When you say a true Matrix experience, do you mean like with robots that keep humans in vats with cables sticking into them as well, or do you just mean the fully realistic virtual reality bit? If you mean the VR bit I would think that we are much, much closer to it than a hundred years away.
I'm guessing that you don't really expect us to all be enslaved by our machines living full time in VR a hundred years from now though. At least not in ways that are involuntary.
