A vision of students today
Is very sad to see this video and notice how everything they showed in there is true. The education that students receive is pretty bad, it's very depressing to see that teacher don't count the effort that the majority of students do to afford college and all the privation that many of us have to do. but that doesn't change things we still buying 1 to 3 books for just one class that we don’t need just as the guy on the video mention " I buy hundred dollar textbook that I never open" that's a lot of money waste and it is the same thing for every class. Besides that it’s not only the money that many of us waste on books and other college expensive its how the college manage our education. Being in a classroom of 115 or more students it’s very distractive, rooms that are so big and were you are far away from the professor make it more difficult for you to learn. It is a fact that the closer you are to a teacher the easier is for you to understand the class and the material but unfortunately most of the professors don’t know the students mane “18% of my teachers know my mane” that was the opinion of one of the girls in the videos. But what about technology it was mention on the video as a way to save us but I don’t agree with it because the main distraction for students is the technology. When you enter a classroom you can see that the majority of students playing with their laptop, text message or listen to music instead of paying attention to class. I definitely don’t agree with the point that technology is the only way to save us, it does help us with all the school work that we have to do that’s all.

in the star trek episode the three guys when to a place called earth to investigated and got trap there with no way out. in the movie the three guys experience a false illusion of an event that happen in the past where a murder was committed and they were there to kind of solve the problem so they could go home.
in the farscape episode the actor john was lost in space trying to find the way back to earth. when he found an space hole and when back to earth a chain of events happened. first he was capture by the government agency to find out if he was real or was an enemy of another planet or part of the Galaxy. second the government capture john's out of space friends to analyze them and make them talk to find out if they were their enemy suddenly the gov't killed one of john friend and take away another one so he scape with the girl to find his friend when he was searching for his friend he notice that he knew every person on the stree and realize that everything was an illusion form past experiences all this unreal world was created by an alien that was looking for a place for him and his people live and he needed to find out how would be human reaction of aliens going to earth.
in the matrix everything is also a false illusion an unreal world that was created by machine as a kind energy source. here neo the protagonist wake up from the unreal world to fight against the matrix and save humans.
all this three movies also show how all of them are enslave, how they to do what other want them to do. they don't have the free will to choose what they want. in the Star Trek episode they don't have an option they have forcely to find out what happen in that place to go back home. in the farscape episode john is manipulated by attacking his friends and force to whether save his friends or help the government and all this is controlled by aliens. and in the matrix neo don't have freedom also because he aether help to fight the matrix or go back to lived an illusion he don't have no other choice. the three movies are about unreal things, false illusion and in all of them they are manipulated and controlled by others.

* TH3 M@TR!X *
The brain is massively deluded, it seems. It has all sorts of false beliefs about the world. It believes that it has a body, but it has no body. It believes that it is walking outside in the sunlight, but in fact it is inside a dark lab. It believes it is one place, when in fact it may be somewhere quite different. Perhaps it thinks it is in Tucson, when it is actually in Australia, or even in outer space.
in The Matrix Neo's situation is something like this. He thinks that he lives in a city, he thinks that he has hair, he thinks it is 1999, and he thinks that it is sunny outside. In reality, he is floating in space, he has no hair, the year is around 2199, and the world has been darkened by war. There are a few small differences from the vat scenario above: Neo's brain is located in a body, and the computer simulation is controlled by machines rather than by a scientist. But the essential details are much the same. In effect, Neo is a brain in a vat" (Chalmers D, the matrix as metaphysics).
