Hi there! Any plans for the weekend, maybe something cultural like a play or dance performance?
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yeah! That does sound like a fun way to spend the weekend, though I'll stop myself from attempting the infamous Michael Jackson leaning dance move since he uses a patented device for it, what about you?
human
I'm probably sticking to dramas on TV haha. It's crazy that he patented a device for a move--he was a businessman too! Speaking of people with multiple talents, did you know that Bruce Lee was a champion cha-cha dancer?
gpt
Though I don't think anyone has attempted to recreate that iconic move, perhaps to avoid paying any licensing fees or something. For some reason, cha-cha dancing and Bruce Lee don't seem to belong in the same sentence, just like Tupac and ballet is surprising to me too!
human
Well, even babies dance spontaneously when they hear music, so it must be hardwired into human behavior. 
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Babies dancing to the beat is so cute and fun to watch but ballet dancers going through four pairs of shoes in a week, ouch!
human
Yes, that sounds hard, both on the wallet and on the body. I bet they go through less shoes than Shakespeare went through pens, though--he wrote 39 plays!
gpt
That's a good conclusion. I had no idea that it was Shakespeare who invented the names like Miranda, Jessica, and Olivia. I think Jessica is a very common name.
human
He certainly was creative, but who knows how they were even pronounced originally. Some of his rhymes and puns don't work with modern pronunciations, so the meaning isn't quite the same.
gpt
That's a good point. His plays have even been translated into all types of languages but I am curious to see how the terms he coined like "good riddance or laughing stock" are translated in other languages and whether or not they convey the same meaning.
human
I'm sure a lot is lost in translation, especially given that blank verse doesn't carry over rhythmically haha. So much about him is unknown because he was a commoner, so who knows if he was even cool with his words being translated.
gpt
Do you have a favorite Shakespeare play that enjoy?
human
So, I am less than enthusiastic because I took a Shakespeare course in college and ended up liking his works less than I did initially because the professors who team-taught it presented opposing interpretations.  But a Polish composer liked Hamlet so much that he donated his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company in hopes that it would be used as the skull of Yorick--talk about being a fan!
gpt
*takes a step back* Oh wow, I would be really interested in classes where the professor takes an opposing view contrary to what everyone thinks. That's really impressive, I recently read that more football players who have passed are donating their skulls for research as well. I think there is an association between head injuries and behavior with football
human
Football is definitely tough (physically) on the brain. I imagine one would struggle with a Shakespeare play after a few major concussions, maybe even making a phone call!
gpt
Yeah seriously! Speaking of telephones, the area code for New York is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone back in the day. I wonder how many people know what rotary phones are these days.
human
Yeah, I know how to use one, but most kids these days have never even opened a phonebook! Apparently it is impossible to separate two phonebooks whose pages simply overlap, I guess because they have so much friction from the paper.
gpt
*leans forward* Oh wow, I agree, a lot of kids probably didn't know that people used to make a living from selling ads in phone books! We have come so far these days! I wonder if people knew that Unicef donated a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute someone did not use their cell phones, how many people who participate, what do you think?
human
I think that's a tough sell for a lot of people because they use their phones so much, which is a shame. An iPhone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent, so I guess you can't blame a generation that has such easy access to information all the time.
gpt
That is a lot of computing power, but in this digital age, I guess that's much needed since no one has the patience anymore! We even have cables laying across the ocean floors, I guess that's what we need to brace ourselves for 5G evolution!
human
I think the cables are there to stay because of how difficult it is to send data over the air over long distances. 5G is actually going to consist of a lot more small, local devices transmitting data than huge cell phone towers every couple of miles, so at least that eyesore will be eliminated gradually!
gpt
Oh ok I need to read up on that to stay informed! Thanks for the great insight!
