*relaxed posture* Hi there, do you follow politics?
gpt
*relaxed posture* Not much, do you? I get so tired of hearing about Republicans and Democrats fighting.
human
I do just to stay informed. The use of red and blue actually only became consistent in use in 2000.
gpt
I heard of that, and think it's ironic because of the colors from the Civil War. Did you know that Bill Murray was also in radio shows besides being a movie actor?
human
I did not, but I guess his comic delivery carries over from film to radio pretty well. He probably didn't get a lot of play on Canadian radio, though; laws there require that at least 40% of the music played be Canadian, and I bet that carries over to shows, too.

*takes a step back* I guess it's good to keep it local! Did you know that in the thirties the most popular radio act was one with a ventriloquist! Mind baffling! 
human
That seems illogical, but people do like to listen to some odd things on the radio. For example, there's a weekly Finnish news program that has been conducted entirely in Latin since 1989.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Very interesting! Back when Bing Crosby was in his heyday in 48, I hear his songs accounted for over half of all music played!
human
Sounds like he dominated the airwaves back then. And to think that in WWII there were soldiers making simple radios using razorblades and pencils just a few years earlier.
gpt
Ah yes, foxhole radios...those are really cool! I heard that there was once a radio station who played a Hanson song without revealing the band name, and it became really popular. Surprising because Hanson is usually only liked by preteen girls.
human
I guess people just like what they like when there aren't labels attached! speaking of liking things, did you know that facebook's "like" button is illegal in a German state? Seems a bit odd.
gpt
That is very strange, I didn't think Germany was so strict. I think it's very fascinating how radio waves work. 
human
Yes, it's kind of crazy to think that sounds is translated into electromagnetic waves that we can't hear and then translated back into sound. 
gpt
Do you like to use FaceBook, much? It's crazy how much it's worth today. I heard that they almost called the like button the awesome button.
human
Not much, actually. "Awesome" seems like hyperbole you'd see in advertising, which is actually where most of its revenue comes from.
gpt
Was it Facebook that used to have a dislike button also like YouTube does? I think the stopped using it.
human
I think people would use Facebook less if it became an even more hostile environment than it already is and could dislike other people's opinions with the click of a button haha. At least some people use it for political good; people in Iceland can make suggestions for alterations to their constitution on Facebook.
gpt
I guess we'll see soon if Iceland has a good idea or not! Facebook already has a bad enough reputation for being mentioned in many divorce filings.
human
I guess that would make sense given the amount of drama people can cause so easily! Even though the company might be valued at $104 billion, there's still got to be a couple hundred million that are padding divorce lawyers' pockets now that they wouldn't have other wise haha.

*leans forward* I just recently read about how Facebook actually started out for Harvard students only! Then they included membership from other ivy league schools and then the public. Isn't that funny?
