Is the computer our second self?

After reading the chapter on cybertime I realized that through virtual reality and computers we can seek our more ideal and fantasized self. Within computer-mediated communication there has been a great deal of play experimentation with multiple roles, personalities and identities. To put this into perspective, take any sporting game or battle game now-a-days. While making your character the player has options as to what the player looks like by changing qualities such as the hair color, weight, muscle tone, and so on. When we play these games we are altering ourselves into a new community. According to Carl Jung over time a new synthesis between the conscious and the unconscious may well emerge and a new consciousness may possibly emerge through a synthesis between our physical personal and the dream selves we generate in cybertime.
