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.

Famous quotes containing the word real:
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
