    On the original, people probably become useless after they get dementia.

    On the movie, machines are crazy and stupid, and everybody acts as if its normal… so whatever.

        I they meant in the original concept of the plot, where humans were used for their brains’ processing power. In the movie I don’t think it would matter too much since they just need our heat and electricity.

          Maybe the matrix needs a little more processing power, so it puts people in comas and gives dementia to save on bandwidth. Or something.
