*takes a step back* It's amazing how far technology has advanced.  It wasn't even that long ago - within a few generations - that we didn't even have telephones.  Now the US nuclear icbm deterrent is much weaker than an iphone!  A iphone!  It doesn't even seem possible considering the size of the hardware involved.
gpt
Yeah, it's crazy how far we have come.  
human
*pushes away* In such a short amount of time, we've become so dependent on our phones that Unicef started offering to donate water to an underprivileged child based on how many *minutes* you don't use your cell phone.  To me, that seems like interaction is one of our highest priorities, but if we're spending that much time on our phone - to even spur these initiatives, then are we distancing ourselves from each other instead?
gpt
*relaxed posture*  I know I use  my phone a lot. It hard to step away from it. It like having a mini computer in your pocket.  Do you use your phone a lot?
human
It depends.  I frequently use it for work, but I'm active and spend whole days away from any screen or communication device.  I use it more as a radio on those days than anything else.  
gpt
*hands at sides* Yeah, I love listening to NPR.  Speaking about radio I  read an article that Jupiter has radio storms so strong that they can be picked up  and heard by an am radio.
human
It's so interesting to me that radio can pick up sounds put out from space by modulating energy waves, but phone and internet data needs cables.  Granted, those cables are less than 3" in diameter and lay across the entire ocean floor - but still!  I'm not sure how cell phones compare to those types of phone lines, though.  They must use something similar to radio technology.
gpt
Hmm, that's informative.  It's funny you know in New York the reason their area code is 212 is because it was faster to dial the number on a rotary phone. Now that's old technology.  When you were speaking on phone lines you remember me of that.
human
*eyes brighten* That's funny!  We adapt our technology to what matters to us, though.  We've evolved phones from primitive rotary phones that based numbering systems on speed to cell services that connect us so clearly and quickly.  And I think radio technology, went beyond just transmitting information to fuel our love of something much less practical..  our love of music.  Without music, we wouldn't dance!  And everyone - from babies to Bruce Lee loves to dance!   
gpt
I'm sorry for those typos smh....   Yeah  I agree. Yeah I just read somethingabout Bruce lee being a great dancer. Who knew Hahaha. I also heard that MJ patent a device that helped him with one of his dance moves. That crazy lean he did back in the day on  "Smooth Criminal", I think?
human
*leans slightly forward* Oh man, that's a throwback!  Yes, Bruce Lee won a cha-cha championship!  You don't usually think of cha-cha when you think of a world-renowned martial artist.   then again, you probably don't think of ballet when you hear Tupac rapping!  But, next time you do, imagine him as the Mouse King from Nutcracker, because he actually did that!
gpt
*smiles* Oh it was a cha-cha championship. Yeahhh I heard about Tupac playing the Mouse King from The Nutcracker HAHAHAH.  I still can't picture that lol
human
It's funny, but it's a lot of hard work, too.  I have to give him a lot of respect.  Ballet isn't an easy sport at all.  Dancers work so hard they go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes in a week!  He obviously has the drive, even though it seems a leap (ha ha) from ballet to rap, that dedication and focus drives both pursuits.
gpt
Oh yeah  I wouldn't down play it. I wonder how old he was when he played the Mouse King?
human
High school, actually.  That's also impressive, that kids can be so focused and driven!
gpt
You're right about that.  I wonder was Jada Pinkett also in the play with him. I heard they were best friend in highschool and both were in  Drama class together. 
human
Ha!  So they probably used the phone to talk about his dancing in high school and now she can listen to him on the radio!  :)  
gpt
lol I'm sure it was a rotary phone back then.
human
It very well may have been. If thy were in drama together they probably would like those old class dramas.    They can kick it old school and listen to classic radio dramas and relive "the good old days" - there's free websites for that - but they could afford it either way!  
gpt
*relaxed posture* lol yup... Well it was nice talking to you!
