The document discusses the definition and trends in avatar development, including using avatars to start new lives through virtual worlds and games, achieve a form of immortality by saving memories and experiences in an artificial avatar after death, and ultimately creating fully artificial bodies or copying the human brain to allow continuing to live through a robotic or digital avatar.

second life example 1
Your avatar live in the virtual world in
computer provides real experience to players
The virtual character is your avatar. You can
do something both can or cannot do in the real
life which makes the people more involved in the
game. You are able to restart a new character
whenever wherever, but this would not affect your
real life.
People are easily engaged into the game even it
is fiction since the activity of avatar is almost
exactly the same as that in reality.
