In fact, that seems to have become a common term for a representation of a RL person in a virtual world of some type. Whether it be WoW, SL or whatever.<br /><br />Avatar comes from the Hindu. Its original meaning is the manifestation of a god in the mortal world. I think if we carry that forward to our reality, it makes sense. An SL avatar is the extension of our RL person into virtual space. <br /><br />That doesn't make it less real. While we leave our meat bodies behind, our minds, feelings, perceptions, prejudices, etc. All these 'immaterial' things manifest quite nicely in SL. And are just as real there, as in 'real' life.<br /><br />SL can not replace RL for us at this point, but it can fulfill some of those needs that our minds...Our souls...Need. And those needs, and their fulfillment, are quite real.Lee Serraohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03897326864984769480noreply@blogger.com
