I would think at the worlds in our heads in contrast with the palpable reality.<br />
For instance the dream. It is real, but is in your head. You cannot touch it with your physical senses. The same as ideas and imagination.<br />
Maybe Inception is a good movie to refer too, and perhaps few more, an old one The Lawnmower Man.

Throughout my career, I have relied on the use of analogies to help clients understand certain technical concepts. Saying &quot;Think of bandwidth as a water pipe&quot; kind of thing.<br />
<br />
I am struggling with coming up with a good one for virtual machines. More and more nowadays the discussion of virtual servers and virtual desktops are coming up. I just haven't found that magic descriptor or explanation that covers it. The clients nod and all that, but I don't think they fully 'get it'.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have any things they use? Some ideas? <br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Common methodologies include waterfall, prototyping, iterative and incremental development, spiral development, rapid application development, extreme programming and various types of agile methodology.

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
