Step 4 Post-reading
Avatars are digital identities that you use to represent yourself online. You can choose an avatar from a selection of ready-made images,or create your own imagines. Although avatars haven't been around for long, they are widely used.
Avatars let you express yourself and give you lots of room for creativity.But the use of avatars has also caused a few concerns. Some users worry that they are spending so much time in virtual worlds that they are becoming afraid of meeting people in the real world. The use of several avatars can also be a risk, as people can use avatars to cheat others online. However, many people see avatars in a more positive light.
