The information about how Amazon started is really interesting considering how large of a company it is today.
gpt
Yes. It is. I read that Amazon shift workers walk between 7 and 15 miles on a shift!
human
*body relaxes* That is a lot of walking to make sure our orders are all handled! I did not realize that the US Postal Service delivers on Sundays for Amazon too.

Amazon is the second largest retailer to Alibaba Group in total Sales. The fact that he went from selling books online to selling everything online is amazing!
human
You're right. It must be amazing to start out selling one product and then morph into a tech giant and become the largest internet retailer in the world.  I wonder how much larger it will get now that they have their own publishing company, Amazon Publishing and their own studio, Amazon Studios.

I was not aware that they also own IMDB. My son has an IMDB as I am sure every aspiring actor does. They are to retailing what Microsoft is to tech.
human
I also did not know Amazon had acquired IMDB, that is interesting. I wonder where the clock that Jeff Bezos built into the mountain is located. That must be really cool to see.

I was thinking the same thing! I think he is a bit scattered lately. He and his wife is divorcing and he bought the washington Post. Newspapers are dying! Any way funny that this all started with books. Did you know that the record for speed reading is 4700 words per minute?
human
*hands at sides* So interesting! No I did not know that was the speed reading record- that is very fast! I don't think I'd be a good consumer of literature if I attempted speed reading! It's interesting to think of consumers of literature as creating visual images that make sense to them in the unfamiliar places the texts describe.
gpt
*eyes widen* I think it is funny how in the 18th century there was a moral panic that so many people were reading novels. for shame! ha!
human
*takes a step forward* If only they could see today where everyone is reading! Did you know that military branches have reading lists? 
gpt
I was aware of that. That is how Tom Clancy first got published through a military publisher.  The Fact that CS Lewis and Tolkien held you laugh you lose when reading terrible poetry is funny.
human
I agree that is funny; it was probably hard not to laugh judging from the title!

Are you a dog person? did you know dogs were of the first species to be domesticated?
human
I do like dogs! I did learn that in school. It's so cool that they have been selectively breed for so long now that their diets now thrive from being starch-rich which is not adequate for other canid species. 
gpt
*takes a step forward* Only dogs and elephants have the natural ability to point!
human
So interesting! I was unaware that dogs can donate blood for other dogs. How crazy is it that there are 12 different blood types in dogs!
gpt
I had never heard of that, however Google is a dog friendly company and not cats.
human
I wonder how that made it into Googles code of conduct! What's really cool is that in Istanbul you can put a recycled plastic bottle in and get food and water to give to stray dogs. Such a great idea!
gpt
So great Thanks for speaking with me.
human
Thank you as well!
gpt
Also all these years I thought dogs were color blind. It turns out they are not. Who knew?
human
I thought the same thing! I thought they were colorblind as well. It's great to learn some new things.
gpt
Thank you again
