Philip Rosedale, the creator of Second Life, defines avatar in the gaming sense as “the representation of your chosen embodied appearance to other people in a virtual world.”
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/the_inspiration_of_second_life.html - Philip Rosendale talking about 2nd life and the reasoning behind it...
Compares 2nd life to space travel - the human truth of wanting to explore new worlds - start again. (When venturing into space) "Its going to be so different than here on earth, that anything is going to be possible"
"We are moved by the idea of virtual worlds, because like space, they allow us to reinvent ourselves and they contain anything and everything, and probably anything can happen there."
