human
*eyes widen* hey there, do you use your telephone much?
gpt
I use a cell phone, but I haven't used a landline in years. I think it's interesting how compared to the US nuclear ICBM deterrent, the iPhone has more computing power
human
yeah that is indeed mind blowing. did you ever use a rotary phone?
gpt
No, but that would be fun. I heard the fastest area code to dial on the rotary phone is 212, which is why that's New York's area code
human
yes, they were a pain to call someone bu tat the same time a little fun too
gpt
*takes a step forward* Did you ever use a phone book? When two pages are overlapped together, it's impossible to separate two phonebooks
human
Yes we used to but no longer need it. Now we have phones with lots of memory to do that.
gpt
*eyes widen* True. But people have become so attached to cell phones that for every minute you don't use it, Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need
human
*eyes widen* Yeah that must be a lot of money if we put a little effort into it.
gpt
True. The cables on the ocean floor that carry the internet and phone data are only 2.7 inches in diameter
human
*raises eyebrows* I wonder how long they are though. I mean they cross really large oceans
gpt
That's true, but it still efficiently transmitted the human voice across all those miles!
human
yeah, the technology has really progressed. Do you like trousers?
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I typically call them pants, but apparently the Romans saw them as signs of barbarism
human
that is really strange. in collinsville, you are not allowed to wear saggy pants
gpt
Maybe that's not a bad thing. Aladdin wouldn't be allowed there though. His pants were inspired by MC Hammer
human
yeah and they were for sure very saggy
gpt
The popularity of pants started with riding horses, which makes sense. Wearing a robe while on a horse would be very uncomfortable
human
True. A person even sued a dry cleaning business for $67 million because they lost his pants. So excessive!
gpt
Those must have been a special pair of pants. Some think pants originated in East Asia of all places
