Reality or Imaginary

[senate7377]

skeptical thinkning eh?

Rather than get into a huge philosophical explanation, get all wordy , and bore half the target audience...

The manner is which you pose the question, is not very...clear. What does the My Documents have to do with reality or imaginary since at root compiled binary bit datum, rerouted, interpreted and shifted to be displayed in both HEX RGB colors and a Windows API. The way you've asked this, means that no matter where we trace the MY DOCUMENTS, we'd question if it were real. EXAMPLE:

Is the hand that moves the mouse, that controls the curson ont he monitor, that opens that folder, that displays the images, that provide information, thats stored on the media, that is containted in the computer, that sitting on the desk, that sits on the carpet, that lines the floor in a room, thats a part of the house, that was built on a plot of land, from the trees in a forest, that is close to a street, that is in a town, in the state, of the country, on the planet - real? In that context - yes, if you want it to be. All else = no. Thats if you look at it as an "if then" question.

The monitor which displays the my documents. Real or not? Yes, I can touch it.
The mouse I use to move the cursor to double-click the MY DOC icon, real? Yes, I can touch it.
the icon expands to reveal files contaied within. Is that real? physically No, as I can not touch it, but th edata physically exists on the HDD or the folder would not open.

I dunno, you'd need to consider alternative relatives. Is the My Documents Icon "real" compared to what? Me? no. Real compared to... the Network Settings Icon - Yes. They are both effectively comprised of the same elements - there fore if you consider one of the two real, you'd logically assume the other was real by the same standards.. You've got to have something relative to the subject in question.
