What is Virtual?

As i mentioned in my longer response paper, virtual or virtuality has many different meanings; however, i choose to go with the following definition: Virtuality is a mirror representation of things, and is viewed and observed as the unreal. Virtuality stands as a connection; it units things, and as it fills the gap it creates meaning. Often time’s people see and do things virtually, but are completely unaware of it such as myself. Being able to speak two languages makes one virtual, and how so? Well, a language is spoken in a setting where the listeners cannot comprehend it, it becomes, according to Ryan, "irreal." This statements holds much truth as i am a living example. Virtual/virtuality is not always linked to tecnhology; in fact it is embedded into things that humans never stop and think of such as language, arts, geography, culture, and much more. Virutality/virual---the unreal, the unborn, "the other" or a fake version of the real---this is what virual means to me---
