So, you spend much time on the Internet?  I know I do, there's just so much info out there.  They say that constantly clicking on links can cause real addiction that can actually be measurable on the brain!  Wild, huh?
gpt
That is wild and I do spend quite a bit of time online. I never realized that I could be addicted just because of the links I click on.  
human
*takes a step forward* Yeah, I've heard of people getting up early in the morning just to check their email stuff.  Think it's gotten worse with the proliferation of cell phones.  People got their eyes glued to the things, they'll even walk right into wall or fall into clearly marked holes while walking!  
gpt
I've seen things about that on tv.  I do check my phone when I wake up but I don't get up early just to check it.  You know it's bad in the world though when there's cell and internet service at the peak of mt. everest.
human
Really?  That's wild!  You think they'd be a bit preoccupied with other things like, oh, climbing that they wouldn't have time to check their phones.  Course, I suppose the cell service could be there for emergencies and such
gpt
Wow!  Hey, have you heard of the library of Alexandria?  They have a complete copy of the internet saved there.  I wonder if that means everything we do online is saved at their library.
human
I wouldn't doubt it.  They say everything you've ever posted, typed or sent is "out there" somewhere.  You think that'd make people more careful about what they type, but, something about being behind a computer makes one feel anonymous!
gpt
That's true.  No one is very careful I suppose.  I mean, only 7% of us actually read the terms and conditions when we do things online.
human
*backs away* Well, there's just so much gobbly-gook and legalese on those agreements, personally my eye start to glaze over after a few paragraphs!  I just try watch for any jarring phrases like "give up your soul" or "may zap you brain with radiation" type clauses... LOL.   
gpt
i usually watch for  the word "fee".  The rest I just ignore to be honest.  I guess the makers of the internet had some fun thought when they set this all up. I mean, the 3 line horizontal menu thing is called the hamburger button.
human
Yeah, that is a pretty funny name for it.  Do you watch much TV?   I know there's a lot of drama movies on television these days.  I used to watch the show House a lot.  Did you know Hugh Laurie made 700k per episode while doing that series?  Amazing!
gpt
I used to watch House too.  No i had no idea he made that much! The show was good and he was great but that's a lot of money!
human
*eyes widen* Yeah, it was a good show although it did annoy me how he seemed to pull the "karma Houdini" trick a little too often.  Speaking of acting, did you know Michael Caine because an actor because all the hot girls in his school were in drama class?  Makes sense to me!  :)
gpt
Hahaha!  No I didn't know that.  He's a really great actor, it's a surprise to learn that he wasn't actually interested in it back in the day.  Of course you never know who you run into in drama classes.  Ellie kemper, she plays erin on the office was taught by Jon Hamm in high school.
human
I did not know that.  I've actually never watched The Office.  Heard a lot about it though, it's one of my "been meaning to check out" list of shows, but just never got around to it.  Did you know it's actually a remake of a British show of the same name?  
gpt
*calm eyes* I think I heard that before.  It sounds familiar.  So, do you watch any basketball?  With all of the politics stuff on the news I think it's interesting to learn that the supreme court has a basketball court on the top floor of their building.
human
I don't watch it, but I know a little about it.  They say that the highest paid state employee is either college football or basketball coach.  I guess that lets you know just how POPULAR the sport is!
gpt
True enough.  You know the guy who invented it turned out to be the only losing coach at the University of Kansas.  You'd think if he invented the game he would know how to play it better than anybody.
human
Well, there's a gap sometimes between knowing how to do something and being able to physically do it.  I know how to run several blocks, but I think most people would be better at doing it than me.  Unless of course, you constantly invent "new" rules on the spot to help you win.  Hehehe! 
gpt
That is true. I really hadn't thought about it that way!  The game itself is actually technical when you think about it.  Everything has to be a certain measurement such as the basket being 18 inches.
human
*eyes brighten* Hehe.. my friends from overseas would just stare blankly at that.  And I'd have to tell them 46cm.  Course, they have a point a system based on 10s is a lot easier to figure out, but I'm just so dang used to inches and feet... Speaking of rules though, did you know Kareem's constant use dunking got the shot banned from basketball for over a decade?
gpt
I had no idea.  That doesn't seem quite fair to the rest of the players to ban it like that.
