One correction Nare, if I may. There is no need to use word like in the past form, since you are responding to the question in present time.

I like it very much

Unfortunately, there is no magic formula for fast and effortless way to learn the language. While it's possible to learn the grammar to the highest level in Yerevan or in Armenia as whole, there would be considerable problems to master the conversational part with non-native speakers of the language.
So how one can correct that and have reasonable conversational skills in Armenia? The easy answer is to converse often with your friends and coworkers. The difficult part is that your friends will not provide you with the level of comfort needed to master the language. In this case, live internet radio from BBC or CNN will guide you through the speed and correct pronunciation of native professional broadcasters.
On the second thought, if you have a girlfriend as a native English speaker in Armenia, all the power to you.

Normally, for the question, "what do you think", you answer should be in the present form, I like it or I do like it. For the question, "did you like it", the answer should be in the past form, I liked it or i did like it. I like with did, the last choice.

Պատ. "Chit-Chat" club: welcome, if you can read this
By the way, it feels kinda spooky here : I think I'm already seeing Chuk's terrible shadow hanging over my little poor club. I've never broken rules so obviously and so shamelessly.

I hear you. I'm in the same boat. Waiting for my papers to get deported.

Well. I think it's a good time to open a discussion about the future of the printing press in our lives.

South Korea ditches all paper textbooks and goes digital

If South Korea’s current plans hold, there won’t be a textbook in the country’s schools within four years. But it’s not an extreme cost-cutting measure: rather the plan is to deliver all lessons via electronic devices.

The idea is to go all-digital in elementary schools by 2014, extending it to the entire school system by the following year. Before then, electronic and paper technologies will be used side by side.

The aim is to make content available in a range of electronic formats. Although children will use a tablet device as their main school “textbook”, they’ll also be able to access material on smartphones and internet-enabled televisions. Homework will be completed and stored online, which will no doubt lead to dubious claims that “the dog ate my router.”

The plan is budgeted to cost 2.2 trillion won (US $2.4 billion), which will include the costs of providing devices to children and digitizing the content. There doesn’t seem to be a firm decision yet as to what brand and model tablets will be used, if indeed there is a consistent choice. There’s even speculation the government may design and commission a custom-made tablet, which sounds like a pretty lucrative contract to win.

There’ll be free tablet devices for children from low-income families, which suggests better off children will be expected to use their own devices. That may be a clue that the system will use multiple platforms.

South Korea does have several advantages when it comes to implementing such a scheme. It often tops world charts for both availability and speed of internet access. The government reports its children are rated highest in a survey of “digital literacy” among 34 nations. And it has the world’s lowest birth rate, meaning school children make up a relatively low proportion of the population, thus making public funding of such schemes more sustainable.

What are your thoughts on this subject? Should we all go to digital format one day, or should we keep the printing press for sentimental purposes?

printing press is a different "culture" and is more than just to get an information to some people... I can still see people buying newspapers... I stopped.... it's just a leisure to me

[Mephistopheles]

though we might eventually come to that point... abandon the printed press... who knows

[Դավիթ]

I don't even remember when I bought a newspaper or a magazine lately. Must be at least a couple of years. Eventually, we are all going to the digital format. It's just logistical questions and cost issues that may slow down the process a bit.

not so fast... printing press still has political implications and it's livelihood mostly depends on that... for instance a video on a youtube can affect the politician's image and crash or raise his or her rating, hence putting the youtube on the realm of political tools... so as the printed press, it hasn’t lost it's influence just yet, but anything is possible....

I guess the money for printing press wouldn't come from readers, but rather from politicians who would prefer to see their faces on the news stands... you ought to track the money

That is true. But if the business is not profitable, not many governments are going to dump money on a losing business. However, if the printing press completely goes away, say in 20 years, then the governments around the world will certainly tighten the rules and regulations on a free exchange of information on the net, thus making internet just another tool to get their favorable message out. So, there are minuses with going totally digital format as well.

government does not dump money on any business, those who will dump will be the interested parties, such as businesses, politicians as individuals and so on and one more thing, the newspapers also have the WebPages connected to each other and the printed presses goal ore purpose will not be to deliver news but being the image of the agency...
