Virtuality

Early usage
 Virtuality was first introduced in the technical sense, it applied to things simulated by a computer, like virtual memory, this is memory that is not built into the processor. Over time, though, the word has been applied to things that really exist and are created or carried on by means of computers.

 Virtual conversations are conversations that take place over the internet, and virtual communities are social groups that assemble around the use of games, web pages, and other networked resources. The adjectives virtual and digital are 2 different words but a certain extent is the choice of one just a matter of convention.

Digital
 Digital is the most comprehensive of the two, it can be used for almost anything that makes use of or is based on computer technology, such as a digital camera or a digital network. Virtual tends to be used in reference to things that mimic their "real" equivalents. We could ask the question if i look at the landscape around me projected true the screen of my camera, im i then looking at a virtual world? Or is this merely a projection of the ‘real’ world.

 With these kind of questions is in the last couple years the bridge between the virtual and "real" equivalents is becoming smaller and smaller.
