A virtuális valóság védelmében
Defending the Virtual Reality

Summary/Abstract: Bernáth László, the well-known and meritorious journalist and professorfrom Budapest, pleads in his article in behalf of the rehabilitation of virtuality.The author argues in this way with Szabó Géza, whose article (Visual Ethics orthe Affair of Carcinogenic Visuality with Ethics) was published in the first numberof the journal. Considering that the so-called „digital terror” does not exist,Bernáth asserts that due to the increasing impact of the digital world, this iscompelled to use a growing number of authenticating images in comparisonwith the printed text. However, the visual world has appeared only a centuryago, thus it could happen, similarly to the doubts manifested by the adult mindtowards the authenticity of Gutenberg galaxy, that the visual signs will becomeobsolete, as well. In this way, more and more people will doubt virtual reality asmuch as they doubt the authenticity of the printed text. The author concludesthat virtuality cannot be used as synonym for falseness, fraud and manipulation.
