Abstract

There is no doubt that the adjective “virtual” has become the epithet that accompanies great technological advances these days. It is not unusual for a reader nowadays to look up a quote in a book from a virtual library, for a teacher to grade his students on a virtual campus or for a customer to check his bank statement through his virtual bank. The adjective “virtual” has become a modern reference which can be found more and more frequently accompanying a new product that seeks its place in the market. The virtual has become fashionable.
