JNowe: There are also problems with so-called "thermoelectric" materials, which generate electricity when one side is hot and the other cold: a shirt made of such a fabric could draw too much heat from the body, leaving the wearer feeling chilly.

I miss the McDLT...

Agreed. I'd buy a shirt like that even if it produced zero electricity.

DarnoKonrad: The idea the matrix put forward that humans just wouldn't tolerate opulent idleness is ridiculous. A more interesting storyline would be a puritanical Neo discovering how humanity was plugged into a life of comfort and so he "liberates" them into a life of toil and misery. Eating the red pill is the equivalent of joining Mao to spread his little Red Book of virtue and hard work.
It was low numbers of humans that initially would reject the pleasure matrix. They would then spread their discontent to the other humans. The machine revelation that offering a subconscious choice to reject the artificial reality would keep most of these under wraps led to the situation as it existed at the beginning of the trilogy. So only the most puritanical of madmen would reject the matrix and spread their madness by searching out and disconnecting similar, if less motivated individuals.
Neo wasn't the puritan. Morpheus was.

That's pretty much Cypher's storyline.
