Life would suck as a natural born human in Zion

I always wondered, are they able to do kung fu in the real world or does the knowledge only apply within the laws of the Matrix?

Zion would unintentionally be broken up between these superhumans who can learn any complicated skill or concept instantly, and the unfortunately inferior natural born humans who have to do things the much harder way.

Anyone with a plug has the ability to download mass amount of information and reduce formal schooling down to a very small amount of time. Zion would unintentionally be broken up between these superhumans who can learn any complicated skill or concept instantly, and the unfortunately inferior natural born humans who have to do things the much harder way.

Since the technology exists for humans to be plugged in and download information, perhaps the really smart people with plugs would have found a way for Zion people to download information to their brain without making the plug for jack a permanent part of their body. Maybe it can be removable plug. Or maybe they have doctors who can install and remove them after the use for occasional downloads. Obviously they wouldn't need to go to school for years like we do, so maybe they just need a few months of installing a plug and removing it.

Or maybe they have such smart people that information can be downloaded for the normies by taking a pill with a chip inside that goes to the brain and installs whatever subject they want to learn.

When you have such smart people living in Zion, the possibilities are endless because those are really capable people with easy access to info and they understand technology and computers.

I would imagine there would be some kind of discrimination going on between these 2 if you really think about it. I imagine the natural humans would consider themselves more human as they were conceived and born naturally, they also learn everything naturally, develop naturally, etc. But they would be at a disadvantage on any task or shooling because they have to learn the old fashioned way. Plus we all have our interests and non interests don't we? We tend to do better, concentrate better, and learn easily for subjects that take our interest, Yet for the plugged humans, it doesn't really matter, they don't have to devote excruciatingly boring, tedious, time consuming effort on studying hard-to-concentrate-subjects they have no interest in or even loathe. They can simply download it and it's done, no effort done to actually learn naturally.

But I imagine once the plugged humans are located in areas where they can't plug in and have to learn the old fashioned way, then they will then be at a disadvantage because they would've become too reliant on their downloads and won't develop the skill, discipline, concentration, and patience to focus and learn something as quickly as one can using our senses.

I also imagine that the differences between a natural and plugged human will also be based on their cultural upbringing, similar to a wealthy first nation person as opposed to a poor 3rd nation person. The plugged humans are also wealthy first worlders compared to the 3rd world natural humans. The plugged human grew up at the height of human civilization in the late to early 21st century. A world with towering buildings/structures, paved roads, the sky blue at daytime and starry nights at the end. They have many consumer products surrounding them, they have media like films and music, ads, etc. Whereas the natural humans only have the remnants of all of these things living as refugees in an underground facility, war 24/7 ever since they were born. I imagine the plugged humans to be more spoiled, bratty, and over-privileged, the opposite of a natural human. And that these two groups will tend to keep to themselves when they marry or befriend others as people tend to be drawn to others with similar experiences.

I'm a Filipina, if I were living in a foreign land, I see myself getting excited if I met another Filipino as we would have a similar cultural background somewhat. We could speak in our language, talk about our food or customs or experiences bound only to those who grew up in the Philippines. I imagine it would be similar for these 2 groups. Imagine growing up watching films and anime, or listening to Rock bands like Oasis and the Beatles or growing up during a cultural revolution - wouldn't you want to talk about such things eventually? Could natural humans have similar experiences you and other plugged humans have even if they are familiar with these interests? Sure there would be a few from the 'other' group you would be close/befriend, but I imagine the majority will tend to keep to their peer group, especially if discrimination makes the differences even more stark and dividing.

This was probably my number one thought about this movie when i was a kid. I'd be so jealous of being "home grown" human and not having instant access to endless knowledge & entertainment simulations.
