How to Make Your Own Virtual Twin
Having an online twin gives you the opportunity to discover your interests on a virtual level. Perhaps you're shy in your everyday life, but your virtual twin is outgoing and bold. Maybe you lack musical skills, but your virtual twin plays guitar. Avatar worlds and websites are easy to find online -- you need only to select the one that you like the best and create your virtual twin who looks just like you to start playing and exploring worlds that, although fantasies, are a way to spend your real-life time.
