeling like we need more.

This Internet could never be enough, for data searches or blogs about feelings, to posting what someone is currently doing to the very second no matter the location...the title of the Internet is long gone.

Matrix...has taken it's place. And no, not like the movie, where AIs fight against humans for the very control of their mind (though, the possibility is still present). The Matrix from wiki states:

  • matrix (plural: matrices) is the material between animal or plant cells, the material (or tissue) in which more specialized structures are embedded.

Seems only logical that the Internet could be established as such right?
Is the Matrix we deal with every day of our lives embedded as such? The answer is more clear then one could think.

Take a person's normal daily routine where they work at an office, and live in a circular pattern as they continue their life. They wake up, probably check their phone (connected to a network, able to access other forms of communication [ex: internet]) go to work, check work emails (another internal connection), check personal emails (saying they are permitted to), go about their day, communicating with others either via voice, or words typed (including blogs, emails, forums). Then they might proceed home, do as they normally do to live their life, including watch TV, check more email, touch up on an mmo or visit with other people in the life (neighbors, friends, social locations that also count for myspace, twitter, facebook, or even a bar, club etc.). And then proceed to rinse and repeat.

The point? It can no longer be just an internet, someone must see that it has grown past it's old title, and now must adopt something that we've embedded in our everyday lives (ie: Matrix).

I could go on, and fight with any thought and self indulged crazy ideas, but, I don't think a million worded blog will change many peoples lives...maybe (could be crazy enough to work)
