I've always enjoyed reading. How about yourself?
gpt
Hi! I have to some extent but I can see why people find it boring, at least books can be interpreted differently by each person which makes them interesting,
human
They are very interesting. Did you know that the book Starship Troopers is on the reading lists for 3 out of the 5 military branches? I wonder why that is. 
gpt
I wonder too! Maybe they like books related at all to troops in some form.
human
Apparently because Ender's Game is also suggested for military organizations. 
gpt
Ahh that's interesting too. I wonder if the troops would've read even back when there was a moral panic around the spread of reading.
human
*raises eyebrows* I heard there was a moral panic about that in the 8th century. There always has to be something. Just in my lifetime there has been panics about movies, rock music, tv, and video games. 
gpt
Oh absolutely, cultural shifts like that are always happening. I wonder if there was ever a panic about innovations like the telephone!
human
Oh I'm sure. I think I heard that there was. Something about a fear of women being on the phone too long. I don't remember the reasoning behind it. Did you know that the cables carrying the phone and internet data across water are only 2.7 inches around?
gpt
*takes a step forward* That's crazy to think, so much information in so small of a cable. A lot of olden things stayed about telephones. New York's area code of 212 is so because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone.
human
That makes sense. Did you know that Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your cell phone? I wonder how those two things go together?
gpt
*takes a step forward* And I wonder how they measure that! It's hard to not use your cell phone though, they're so compelling. An iphone has more power than the entire US nuclear icbm deterrent.
human
It is difficult now. iPhones are powerful but that's surprising. Do you use the internet frequently? I know that I do. 
gpt
I do! It's scary how powerful the internet is too. And people are very lax with it, only 7% of people read the terms and service when buying on the internet.
human
I must admit that I am one of those. Those terms are crazy long. Do you know what the three horizontal lines on apps and websites is called?
gpt
Yes! I've heard it's called a hamburger button, makes sense when you picture it. I try not to use the internet too much, it can actually cause measurable addition to clicking links!
human
Yes it is called a hamburger button. That makes sense. I've had that happen a lot on YouTube. One video keeps leading to another. Did you know that you can get service on Mount Everest?
gpt
Ahah that's certainly impressive, maybe they should advertise that more. A lot of institutions are focused around the internet. The library of Alexandria actually has a saved copy of the internet somehow!
human
I can't imagine the amount of space it would take to do that. I did hear that there was a backup somewhere in case the internet burns down but I don't know how that would happen. 
gpt
Maybe it would be for the best one day, free a lot of people from the temptation of using the internet
