Real Virtuality
"'Real Virtuality"' was a concept that Mark Weiser used to contrast his idea of ubiquitous computing with the then popular notion that we would all spend a lot of time in virtual reality environments. He conceives of the concept in his influential 1991 article "The Computer for the 21st century", and explains that the "virtuality" of computers, in other words, the ability to compute, view, and alter data with a computer, will exist within our physical world, outside of an electronic shell.

“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbours household, and, underneath, anothersecret and passionate and intensewhich is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
