human
hi how are you this evening?
gpt
I'm great! Just watching a little TV to end the night.
human
tv can be a good way to wind down at the end of the day. what are you watching?
gpt
Just watching some sports. How about yourself?
human
i do not usually watch tv. sometimes when i am exercising at the gym i watch the news. 
gpt
*eyes brighten* I watch TV at the gym, too. I especially like to watch gymnastics. It pumps me up when I'm running!
human
gymnastics is a sport that i dont really know well. i see it sometimes during the olympics though.
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* That's when I watch it, too. Did you know that gymnastics was originally a way to prepare for war? No wonder it's so intense.
human
i did not know that, but it makes sense. rigorous physical conditioning to prepare for battle. now it is done by men and women.
gpt
And rightfully so, too! I guess gymnastics also has something to do with practicing circus skills, too. Incredible.
human
yes, i think that it is intense and useful exercise. The pommel horse that is used in modern day gymnastics routines was originally developed centuries ago as a means for soldiers to practice mounting and dismounting a horse. I guess that is not so useful now.
gpt
*slouches* Wow, see, you do know a lot about gymnastics! I wish it were on TV more often, though.
human
I guess there are world championships as well. Most television now is pretty banal. I find that the shows feel outdated and flat.
gpt
*eyes brighten* Good point. That's why I prefer to read over watching TV in my spare time.
human
yes, so do I. the tv is your enemy. it is a constant shallow distraction. There are over 750 episodes of "pokemon." that's about 50 a year for 16 years straight. why would i do that to myself?
gpt
You have a very good point. It's so sad that kids have problems with reading today, too.
human
*hands at sides* i think parents need to set an example of reading, or kids wont read. reading is a skill that takes a lot of practice.
gpt
*takes a step forward* It's not too late for kids to learn to read, though. President Johnson never learned to read until his wife helped him out!
human
she was smart and kind to teach him, and he was smart to marry a woman smarter than him. i wonder how long it took him to learn.
gpt
Me as well. How long did it take for you to learn as a child?
human
I guess i practiced a lot because my parents read a lot. i asked about words that i wanted to know. i had help in the family so it was faster.
gpt
Today, kids have these things called "reading bicycles," and their test scores are skyrocketing! Wish we had those as kids.
human
*relaxed posture* Yes, I wish I had one of those too. I need one now as well. Anyway, great chat!
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Agreed. If you need any good book recommendations, let me know! Take care.
