But even though, in its current form, in its traditional form, the idea of the soul is still hugely popular, nonetheless we are again reinventing it for the digital age, for example with the idea that you can leave your body behind by uploading your mind, your essence, the real you, onto a computer, and so live on as an avatar in the ether.
Men selv i dens nuværende form, i dens traditionelle form, er ideen om sjælen stadig enorm populær, genopfinder vi den ikke desto mindre igen i forbindelse med den digitale tidsalder, for eksempel med ideen om, at du kan forlade din krop ved at uploade dit sind, din essens, dit sande dig, ind i en computer og således leve videre som et avatar i æteren.
