How is life online not part of real life they are connected but one can't replicate the other and also can't replace eachother 

online and the real world need to work in unison, not one disconnected from the other 

is one better than other, or more vital and important? -well yes 

well the physical world as the physical world influences the digital not the digital to recreate a physical world 

memoji - making a digital representation of yourself, not someone different, recreating yourself digitally
