Dieter Bohn Google Duplex is still confusing restaurant employees

We've got two more weeks of Game of Thrones, which, more than anything, has me thinking about how we use social media to watch stuff together. I wrote about this last year when I was watching the World Cup, but it's incredible how basically the entire world logs on at the same time and experiences this show in real time together. It's not the sort of thing that usually happens for me with TV outside of things like the Super Bowl, which just goes to show how big Game of Thrones is these days. 

Just watch out for spoilers.
