Summary Age of Avatars
A wireless network has been detected and Gen Y is definitely connected but in an age of avatars and online persona's, can they successfully balance their virtual lives with their real ones?
A wireless network has been detected and Generation Y is definitely connected, but in an "age of avatars" and online personas can you really successfully balance a virtual life with a real one? Entirely accustomed to interacting online, Gen Y has changed the way we communicate with each other. With email, online games, online journals, Facebook, MySpace, messaging and countless other ways of interacting it is obvious that the internet has become an essential part of our day to day lives. If you're not connected, you're missing out! But having a 'virtual life' brings with it responsibilities and commitments - just like real life! "Age of Avatars" explores the real and virtual lives of some Gen Yers struggling to obtain a balance. Can they really have the best of both worlds?
We now live in a world where if you want to contact someone you text, email, or leave a message on their Facebook page. A world where part of your social circle now consists of friends you've never met in real life but have gotten to know through hundreds of online conversations. These days it would seem that if you aren't online you're out of the loop. In online games people are able to take this online presence further by creating virtual characters or 'avatars' who interact with others in a make-believe world. These games are growing increasingly popular with all generations, but Generation Y in particular has latched onto the idea of an online identity which has just as many social commitments and responsibilities as everyday life. You don't play the game for a few days? Your online friends think you're ignoring them and you fall behind. You do play the game and your 'real' life is neglected. This episode of "mY Generation" follows these three gamers as they quest to achieve a balance between their virtual lives and their real ones. It asks what is the appeal of a virtual identity? And can we really maintain a virtual life when we struggle day to day with our real one?
