I thought the articles by Robert Cooper and Mark Stephen Meadows provided a helpful insight in to the psychological effects of the human brain. The article by Robert Cooper in particular, showed the thought process behind dome people’s creation of their alter ego and why they chose what they chose. I personally do not really make avatars, but if I did I would probably portray the way I would like to be perceived. Some people in Robert Cooper’s article had my exact same thought process. A physically handicapped adult named Jason Rowe, made an avatar that was very sturdy and could not been beaten very easy. Jason’s comments in his section were very moving. It’s great that Jason can use the internet to feel a feeling that he may not be use to feeling in ordinary life. I think it is sad the way that Jason feels about being an outcast, but I think it’s awesome that Jason can use the internet in such a positive way. I think that these avatars are an excellent study of the human mind and how different brains think of different things. The other two people in this game used completely different alter egos based on the way they are currently perceived and also how they want to be perceived. Avatars can show how individual minds function as well as how each individual mind differs.
