Reaction time is the amount of time it takes someone to have a reaction, or reflex to something that happens. Some examples are a ball being thrown at them, a ninja karate chopping you, and in the case of the matrix, bullets being shot at you... (But in real life you can't "slow time" or use the matrix to dodge bullets)
One example of reaction time in my life is from horror games. (Which I play a lot.) Most of the time, something creepy pops out of nowhere and scares the living crap out of you. After this, you have about 0.5 seconds to pull yourself together, and run the hell away.
Another example of reaction time in my life is when someone decides to annoy me and throw a football at me. (Or really in this case, and type of ball.) I have to quickly react to where it's going, and move the heck out of the way because there is no chance of me catching said ball. Sometimes there's no chance of me getting away in time... In which case I have to try to catch it. Unfortunately it usually (95% of the time) ends up hitting me in the face.
A third example of reaction time is when the new season to an anime I watch (namely my little pony, Pokemon, and dubbed Japanese anime), or a new game came out. I have to quickly figure out how to get to where I need to go to get the game/watch the animes, and think of ways to prevent people from bothering me when I play the games or watch the animes.
One last example of reaction time in my life is when I go to school and the teacher walks in, asking for the homework from the night before. I have to quickly run out of the door, or think of an excuse.
