Are you a big Netflix watcher?
gpt
I don't have a Netflix account believe it or not, but it is very useful I have seen.  How about yourself?
human
*eyes widen* Oh wow. You might be one of the only people I've met who doesn't have a Netflix account (or at least use someone else's). Haha. Yes. I do, in fact, have a Netflix account. I'm one of that 33% of people that makes up Netflix bandwidth between 9pm and 12 am. haha
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Yeah I am a weirdo for sure lol, and wow! That is an incredible amount of bandwidth. 
human
Right?! I had no idea Netflix made up such a huge portion of the media world. I knew it was a LOT, for sure, but not that much. I guess it helps you can pretty much watch it anywhere and everywhere - phones, computers, tv. Hard not to be everywhere. So, what do you do in your free time if you aren't a tv junkie like most of the world? :-p
gpt
I like to watch a lot of sports programs, so most of my DVR has basketball or european soccer on it lol.  How about you?
human
I'm a big reader. I'm not often without a book in my hand... or a phone. Haha. I have our local library's digital app on my phone, so it has worsened my reading addiction. It's hard to sneak a book into a company staff meeting, but a phone? Yeah. Everyone expects people to be staring at their phones all the time anyway. 
gpt
Good call, the phones are getting to a tipping point for me, I have never felt comfortable when I look around and others are on their phone, I have to put mine away.  I have a hard time w e-readers too, I have to be reading from a hard copy myself. 
human
*eyes brighten* I much prefer a hard copy. I know it sounds super cliche', but books really do just have better ambiance. The smell, the feel. I love books. But, as much as I hate to admit it, I am a slave to convenience. Plus, that online library saves me A LOT of money in new book costs. Ha. I also use their audiobook collection a lot. I have to drive about 50 minutes back and forth to work every day, so I get a lot of "reading" done on the drive.
gpt
*leans forward* I buy all of my books from the local thrift shop.  I found a copy of the complete history of the world, by HG wells from like 1915, it was very interesting. 
human
Oh wow!! That is awesome!! I do a lot of thrift shop stuff, too. I collect all different editions of Alice in Wonderland, and thrift shops are the best places to find old copies.
gpt
Nice! Yeah and I'm sorry, it was called a short history of the world from 1919.  Do you use google much?
human
I do! I love that I can just click the little microphone and verbally ask my questions of google on my PHONE. haha. Sorry. Gah. It really is awful how much we rely on our phones. But I do. I'm not sure that I could actually do my job without google maps. Because I work quite a ways away from my home, I don't know my way around too much. So I rely heavily on google maps.
gpt
*tilts head* Yeah and we rely on google I think even when we don't realize.  They own a ton of things, YouTube for instance. 
human
Yeah! Google and Amazon are taking over just about everything. It's sad when a five minute lapse on google rids the internet of nearly HALF its internet traffic. That's just nuts.
gpt
That really is, and just continues to grow.  I think in years it will just be like 5 big companies for internet and retail goods.  I hope not but that's how its going. 
human
I actually completely agree with you. There are things that I would never even think of that are owned by google and by amazon. I am a huge GOODREADS fan, and it was bought by amazon a few years ago. And as for google... they offer all there services for free. It is hard to compete with that. Why pay for microsoft when you can use google docs? google slides? google forms? Free versions of the same things.
gpt
Exactly, I just hope governments keep things separate while still letting it be a free market where we get choices and we are in control of setting prices, not the big corpos. 
human
*lips pressed tightly* I hope so, too. We see how well that works with big pharma. We don't need everything to head in that direction, but I'm not sure it is even stoppable now. It's a train charging full speed ahead.
gpt
Agreed.  But, if they let determine the prices and not those big guys competition is always good. 
human
Yes. Free market system. Supply and demand. Basic principles of economy. I don't know how we got so far off the mark with that in the U.S. Sorry. I'm getting political. haha. I tend to do that sometimes without meaning to!
gpt
Hey money is always political basically, anyways good chatting it was interesting!  Have a good one!
