Would you say that you're good at keeping in touch with people?</b> <br /> <br />I’d say I am good at keeping in touch with people. Sometimes I have absolutely no mood for answering letters or e-mails, and meeting people, and I just don’t open my mailbox or call anyone. But now I am feeling more and more need to be among people (I used to be quite a loner), so I try to care about those friends I have. <br /> <br /><b>2. Which communication method does you usually prefer/use: e-mail, telephone, snail mail, blog comments, or meeting in person? Why?</b> <br /> <br />I think that the best way of communication is a meeting. 80 % of what we say is in our voice, gestures, facial expression, so if I want to meet someone good, I need to see him or her and not the black letters on the screen. But of course e-mail and telephone and blog comments are things I use, because I can’t be everywhere – the world is too big. <br /> <br /><b>3. Do you have an instant messenger program? How many? Why/why not? How often do you use it?</b> <br /> <br />I have one, but it’s Polish. Why? It lets me send SMS for free and I can see if some of my friends are on-line. Just a useful tool. I use it whenever I am on-line. <br /> <br /><b>4. Do most of your close friends live nearby or far away?</b> <br /> <br />I live in the capital city, so sometimes the distances are quite big (although Warsaw is not a very big town). But I also have many “overseas” friends I e-mail. So fifty fifty? <br /> <br /><b>5. Are you an "out of sight, out of mind" person, or do you believe that "distance makes the heart grow fonder"?</b> <br /> <br />I believe that the Internet is just a tool, which helps to meet people. I don’t like distances and I do prefer to see people I like. <br />Pawelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11252658503263556514noreply@blogger.com
