Strongly identifying with your on-line image or virtual avatar can improve your physical health and appearance in real life. When an individual strongly identifies with the cyber representation of himself – known as an avatar-the electronic doppelganger can influence that person’s health and appearance.
Harnessing the power of the virtual world could lead to new forms of obesity treatment and help break down racial and sexual prejudices. People seeking to lose weight, for example, could create fitter avatars to help visualise themselves as similar and healthier.
