Good morning!  Do you know anyone that still has a rotary phone?
gpt
Good morning.  No, the last person I knew with one was my grandmother and she has been dead for 26 years, now! Do you know anyone?
human
*leans slightly forward* I don't know anyone either.  Be curious to see if anyone else out there has one still.  My grandparents had one as well.  Did you know that New York's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone?
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* That's cool! didn't know that.  I'm old enough to remember phone booths and party lines.  Most kids now only have a cell phone.
human
*smiles* lol  I remember the party lines and phone booths too.  We must be around the same age.  Now they have iphones, which only one of them has more computing power than the entire icbm US nuclear deterrent. 
gpt
We must be!lol Technology is amazing.  I hear though that Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child for every minute that someone doesn't use their cell phone.  Wonder if they have donated any yet?
human
*laughs* I'm not sure, but I am going to look it up.  I wonder how they know just how many minutes you stay off your phone?  I like the idea!
gpt
I like the idea, too.  I just don't see them donating that much, because everytime I look around everybody is always talking on them, texting, or surfing the net.  There's no eye contact or face to face communication, anymore.  That's a lost art with the youth today.
human
*eyes brighten* I agree with you 100 percent.  Sometimes I wish we could go back to the days of the party lines.  I think that's when I had the most phone in my life.  lol  I don't like seeing everyone now with their heads buried in their phones like you described.
gpt
So true, technology sure has its advantages and disadvantages.  Interesting note, I read somewhere that the cables used to carry phone and internet data across the oceans is only 2.7 inches and they just lay it on the ocean floor.  
human
*laughs* I wouldn't have wanted that job laying those down.  Talk about a project.  lol  It's impossible to seperate 2 phonebooks that simply have their pages overlapped together.  I wonder if a lot of the kids now even know what a phone book is?  lol
gpt
I doubt they know what one is.  Just curious, do you still have a landline?
human
We do but only because we have to have one with our internet package.  There's no option to not have it either.  We never use it.
gpt
That's me too! Getting back to those cables on the ocean floor, they must be wrapped in some heavy duty stuff, because being only 2.7 inches, in my mind a crab or lobster could break that!
human
*raises eyebrows* Ha!  I never would have thought that.  VERY interesting point.  They have to be made of something tough.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Maybe kevlar or something like it.  Anyway, on a different note, do you like to read?
human
I love reading!
gpt
*takes a step back* Me too!  I can speed read, but nowhere near the world record of 4,700 words per minute!  That's impressive.
human
If I could read like that, I would be able to read a lot more than I do now.  lol
gpt
I hear you!  Have you ever read Ender's Game?
human
*body relaxes* I have never read it.  I think I've seen the movie.  lol  I see that it's suggested reading for many military organizations.
gpt
I had heard that it was suggested reading for them.  I'm curious, I want  to read it, now! lol
human
*body relaxes* The movie was pretty good!  In the 18th century there was a moral panic because of the spread of reading novels!
gpt
*laughs* I haven't seen the movie, either.  I can't believe there was a moral panic, boy they should see it nowadays!  Talk about moral panic, anyway, it's been so nice chatting with you this morning.  I really enjoyed it.  I hope you have a blessed day!
