digital communion
An electronic form of communication, involving the use of the hand (digits), and number coded electronic "words" or digits (0,1). Cell phones with key pads and keyboard computers use this method to transfer thought words into cyberspace and then back to the intended recipient, thus communion or sharing of intellect.

quasi-avatar
Basically meaning something that resembles a virtual character such as a created character via cyberspace. Online role playing virtual environments as Second Life use avatars to portray life-like characters. Avatar has its origin in the Hindu religion as depicting role playing gods, hence a possible dualistic meaning, also.
Bobby plays so many role playing internet games, that sometimes I think he is a real life quasi-avatar.
