Mxit is False!


From personal experience, I found that mxit is not a true reflection of a person's true personality. I feel that one can successfully argue that mxit is a great social network for catching up with friends and people you already know. But to try get to know someone, it is near impossible to understand a person over virtual reality. The best way is and will always be face to face, over a drink or over lunch, etc. Virtual reality is indeed a different world in itself. One can create false illusion's of one's self. My naivety of the technology, fooled me and wasted a good few monts of my life. One can only learn from your mistakes. Mxit is a great invention, if used the right way. If not, it can give you impression of yourself and other people that aren't true...
