I learned some interesting things about phones
gpt
Oh yeah, tell me about it.  I love interesting facts
human
Well the old area codes were based on how fast you could dial it on a rotary phone. So New York was 212 because it's the fastest.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* I remember those phones.  How far we have come by carrying around a cell phone in our pocket everywhere.  The iphone has more computing power than the us nuclear deterrant system.  And we all own one.
human
Yeah, that is crazy. In our pockets we carry more information than our ancestors knew existed.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* It is amazing when you try to understand the tech behind it.  It works by converting sound into electronic signals.
human
*eyes widen* I don't know how someone even thought of that idea.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Or do you ever think about how they got those cables on the ocean floor?  They are less than 3 inches in diameter and they carry so much information including internet data.
human
What do you think they used to get the cables down there? Was it people or machines do you think?
gpt
I can't imagine how they figured out how to do that.  Without those cables, how would the entire world be able to watch Fox news via the internet.
human
Did you know Fox News almost made a channel that only showed the Simpsons? I really wish that existed.
gpt
*takes a step back* I am sure a lot of people do.  Surprised they didn't do that.  Maybe they didn't because the simpsons made fun of fox news.
human
I wonder what people in the other countries that get Fox News think about it. It's in like 86 different countries but most of the stuff I see on there is pretty America-centric.
gpt
I suppose it is the same as the US watching BBC or something like that.  Fox is very popular seeing that is more watched than CNN and msnbc combined.
human
I recently learned it was created by Richard Nixon which is kind of crazy.
gpt
Really, that is interesting.  I guess the news and politics have a long standing relationship/
human
*relaxed posture* Politics and sports also. The supreme court has a basketball court on the top floor.
gpt
I think I heard about that.  They call it the highest court in the land.
human
They even play basketball in New Zealand. Their team is called the tall blacks.
gpt
I don't think you could get away with a name like that here.  I didn't realize they played basketball in New Zealand.
human
Yeah, we live in a really global society these days.
gpt
Well, speaking of basketball, I think I might go see if I can get some tickets to the next game in town.  Nice chatting with you.
