Mig33 My First Love.

Many of us have lost the magic in social media
Remember the days of Mig33 lol those were the days
FYI: That is where the name xinkwa came from, Mig33 was the first chat app that I knew about back in the days. And I had just got the then smartphone the Motorola V360 damn I miss that phone
And I loved the bluetooth function because of 1 particular thing "porn" hahahaha i'm serious I didn't even use Bluetooth for anything else.
There phones were not USB compatible with a PC so you couldn't load pictures and music like today but that wasn't for long because things changed drastically when BlackBerry came to our lives
Anyways back to social media . Back to Mig33.
I never felt so alive more than when I was on Mig33, I talked to people all over South Africa and actually made a real connection.
Remember just how much we used to send each other photos, selfies have been around for a very long time.  I used to have folders of pictures of girls, don't ask me why it was just cool at that time I guess.
My point here is that we used to actually communicate with each other, with people from all walks of life and as long as you had airtime you never really felt lonely as a teenager, there was always people to talk to and they responded and were not too full of themselves. Ok even though Mxit came along I never really was active on it. Mig33 was my jam.
Social media is different these days, people don't really connect anymore. It's all about likes, shares and comments people don't really talk to each other, it's like being alone in a room full of people.

We have lost the magic in Social media. We have become our own worse enemies. We have isolated ourselves so much. We have built so many circles and are involved in so many groups that before we interact with people we first put on a face for that particular group of people. We have lost our authenticity and uniqueness, everyone either agrees with the most popular opinion or they have nothing to say. People are scared to have their own voice. We are more intrigued by trends than what we like personally.
