The purpose of life

What was revealed in The Matrix has already happenned. This is what computers use us for: constantly, to read incoming emails and IMs, for daily cleanup of spam emails, for weekly installation of latest updates... Then there are weather and traffic news they make us read. Then there's this virtual "stock market" where they reward us for being "in the game" and "in the know".

And all that is made so that we feel that the next thing we're about to make will gratify us somehow. That updating Windows will suddenly make our aging (immediately as it left the factory floor) computer noticeably faster. That being tuned into everything that happens around will gibe us wealth and allow to retire early. That someone with a soul will read our blogs.
