When you hear the word virtual, what do you think? In this era of virtual reality games and experiences, the word virtual has taken on a slightly different meaning. Instead of almost real, it can mean almost like being there in person.
My real life experience with the Virtual Toastmasters club (virtualtm.toastmastersclubs.org) has opened windows to new experiences. Unlike a virtual reality game though, sometimes members really are in the same room. Others attend through video conferencing.
