The Greatest Inventor of the 22nd Century: Yoshio Ohtori
By: Michael Haninozuka
We all know what the Matrix is. After all, we all use it every day, you're probably reading this in the Matrix, I know, I wrote it in the Matrix.
Do you know how the Matrix was started? It's a rather tragic story, to say the least.
Back in 2096 there was a horrible traffic accident in downtown Tokyo. A computer malfunctioned and sent one small vehicle into the middle of a busy intersection. Inside this vehicle was Toshio Ohtori. He was killed instantly when his vehicle hit a delivery truck, he was the only causality. This was made even more tragic because Toshio left behind a sixteen year-old twin.
His twin, Yoshio, was devastated by the news of his brother's death. I was with him at that time. I was nothing but an idiot fourteen year-old he was tutoring in chemistry.
I remember that day clearly. He was showing me something, I don't remember that part, when he suddenly froze and tears began pouring out of his eyes. Two minutes later he got the phone call, somehow he knew beforehand though.
The death was called an accident caused by a computer malfunction. This wasn't good enough for Yoshio. He declared that he was going to make it his life's work to eliminate computer malfunctions.
In the year 2114 he married fellow researcher, Elizabeth Carter. The two of them barely let the birth of their son, Toshio, in 2115 slow them down. They worked with a passion and in 2130 finally had results.
The two of them designed an entire new computer system that existed in multiple dimensions at the same time, so as to reduce the chance of computer malfunction to .001%.
A side effect of this was that the computer system created another dimension, one that was affectionately dubbed the Matrix. In this dimension people aged at a third the normal rate and no one was capable of dying from anything but old age. This was and is a dream come true.
Using already created technology people were able to enter the Matrix through terminals in their home.
In 2138 Yoshio Ohtori received a Nobel Prize for his work. There's a brilliant article in Popular Science about this event. It was reprinted in all of the major newspapers and magazines around the world.
This coming year Yoshio will be celebrating his 120th birthday. Despite his age he is still working with his wife, to push the boundaries of science farther than they've ever gone before.
