Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicted that we’ll be plugged into “The Matrix” within 50 years.
Are you kidding? In 50 years, we’ll still be figuring out if the Architect’s speech was deeply meaningful or a Wachowski Brothers inside joke for Philosophy majors.

You mean we will all be channeling Arnie’s character from “Commando”?
Mark Zuckerberg is to be assiduously avoided.
I remember a time travel short from around 1960 where the travelers arrived in 2000 to find that being wired into something very similar to the matrix was a premium retirement plan.
