I wonder if a rotary phone would still work if I hooked it up in my home?  That would be fun to try.  
gpt
Hello there, that would be fun to try again.  I remember using those when I was little. 
human
Did you have one on the wall in your kitchen?  We did, bright yellow.
gpt
Yeah we did, ours was on off yellow, more of a tan or light brown though.  Remember calling other people and the line always being busy at some houses?
human
*eyes widen* These days the phone and TV are all kind of merged.  My iPhone supposedly has more computing power than the nuclear icbm deterrent.  I wonder how they measured that?
gpt
Yeah the phone, tv, and computer have all merged basically.  Yeah that is an interesting fact and thats true how do they measure that?
human
If you ever get a chance to go to the Computer History Museum in Mt View California they have a missile computer on display, I think from a Polaris submarine.  Not much too it really.  
gpt
That would be pretty neat to go see if you are in the area.

It seems such a waste all the internet and compute power that we spend on games and just fooling around.  Like Netflix and Youtube make up half of the internet peak traffic in North America.  Just think if all that power was spent, say, like curing cancer.  
gpt
That is a very good point, and what if instead of all of the hype for popular people, we hyped up people that contribute actual meaningful things to help others. 
human
*eyes widen* You mean like celebrities and singers?  Really what do they do that is of any use?  But we love 'em all anyway.  Like Ringo Starr narrated so many Thomas the Tank engine shows.  And we love him for it.  
gpt
Well that is really cool, no those people bring a lot of joy and amusement, I meant more like reality stars and such.  But yeah that is really cool, I didn't know that!
human
*raises eyebrows* Those "reality" shows are a real waste.  Most of them anyway.  But a good movie can be a real treasure.  The Netflix founder got mad after getting a $40 late fee for Apollo 13 that he had rented.  I guess he was watching it over and over. So he founded Netflix.  Now he can watch whatever he wants.
gpt
Isn't that a funny story, and to think that Blockbuster had a real chance to buy Netflix but turned it down. 
human
*relaxed posture* So many missed chances in Silly Con valley!  And big winners too.  Like did anyone think the Simpsons would become such a perennial hit?  
gpt
Right, I used to love that show, until about the 12th season or so, then I felt the writing went downhill. 
human
*eyes widen* There's only so much the writers can actually do, week after week.  Bart himself has appeared in every show except one.  I suppose we could use all this compute power to track shows like who's in what episode etc.  
gpt
Yeah I wonder what episode that, and you are right we could easily use all this power at our hands. 
human
Let's get all 137 million worldwide Netflix subscribers to watch all the Simpson's episodes and record every character.  That would be a hoot!
gpt
Yeah that would be quite a feat as well!
human
*eyes brighten* Sign me up.  I'll take the free Netflix subscription in return for doing the work.
gpt
*leans forward* Hey same here, well it was nice talking with you today, I hope you have a good one.
