The Matrix and Dreyfus

I love the first Matrix movie. Original storyline, awesome special effects, and great fight scenes. All in all a very interesting movie. But the situation in the movie is similar to the situation Dreyfus is warning us about, specifically in Ch. 3. While the character "Neo" thinks he is living in a boring normal existence, he is actually in a computer simulated virtual reality program with his body is in some sort of pod that saps the small amount of bio-electricity he produces. Is that what is going to happen to us in the future, are we simply going to be bodies in some sort of pod with our minds floating somewhere else in "cyber-space?" Now of course I don't mean literally like the Matrix with robots controlling everything and all that junk, but the basics of our minds being "plugged-in" to a computer. The idea of that is simply unthinkable, how would it be done? Do we make the decision to do it? Or is it a Government thing? And what if I choose not to do we end up with a "I am Legend" situation where there is only one man or a select number of humans still interacting with each other, nature, and earth? Or is it going to be like the Matrix where people "jump" back and forth between the real world and the fake, trying to persuade others to "disconnect?" This is a scary thought, one that can not be taken lightly.
