We’re able to get informations thanks to the internet, the wild network connecting millions of computers and other devices across the world. The English computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989, after 20 years the first connection was established over what is today as we known as the Internet.

The Matrix also has connection with a philosophical question posed by French philosopher Rene Descartes. One of Descartes’s important idea was intellectual autonomy, or the ability to think for ourselves. He also indicates that we should not just having a â€Å"good mind†, but also â€Å"applying it well†.

But these informations we received will all change when the wax is got close to a flame.
