Good morning!  Do you use facebook?  Can you believe it was launched back in 2004?
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Yes I do! It is very hard to believe wow. I remember when I first got mine. Don't use it so much anymore. Hard to believe a third of all divorce filings in the USA in 2011 contained the word "facebook"
human
I didn't know that!  That many people are getting divorced over facebook?!  Maybe that's why a state in Germany has the like button banned,made illegal to use.
gpt
Yes they must be. Oh wow that is surprising. Maybe Germany is on to something...Another crazy thing is that there are more people on facebook than there were people in the world 200 years ago!
human
Seriously?  That is something that really makes you think.  Practically everyone in the world is using a site that was started for harvard students by harvard students.
gpt
Yes exactly. Now Zuckerberg is one of the richest in the world! A worrying thing is that 30% of Americans use facebook as their primary news source. No wonder the Russians want to exploit that.
human
That's true.  I admit that I am one of them but I use multiple news sources to compare and contrast.  As for zuckerberg, facebook had a value of $104 billion in 2012 alone so you can imagine how rich he is.
gpt
Wow that is incredible. One odd thing is that Facebook has 56 gender options. That seems excessive.
human
That does seem excessive. I can't even imagine what all of them would be.  Did you know that Iceland is rewriting their constitution via facebook, allowing the public to make suggestions and alterations?
gpt
Very progressive of them. It is amazing how far technology has come. I remember when people just listened to the radio for fun. There is a radio station that translates solar activity into sound and you can listen to the sun's music!
human
I didn't know that! I would like to listen to it. I have heard that you can hear storms on Jupiter on the radio though.
gpt
*eyes widen* I would like to listen to that as well. One of the most popular radio acts in the 1930s was a ventriloquist-which understandably baffled critics!
human
That's funny! Speaking of the 1930s, there's a website where you can go to listen to old radio dramas.  Maybe you can hear the ventriloquist!
gpt
Oh that would be cool! Also I bet you could hear a lot of Bing Crosby-his recordings filled more than half of the radio time in 1948!
human
I like Bing Crosby, especially the movie White Christmas.  I wonder if they play his songs in Canadian in Canada.  Canada has a law where at least 40% of music on the radio must be in Canadian.
gpt
Oh yeah good call, great movie! Interesting law seems a bit extreme. Do you remember that song MMbop? An alt-rock chicago radio station had a Hanson song be the most recorded because the DJ didn't reveal the band!
human
No I don't remember it.  So, the song was good enough to be on the station but because it was by Hanson listeners wouldn't have paid any attention to it so the dj never said who it was by?
gpt
Exactly because Hanson isn't exactly alt-rock it is more Pop. I also like the actor bill murray. He voiced the human torch in the 1970's fantastic four radio show.
human
I like Bill Murray too. I never knew he did that.  Radio is so versatile!  You can listen to music, hear the news, and even learn a language.  There's a radio station in Finland that broadcasts the news in classical latin every week.
gpt
That would be fun to listen too. Latin is a very unique language! Amazing how far we have come from Radio to Facebook with 56 gender options and a marriage killer apparently!
