*raises eyebrows* Good Afternoon - I heard most kids today cannot read the time on an analog clock and I think that's crazy!
gpt
I think so too.  My kids were taught about it at school but it was thirty years ago though.
human
*body relaxes* My kids are in 5th grade and they can tell time on a standard clock.  And I switched all of our digital clocks to military time so they have to do math!
gpt
That was smart.  Kids should know both digital and analog clocks.
human
*takes a step forward* With everyone having smart phones these days, there is little need for them to know how to tell time on a clock - but I agree with you - they should!  It's very important
gpt
What do you think about computers being used in the classrooms?
human
I'm for computers in the class room to an extent and at an age appropriate level.  My kids are learning safe searching techniques and how to type and create reports on the computer now
gpt
Apparently, the Russians made a computer that ran on water in 1936.
human
*eyes widen* I've heard about this and haven't had time to research the water powered component.  Initially I thought it was powered by hydroelectricity, but others have said it actually runs on water.  I am confused and fascinated!
gpt
I am fascinated too.  Did you know that smoking near apple computers would void the warranty?  That's weird.
human
I didn't know about that specific warranty but I like that they are doing their part to stop smoking!  I wonder about vaping and how that affects the warranty 
gpt
*lips slightly parted* I don't know.  Do you consider it as "a biohazard"?
human
I believe cigarette smoke is a bio-hazard - it kills people!  It's amazing that Apple has it built into it's warranty - good think I don't smoke, I had no idea!
gpt
*tilts head* I read an article that says the space shuttle's general purpose computer runs on 1MB of RAM.  Is it too large or smaller than expected?
human
*opens mouth slightly* I can't believe the space shuttle ran on only 1MB of Ram - I always thought the similarities between it and the shuttle from Space Balls (movie) was uncanny.  Our smart phones have 100x the speed and memory!
gpt
*takes a step forward* Apparently, an iphone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear icbm detterent.
human
I wonder if there's an app for ICBM detection, since the phone is more powerful than the computers running the country.  
gpt
*leans forward* I would want to google it on the internet.  I just found out that internet and phone cables just lay on the ocean floor.
human
*raises eyebrows* I would have thought with wireless technology and satellite communication, we wouldn't need something as antiquated as cables and wires on the ocean floor! 
gpt
I wonder if the info is related to under developed countries that do not have satellite connection.
human
*raises eyebrows* Certainly could be but I would think most developed countries would have the technology in place.  Under developed countries wouldn't have the technology to utilize even a wired internet signal - I could be way off base here!
gpt
I'm still reading facts related to telephone and internet.  I want to discuss the topic further but I've got to run now to take my grand kids to a park.  Great chat!
