Hey, did you know the reason NYC has a 212 area code is, is because it's the fastest number you can dial on an old rotary phone?
gpt
*takes a step back* Hi, no I did not think of that, but excellent thought.  Speaking of phones, it is amazing that an iphone has more computing power than the entire us nuclear missile deterrent system!
human
Yes phones have really progressed, nowadays there are people who haven't even used land lines never mind rotary phones. Iphones are all they know.
gpt
*leans slightly forward* Yes.  Everyone has become so reliant on mobile phones.  It is nice to see Unicef offering to donate a day of clean water to children for every minute your cell phone is not used.
human
*eyes widen* I wonder how they keep track of that? Nowadays no one using their phones for calling. I almost never do. Facebook for me is the preferred way of keeping in touch.
gpt
Yes, use Facebook a lot too.  Great way to keep in touch.  I can never get over the fact that Myspace turned down an offer to buy it for $75 million!!
human
Now the company is worth billions. It's really interesting that the reason facebook is blue is because Mark Zuckerburg is partially color blind. The blue is so iconic now.
gpt
The blue is totally iconic.  People are so reliant on Facebook that Iceland is using Facebook to rewrite their constitution!  I can't even being to imagine that comment section.
human
Wow, but reading the comments is half the fun. Unless you see stupid comments your friends make and then you have to unfriend them. Remember when burger king gave out free whoopers if you unfriend 10 people?
gpt
*smiles* I do not remember that, but it's hilarious.  My wife plays so many games on Facebook.  It is pretty awesome that she can play multiplayer games over the internet with her friends or strangers.
human
Yes the multiplayer games are fun. It really is such a good invention and it's free. I actually wish there was a pay version with less ads. I understand on screen ads is how they make money but at times they get annoying.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* They are very annoying.  Amazing how far they have come!  A music protocol was used for networking the first multiplayer first person shooting game.
human
*takes a step back* Interesting. You know it's been almost 7 years since facebook went public and I still haven't got around to buying stock. I really should.
gpt
I can't believe it has been that long.  From almost selling for $75 million to being worth over $100 billion, wow!
human
I wish they'd add old games to their multiplayer games. sega genesis games like streets of rage, or snes games too.
gpt
I remember playing both Sega and SNES.  I also remember the fateful Halo 2 server shutdown from 2010.  Wish I knew that if I left the console on, I could have played for another three and half weeks!
human
*laughs* Good times. Golden Eye was the first multiplayer game I played but it was in person not online. Apparently they added this feature last minute. We probably wouldn't remember the game today if not for it.
gpt
*takes a step back* I loved Golden Eye and Mario Kart.  I could play those for hours.  Rare and Nintendo were not even aware that multiplayer mode was being added!
human
I bet they are happy it was added! Who knows how much longer it would have taken for nintendo multiplayer to catch on. In fact I think I'm going to go hook my n64 up now.
gpt
I saw a kiosk selling old Nintendo systems and games in our mall the other day.  That would be a fun way to spend the afternoon.
human
I still have lots of old games. I'm going to go play them now. Nice talking to you, bye!
gpt
*eyes brighten* Nice talking to you!  I am going play some NBA 2k19 against the AI-controlled computer opponent that does not have the advantage and flexibility of human thought!
