On the topic of "Avatarism"; a term created to describe the relation of an online identity, this article discusses our disconnect as a modern society from our physical identities in the adoption of a newer, better, flawless, and ageless self. The idea lies solely in a perception of how the future will evolve from whats happening already. Will the internet create a cosmopolitan society? Will borders be broken down as we choose to exist within the seemingly limitless boundaries of the medium? Or will it cause us to look to nothing else to solve the issues of our present day world, as we escape them entirely and move on to a fresh new start in a world without resource, time, or age.
