As implied in the sequels, the &amp;quot;real world&amp;quot; either worked differently than our world, or was another level in the simulation itself, since Neo was able to stop the machines using some sort of magic ability.  So perhaps humans contained some special force or other essence that the machines harvested.&lt;p&gt;Even without that, batteries are a store of energy, not a source, and perhaps the machines had discovered some unknown laws of nature that involved intelligent biological creatures being the only way to store or transform some sort of energy currently unknown to man.  That is no more or less far fetched than the machines and ships using some sort of antigravity capabilities to fly.&lt;p&gt;There are plenty of ways to explain the technology in the matrix that isn&amp;#x27;t completely ridiculous.</text><parent_chain><item><author>craigyk</author><text>No, humans as batteries was a stupid plot device.
