Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]

I loved my Samsung flip phone! I think it was the phone I actually got attached to.

But since all sensible conversation finished here I will switch my attention somewhere else

Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]


I agree. It's just too convenient.

On the other hand I almost don't use computer outside of work so if I manage to reduce my screen time on the phone I'm on a good path :)

Btw, talking or texting while driving is not a smartphone issue but any phone . I am guilty of making maybe 5 phone calls in my life while driving. And at least one of them was in a dead stop traffic jam when I had to call I will be late

Life / Going Smartphone Free - taking off in Poland? [47]


Really? I don't.

I try to limit pointless use. When one article leads to another and so on. I regularly read chosen websites and after that try to put down the phone and take book instead.

I wouldn't want to go completely smartphone free as staying in touch, managing my accounts and doing shopping is so easy...

A. It's not necessarily romantic but if the girl has a crush she might get her Hope's up

B. No romantic suggestions. You will often hear people address groups like that.

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]


Our thinking process?
I remember being taught that the real accomplishment is to make your language cleaner, simpler and clearer even if talking about complicated things.

Language / Polish was chosen the HARDEST LANGUAGE in the world to learn... :D [1558]


That is what my English teacher once said comparing English and German:
English is easy at first and then it becomes hard. German start very hard but then it's much easier.


In my experiencea lot of employers are quite clueless about what they need ( Poland was very bad in that respect)


True but usually there is not much need.

Study / Humanities no longer in the top 10 of the most popular fields of study in Poland [36]

Usually somehow it only works one way...
Noone expects humanity inclined person to be good at physics, chemistry etc. Noone is surprised if an intellectual cannot build a bookshelf...

Btw, forcing people to learn something is usually a very crap strategy and a waste of time
