VIRTUAL HYGIEN - THE TERM I MADE

virtual hygiene blog.rubyonrails.ba
At that period in my life I had a lot of free time to think about the past - present and future, and about the changes and progress we are living in.
The result of non-formal thinking was a proposal to name adequate terms for a better and healthier online/virtual experience and presence. "our virtual existence".

After some thought, I came to the term "Virtual Hygiene" which is a coin of two other terms.

Virtual - in-world computers are often explained as 'not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so'. It is a computer-based simulated environment which may be populated by many users who represent them self in the way of a personal avatar.

Hygiene - was the Greek goddess of health, cleanliness, and sanitation. In general definition it is a 'practice or activity that you do to keep things healthy and clean'.
