In those times read bitesize snackable blogs or learning resources that you can spend 5 minutes on each eg [1,2], or maybe take that time to go sideways and broaden your reading. For example most New Scientist pieces are about that length.

I first bought a FP1 and I am now on a FP3. The FP1 is still just about operable as an emergency phone, and maybe a tiny bit of browsing. The FP3 is going fine. I have chosen not to upgrade the camera module, though I am still thinking a

My UK experience is similar to yours. I don't think that the cynical view is needed: it was probably assumed that you'd learn what you needed to of 'civics' by osmosis, eg down the pub before an election...
