This article was very interesting and at the same time I could have guessed correctly about what it had to say. The big thing when it comes to Internet is the fact is the person reading is not in front of you or hearing your voice. So exagerating and lies are easy to get away with and a basic standard with people. I do not doubt people make things, such as avatars, to be very similar to their real world self yet I doubt it is an exact replica. People lie and exagrate all the time. If you look at the real world you can see the diversity in everyone even those of the same ethnic background. So why is it when you look at the avatar world there is more similarities then diversity. What I think about is since we as people are very diverse then even if we are lying why are we very similar? I believe that people are never satisfied with them selves and can always find something wrong. I also believe majority of people are in search of a certain image or identity yet we do not know what it is! The weird thing is that the more we try the more every one else starts to have similarities. I think we study things like online social network to try and figure out what everyone is trying to be! No one knows but the proof is there. I personally feel if everyone in the world was happy with themselves things would be completely different but that will not happen because it is not in are human nature. We are competitors and visualizers. If given the chance to change ourselves we might take it but what is it that everyone wants to be? and will we ever reach it?
