It's not really my forté - but phones are pretty high-tech! You can call people over long distances, so they can see your face or voice. Or you can play games on them that are pretty intense, like fighting games or RPGs! [hm] Like... interactive books, I guess?

Yeah! Though this one looks like it's mostly just good for texting each other right now.... It's an easy way to contact someone even if you're not in the same place as them.
