The first simple 2D avatars appeared in role-playing computer games in the 1980s.Yet,very few people knew that future avatars would have such a wide variety of forms⑩ and uses.By the late 1990s,they had been used in web chats. When people started creating their own avatars,they discovered that they were going to have the power to create new identities that did not look or act like their real selves at all.They could dress their avatars in fancy② clothes,or they could try being someone of the opposite sex,and call themselves “Andy” instead of “Anna”!When Internet users realised that their avatars would be seen by many people,not just their friends,they started having more than one avatar:a sensible③ one for work;a friendly,good-looking one for meeting people;and a silly one for having fun.Avatars let you express yourself and give you lots of room for creativity④. Of course,the avatar you choose says a lot about your personality.If your blog⑤ avatar is a picture of a cute cat,your message is “I like relaxing and having fun”.Well-known cartoon characters or laughing monkeys say “I’m a really funny person”.Most people create avatars that have similar features to their personalities and that look more or less like them and act like them.However,nearly all avatars are tall,young and nice-looking,so people obviously⑥ make their avatars look better than they do in real life.They also experiment⑦ with things like different hairstyles⑧—which says a lot,perhaps,about what they want to look like.
