The virtual boy is a term used in reference to the state of being when inhabiting a virtual environment or virtual reality (Balsamo 2000, pg. 489). A person connected to the internet is regarded to be not only physically in the space sitting in front of the computer but also virtually represented and with the opportunity to interact in cyberspace. This indicates the potentiality of the body simultaneously existing within two realities, internally and externally experiencing and being experienced (Becker 2000, pg. 363). The virtual body is also recognized as an escape from the limits set by reality and different forms of conventionality (Balsamo 2000, pg. 493).
