Load Me Up!

We understand that through the Matrix you can learn many skills from fighting to flying a helicopter, but the question remains... is what you learn in the Matrix also known by you in the real world? So if you are booted up with knowing how to ride a bike, will you be able to ride a bike in the real world?

Up Load

I would say yes, because from the first Matrix movie, when Neo is going through his training simulators, he wakes up from his brain flood, and says "I know Kung Fu". You would be able to ride a bike now in the real world, the only difference in the Matrix is that you can bend the rules that you cannot bend in the real world.

Load Me Up! RPG Plugged Trilogy Matrix

Yes, I thought about the example you gave, but at the same time we see no evidence of this in the real world, other wise why not load people up with all kinds of knowledge for the real world then they could fight better? Another reason I say this is because Neo seems to still be asking a lot of questions in Reloaded even though by now he is more than loaded up with programs. He was hardly able to fight (Bane/Smith) in Revolutions.

Up Load

Good point JB. I just watched Revolutions again, and Trinity could not even fight Bane as well as she would have in the Matrix. It would seem then that you are loaded up but only able to use it while in the Matrix. You can only process the information you have loaded while jacked in, like a floppy disk in a disk drive. Another good example is Bane/Smith in Zion, he was not nearly as agile and precise as when in the Matrix, having to rely on knives and weapons to attack people with.
