She is describing the two realities that people live nowadays. One is the reality in which we live and experience things with our flesh and bones. This is the one in which we share moments with other people and satisfiy our needs. We go to school, to work, to an event, we eat, sleep. And the other reality is the one we live through media, social networks, the virtual reality. This reality not only let us experience life events in a different way, that means that yo can even be present in another continent or country or neighbourhood, even when you are at home, at the bus or somewhere else. But of course, this reality alter our conception of time and space because it encapsulates us in this frame or moments but it also disconnects from the real life experiences. It makes people feel like they are in another place with other people, living other things but they are also in a real place where you can touch and feel things with your flesh.
