Hey - do you have a Netflix subscription? If so, got any good recommendations?
gpt
I do, but I don't get on as often as most Americans. Netflix and YouTube combined contribute to half the peak internet traffic, but I think I'm an expection
human
I'm definitely part of the rule! Guess that's why they're a multi-billion dollar company, basically coming to replace both rental services AND traditional TV services
gpt
Yet, they still spend more on postage than they do on bandwidth, which means they probably make a lot from those who stream
human
I think that means they're making more from DVD rentals. I wonder who still rents from them?
gpt
They're spending more on sending DVD rentals than on bandwidth for streamers though. I guess it's hard to know. I would imagine that those in an area with poor internet service might still rent DVDs
human
True. Also, sometimes I look up movies or shows and they only have them available via physical DVD, so I guess some people still splurge for full access
gpt
That's true! And it's a better deal than the $40 late fee that inspired Reed Hastings to start Netflix in the beginning
human
It's funny how much I watch Netflix yet..don't watch Netflix. I'll have a show on and be half paying attention to my phonw

The iPhone has completely changed the way I live. I'm not surprised that women seem to like them better than men
human
*takes a step back* I am surprised to learn that, actually. The latest models have gotten bigger and are often too wide for the woman to comfortably hold as opposed to the average man
gpt
That might be why they made the bigger models, though I know plenty of women who love the bigger phones. Microsoft didn't think the iPhone would do well once they came out with their own, and even held a funeral for the iPhone. A bit premature
human
*body relaxes* Haha, I remember that "funeral." Very haughty of them! I don't know why making the phones bigger would be a good move for them if it alienates their key demographic, though. A bit like that game "Send me to heaven." It seems to not help them overall. 
gpt
But they have both smaller phones and bigger ones. Two demographics. I sometimes watch the presentations from Apple, but I didn't see the first one. Apparently Steve Jobs had to switch phones throughout to stop them from crashing
human
They've come a long way since then - they've even technically been used in music production. A guy from Muse recorded a fetal heartbeat and used that in a track
gpt
The programs on it are conducive for that. And if that one isn't enough, there are over 2.2 million other options
human
*leans slightly forward* They're also pretty good for videos. A movie came out about 2015 that was shot entirely on an iPhone. Funnily enough, you can find it on Netflix!
gpt
And the cameras have advanced even since then. It's evolved a lot since the first generation was released in 2007
human
I'm on my iphone all the time. I actually play Pokemon Go a lot, even though I'm an adult
gpt
For a while, I was even using my phone to keep up on baseball scores when I couldn't watch the game. Do you have any interest in the MLB?
human
I do! I'm a New Yorker and a huge Yankees fan, though I do root for the Mets as well :)
gpt
I would like to meet some Japanese who watch American baseball, because I hear they're big fans of the sport. Have a good evening!
