Watching the news or not?

I would like to ask how many people watch the news in TV because they want to be informed, or because it is a habit, or even just they like to have a familiar noise while eating dinner at the kitchen table. How many people still watch the news in TV although they think that the best way to be informed is another one, as the news are incomplete or biased.

Books and e-Books

I would like to ask the readers of electronic books whether you miss the dusty heavy hardcover books in the living room near the sofa. Or the cheap light books with recycled paper that fitted everywhere in any bag and could be opened like bananas to read the words near the binding. And the feeling of the paper frame under the finger tips, so dry, so rough sometime. And also so dirty, sometime, making your fingers black if the book was printed on cheap not really ink-absorbing paper - but wonder, coffee and tea got absorbed so well as soon as one drop dropped on the most important sentence of the page.
I do see the advantages of an electronic book, whichever company you would like to consider.

Green pullover

I would like to ask how the colors that people were in normal days get decided. They must get decided somewhere, somehow, by someone, because the other morning, while waiting for the tram, I was observing the people and I could count many black pullovers, some brown ones, two red ones and two light blue ones, but no other color. Interesting enough, the two red ones were exactly the same red, which is not that easy to find. And the same can be said for the light blue ones. It seems that all people can choose the color of their clothes from a dozen of given ones, and any other color, for a while, disappears.

Sitting

I would like to ask how many people sometimes just sit on their favorite spot on a chair, sofa, bench, stone, and just... sit. No computer, book or knitting in their hands, no pets, no kids. You might hold in your hands just a cup of hot chocolate, or tea or coffee. That's it. Well, I also allow you to have a pillow if you are more confortable, or you need something to squeeze. And a cover, if you are cold. But that's it. Nothing else.

Facebook status

I would like to ask why we write in our status message of the social networks. It is so often subject of debate or warning articles on important newspapers, because it could be dangerous. I think it is quite obvious that we should not put there our bank account number. You can also go a bit further than that and admit that even locating yourself very far from your apartment is not incredibly safe if someone is just waiting for that to break in - there have been some cases for instance with Twitter users and their status messages, intercepted by thieves.
But why do people actually post anything might pass through their heads in a status message?

Working day

I would like to ask all those pedestrians walking around downtown, what do they do, why are they there in the mid morning hours of a working tuesday.
I always wondered why are shops open during standard working hours. If most people are working, they will not go shopping, so that there is no point to keep the shops open. Let's better say, it is less worth to keep the shops open when people usually work, than when they usually don't: late afternoons or weekends. But today I was going to the doctor, so I was around town when I am normally not. And I was astonished to see a lot of people walking around.

Sickness

I would like to ask people with a long work experience whether their colleagues ever called them when they have been sick. Does this depend on the work environment? Or does it depend on the type of job you do?
