the great writer had to do everything himself.

fond of his books, he had asked the conductor to make him
comfortable.

a mobile phone is a necessary thing in our time. Through him we communicate with loved ones, make new acquaintances, relax and others. But there is also a harmful side to this thing. Too often we sit on smartphones, forgetting about the real world. People don't go out, stuck in a virtual universe. This is a big problem in the technology age. I use my phone to communicate with friends, but I also meet with them in reality, I prefer to play with a ball rather than playing some kind of online game. I do not forget myself in virtuality, because the real world is more interesting
