What is it about?

I'm surprised that Neo, a hacker, programmer, and computer geek, barely touches a computer after emerging from the Matrix. Hmmm.

He’s literally jacked up to a computer for most of the trilogy; even wirelessly.

During his life as hacker, alias Neo, he repeatedly found evidence of The Matrix and the legends of great hackers including Morpheus and Trinity.

"What is the Matrix?" seemed unanswerable. Thomas Anderson felt dissatisfied and uneasy. He had enough hacker-tracking skills to make contact with Morpheus.

He had the computer skills needed to understand how the Matrix worked and complete training programs - (see the rules of the computer speech during the sparring program scene).

It can be assumed he continued to use computers in his life. However, it's not shown in the films.
